For as long as I can remember, I have always been rather cautious when it comes to my skincare routine. I give thought to the kind of products that I use, but I think it’s fair to say that before I became a content creator, I knew little in the way of skincare.
My interest piqued when I joined the industry and now my knowledge of what I should and shouldn’t be using on my skin has expanded. So much so, that I’ve started to incorporate handy tips into my everyday life. One such example would be the fact that I limit the number of times that I touch my skin. Doing this can effectively limit breakouts.
This may seem like a great length to go to, but nothing gets me down more than finding a break out that I know to be self-inflicted. This is just one way in which I have pro-actively looked after my skin over the last four to five years, but my latest skincare weapon is the
ABOUT THE GARNIER PURE ACTIVE FACE SCRUB
The Garnier exfoliating face wash claims to clear the skin deep down, way into the pores, ridding them of dirt, whilst smoothing the skin’s surface. The Garnier exfoliating face wash has a concentrated formula that contains natural exfoliating micro-particles and a well-known anti-bacterial ingredient.
This combination of ingredients helps to fight the appearance of blemishes. The Garnier Pure Active Face Scrub also aims to remove dead skin cells, de-clog pores, and cleanse the face thoroughly in the process.
Its formula is suitable for acne-prone problematic skin, however as I have mentioned on the blog previously, I would class my complexion to be pretty clear and I think I’ve been lucky with it over the years. However, I do consider myself to have combination skin, so annoyingly the oil which gathers around my T-zone can cause the occasional break-out.
Even though I would not class myself as a girl who has acne-prone skin, I have found myself enjoying the incorporation of this Garnier Pure Active Face Scrub into my skincare routine as a little exfoliation treatment. If you are like me, I have no doubt that you too will enjoy using this Garnier
FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF THE GARNIER PURE ACTIVE FACE SCRUB
Salicylic acid is one of the main components of this product, which acts as an anti-bacterial ingredient. I believe the fresh feeling that this product gives to be due to this is one ingredient. On first use, the Garnier Pure Active Face Scrub runs a chilled sensation across the skin’s surface, which feels as though the product is penetrating deep down into the layers of the skin within seconds.
Before discovering this product, I can’t say that I have ever come across another product with this ingredient in its formula before. Feeling the cool chill of this scrub against my skin was something that I wasn’t expecting, but it actually feels really good, especially knowing that its icy touch is just the sensation of the active ingredients doing their job in keeping my skin freshly cleansed and clear.
After a few days of using this Garnier Pure Active Face Scrub, I began to notice that the blemishes I had were pretty much gone. Now whenever the odd blemish appears, I know that this skincare weapon will keep my complexion clear, thanks to the genius formula created by
Directions
I like to apply this Garnier Pure Active Face Scrub to damp skin. To start, I cleanse my face with water. I then apply the Garnier exfoliating face wash over my T-zone, but not my whole face. This is due to the fact that I have combination skin.
With this skin type, the T-zone is commonly a problem area so, this is where blemishes are likely to appear for someone with my complexion. I see no sense in wasting a product, so I use it where necessary and nothing more.
I then massage the scrub gently for 2-5 minutes before washing it away. I use this scrub 1-3 times a week for the perfect skincare ritual.
Results
Since using this Garnier exfoliating face wash over the past few weeks, I can honestly say that I can’t find any downsides to its performance. Its ingredients are active and it works well with my sensitive skin.
Since using this product, my complexion feels fresh and flawless and now my skin feels smoother than ever and my pores are smaller. What more could a girl ask for from a facial scrub?
Over the years, I have not found another exfoliating product that has worked with my skin without causing a breakout. I am so pleased to have found this Garnier Pure Active Face Scrub which acts as a gentle cleanser.
Garnier actually has a whole Pure Active skincare range which I am tempted to delve into, so I will definitely check out further products from this range within the near future.
