[St. Ives] Wonderful Scrub

I've known it had good reviews and have been curious about it for a long time, but I hadn't bought it because I already had other face washes.

St. Ives scrub face wash. It should be available in America too. It was super cheap at $3.50 on sale. The St. Ives Christmas season set included a body lotion, a small-sized scrub face wash, body soap, and various other items.

This one is oatmeal, but there are others like apricot, green tea, coconut, and citrus, and they each have different effects.
The cleansing effects also range from gentle to deep, and while the oatmeal one I have is a gentle scrub, the apricot deep scrub seems to have been the most popular for a long time.

The oatmeal one I tried this time is a little different from the others because it can also be used as a mask. In other words, two effects in one bottle. You spread it on wet skin, leave it for 10-15 minutes, then massage it as a scrub and rinse it off.

The ingredients include oatmeal (which I think is like rice bran in Japan), honey, and walnut shells—it feels like a breakfast menu, doesn't it? It also has a very gentle scent.

The usage experience was amazing.
It felt like the scrub removed all the excess stuff from the surface of my skin, and it felt incredibly soft and fluffy. I secretly think that if I use this along with coconut oil, I could get a perfect finish both inside and out. Seriously, my face is like breakfast. But I really love things like this.

It says to use it every 2 or 3 days, but it's so effective that I feel like once a week might be enough.

It's just a drugstore product, but it's the face wash that has impressed me the most so far. I'm happy to have found something good. I'd like to try the popular apricot deep scrub too.

Even if it's a scrub, you shouldn't choose ones that contain microbeads anymore. They flow into the ocean and are eaten by fish and turtles, which has become a problem. And we are the ones who eat those fish.

Canada seems to be implementing a ban on single-use plastics in the near future. They are currently investigating and plan to ban the most harmful items first. In anticipation of that, I sometimes see people carrying metal straws. It's like having your own chopsticks. Mumbai, India, has already implemented a plastic ban. Modern pubs and restaurants in the city center seem to be complying. They say it will be implemented across all of India in the future. (Since the gap between rich and poor is extreme, I wonder if only the 'wealthy' side will comply?) So, what about Japan? I feel like we have an excessive packaging culture.
