What I Love Today: St. Ive's Skin Products

When it comes to beauty products, I always like to try new things. That means even if I like something, when I run out of it I am likely to buy something different the next time. Well these three products from St. Ive's have stolen my heart. A few of them I tried to buy something different when I ran out, and ended up going right back. I promise not to cheat on you again St. Ive's! 
I want to share them with you (my lovely readers) but first let me say this: I have sensitive skin. It gets dry easily, so these products cater to that trait. If you have a more oily skin type, there's a chance you may not love these products as much as I do. 

1. Oatmeal &Shea Butter Body Wash. 

Hello Handsome...


Why I love it:
This bodywash is gentle on your skin, but still gets it clean. After the shower if you don't have time or energy to cover yourself with lotion, you will survive, because it actually moisturizes your skin! Yet somehow, it doesn't leave you with that oily, unclean feeling. Oh, and it smells amazing too. Whether you're waking up and showering before a tough day, or calming down after one, somehow the smell is the perfect comfort. 

2. Oatmeal & Shea Butter Naturally Soothing Lotion

You look familiar, do you have a brother?

Why I love it:
Obviously I'm a fan of this scent. Like many girls I have quite a collection of lotions, but this one is my favorite for reasons besides the aroma. It isn't too thin, or too thick. It dries quickly. It doesn't leave an oily residue. That's it. Plain and simple it does what a lotion should. It moisturizes and it smells great! I use this after every single shower, on every part of my body. It is a mild enough scent that it doesn't overpower perfumes either, which is very nice. 

3. Naturally Clear Green Tea Scrub

Hey Good Lookin!

Why I love it:
If your skin is anything like mine, most types of scrubs seem to do more harm than damage (especially if you're working on a budget). For instance, I love the good old Apricot Scrub, which is also a St. Ive's product, but it is much too harsh to use on any kind of regular basis. This scrub is different. The actual scrubbing granules are very small, and thus not as harsh. Meanwhile, this scrub includes a small amount of acne medication, but not enough to burn your face and (at least in my case) turn it red. I use this scrub almost every time I shower, and leave it on for a little while before rinsing. My skin is never irritated by it or excessively dried out afterward. And of course, it smells very nice too!

So if your skin has issues with dryness or you just want to try something new, I suggest giving these products a shot. They're a great value for the price, and in my experience they work terrifically.

Thanks for reading!
