My thoughts

St Ives is one of my favorite skincare products any time of year, but I can definitely see how it could it handy for Halloween. The apricot scrub is great for removing regular makeup so its gentle but tough formula would also be great for more complicated jobs. I just tried out the apricot scrub and not only does it smell wonderful, it leaves skin soft and touchable.  You can really feel it going to work and exfoliating as  soon as you rub it in. It not only removes makeup but dry skin. Whenever I use St Ives I see a remarkable decrease in whiteheads and blackheads. This scrub is perfect for both adults and teens. Most importantly, its made from natural ingredients.

In addition to the scrub, I also tried the Intensive Healing Lotion and this is a great choice for the winter and fall season.  As soon as we start running the heat, my skin gets dried out. This lotion restores health to dry and cracked skin, leaving it soft and healthy. The formula glides on smooth with no greasy residue and it smells wonderful, fresh and light without being overpowering. This lotion will definitely get your through the winter and its an affordable option.
