When I received these L’Oreal Smooth Sugars scrubs, I was very excited because one of my guilty pleasures is using a great facial scrub. I know facial scrubs are either loved or hated. I get that scrubs almost create tears in the skin, so they can be harmful when used too often, or too vigorously. However, personally I have not had issues with scrubs in the past.

L’Oreal Smooth Sugars NOURISH SCRUB
The L’Oreal Smooth Sugars Nourish Scrub is made from 3 naturally derived sugars (brown, blonde & white), with finely crushed Cocoa, luxurious coconut oil and rich cocoa butter. This buttery-soft scrub is rich in minerals, & simply melts into the skin. The ingredients each play a part in the skin looking & feeling great after use. The cocoa grains remove dead skin cells so the skin is left feeling smooth. Cocoa butter is rich in fatty acids which moisturise & soothe dryness.

HOW TO: Apply the scrub to clean, dry skin. Add warm water & gently massage the scrub into your face in circular motions (avoiding the eye area). You may use the scrub over your lips if you wish. Once the sugars have melted, you may rinse. It is recommended you use up to 3 times a week.
WHAT I THINK…
I used these L’Oreal Smooth Sugars scrubs over the course of a few weeks. I tried each scrub 2-4 times, depending on what I thought after my initial use. I used the L’Oreal Smooth Sugars Clearing Scrub on 2 occasions. I loved the gel-like consistency, however I didn’t feel like I saw much of a difference in terms of blackheads (on my nose especially). L’Oreal Smooth Sugars Nourish Scrub was by far my favourite scrub of the bunch. I love how smooth & moisturised my skin feels after using this one. It also smells so amazing. The L’Oreal Smooth Sugars Glow Scrub visibly improves dullness & leaves the skin looking much brighter. When I use these scrubs, I like to leave them on for a few minutes while I do something else. And then I wash the product off with warm water. I would not suggest using a scrub 3 times a week. That can easily create a mess for your skin. You don’t want to unintentionally do damage to your skin. Overall, I like them & will definitely continue to use them. If you’ve tried any of these, let me know what you think, & which is your favourite.
I filmed a cute little video for my Instagram. I would NOT recommend using more than one scrub at a time, because you will butcher your skin. The video was just an illustration.
