We are all familiar with the St. Ives brand and have probably used it at one time or another. For me, I have used the apricot scrub for years and love the way it gives my face that clean feeling. With a little effort it even helps to eliminate the appearance of those stubborn blackheads around my nose. On one of my many trips to the Walgreens in search of yet another product to try for my new hair regimen I stumble across some new St. Ives products and also noticed that they have a new look (which I like!).
The first thing that I found was the Oatmeal and Shea Butter Body Wash. Anything that has the word Shea in it is an instant magnet for me. Lately I have been using shea butter in everything (un-refined of course) and it has helped with the dryness of my skin as well as with my hair. Anyway I grabbed a bottle of the body wash and must say that despite the $8 price tag, it has been three months now and I have not missed my dove essential moisture body wash at all. The smell of the Oatmeal and Shea Butter body wash is great, it is a smell that attracts, not repels. For a person like me with dry and itchy skin, it gives me just the right amount of moisture and keeps my skin soft.
The second thing that I found and I must say I really like is the Oatmeal Shea Body Polish. I was not sure at first what a body polish was exactly, I soon discovered that it is a gentle exfoliating scrub that leaves my skin clean, soft and radiant. At first I was addicted and used the Body Polish daily, but with a price tag close to $7 I decided that I would use it twice a week. The body polish add some extra moisture to the mix when you use it with your Oatmeal and Shea Butter body wash. The lather that you get from it makes you feel great and the smell is wonderful.
A lot of ladies have been putting the focus on sulfate-free products and I can understand the reasoning behind it. However I have yet to find something without sulfates that makes my skin feel as soft as this, also leaving me with moisture during the day. The Oatmeal and Shea Butter combinations are not the only ones that St. Ives is offering. You can also try these combinations to see which one you like best:
