Summer is here and it is time to get your skin polished. I have been trying Beauty & Truth’s Illuminating Scrub lately and really have enjoyed it. Exfoliating has always been very important to me. I love knowing that my skin looks fresh and new vs old and tired. There are lots of benefits to exfoliation: clearing out pores, fading wrinkles and fine lines, and cell renewel. Your skin will achieve a more plump youthful glow.
First thing I want to address about the Illuminating Scrub is this great packaging. Simple, black and white, but oh so chic. Also… I love damask (if you can’t tell from my background), so the label is super pretty to me!
As the packaging says, this is a super-fine microdermabrasion exfoliating scrub. When I say super-fine I am not joking. Have you ever stepped foot onto one of those white sand beaches, and while you are walking you notice that the sand feels like silk because each grain is sooo tiny? That is what comes to mind when I rub this product between my fingers. Don’t get me wrong… it is a physical exfoliator and it will not feel like silk being rubbed on your face, but the tiny exfoliating particles in it are seriously minute.
This is one beauty of a jar, right? I LOVE the way it looks sitting with my other skincare products. It is a thing of beauty. The packaging seems to be twice as large as it needs to be but I am not complaining. It is really pretty. Also it is solid, the cap screws on securely. I wouldn’t worry about throwing this in my luggage or weekend bag, definitely not going to spill or leak.
I love the duality of this product: it sloughs away the dead skin, then the rich creme that the exfoliating particles sit in is able to absorb into the freshly uncovered skin. It is a beautiful thing. I love killing 2 birds with one stone.
In the “swatch” below you can see the dot and then it blended out. You can’t see any actually scrubby bits, all you can see is creme.
Here is some info from the brand:
“Key Ingredients:
Citrus extract: Natural exfoliant, aids in cell-turnover and renewal.
Green Tea Extract (camellia sinensis): Antioxidant and anti-irritant to protect against environmental attack and soothe the skin.
Pumice: Natural stone sourced from volcanic rock, used remove dead skin cells and encourage skin regeneration.
Sugar Cane Extract: Naturally-sourced moisturizer.
Suggested Use:
This super-fine exfoliant lifts off dead skin cells and diminishes fine lines to reveal newer, brighter skin. Using the fingertips, massage onto make-up free skin with a circular motion, avoiding immediate eye area. Rinse away. Apply 2 times a week to achieve maximum glow.”
Results:
I have been using this twice a week for 3-4 weeks and I can see a difference in the size of my pores and overall behavior of my skin. The pores are obviously still there but they do seem less noticeable. I have had minimal breakouts since starting to use this due to my pores getting cleared out. I do have fine lines that have been popping up over the last couple years and I think that this actually helped with those as well. So they lived up to their claims. I have nothing but good things to say.
Each jar contains 1.7 fl oz (or 50 ml) of product and it retails for $55. The product goes a long way so very little is needed each time you use it. I also want to mention that they honor a 100% guarantee within 30 days of purchase. I love to hear that from companies!
