I can still remember using my Mom’s St. Ives Apricot Scrub back in high school and that was the first facial scrub that I used. It was then that I realized in later years that using facial scrubs may indeed help in keeping my skin soft and revitalized.

St. Ives offers a line of body wash and body moisturizers (body lotions) for every skin type. It is a must to moisturize after bathing to eliminate dry and flaky skin. And these St. Ives skin care products are formulated without parabens and phtalates. Parabens are preservatives currently used in cosmetics. It includes methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and isobutylparaben. Phthalates is a large group of chemical compounds used in the production of plastics, household articles, packages, cosmetics and plant pesticides. Diethyl Phthalate is an example.

Apricot is high in Vitamin A, thus helps in the removal of skin pimples and other skin disorders. This Exfoliating Apricot Body Wash gently lifts dead skin cells to reveal a new layer of healthy skin.
