Jovees Papaya and Honey Facial Scrub- Review

Jovees Papaya and Honey Facial Scrub- Review

Hi all b’ful Ulite ladies, I love scrubs. They are my instant pick-me-ups. In fact, I like them better than face packs, because they are faster. Scubs can give you an instant glow and regular use polishes your skin.

I used Everyuth’s Walnut-Apricot scrub for sooooo long that I got bored of the whole idea. I wanted to switch, but almost all other brands had Apricot or Strawberry scrubs. I was dead bored of Apricot and I am not a big fan of Strawberry flavour. So I was just not finding the right scrub.

Then I landed in a store full of Jovees products. I asked for a scrub for dry skin and the SA showed me another Apricot and Almond facial scrub. I was disappointed. Then she showed me this one- The Papaya and Honey facial scrub. I smelled it. It was very different and refreshing. AND it was for Normal to Dry skin. I was super happy just to find a non-apricot and non-strawberry scrub. YAY!!!! You can check out other Jovees scrubs and products here. (http://www.jovees.com/scrubs.htm)

What is “Jovees Papaya and Honey Facial Scrub”??

• Papaya & Honey – Daily use Mud Scrub
• (Normal to dry skin)
• This mud-based scrub is a unique formulation contains Papaya Seeds, Honey, Fenugreek, and Margosa as the key active ingredients that help to discover a new kind of luminosity day after day. This scrub is a deep pore cleanser that wipes away spent surface cells, revealing a smoother, clearer and refined complexion.

How to use?? (From the pack)

Moisten face and neck. Apply all over the face and neck. Massage gently with fingertips for 2-3 minutes using anti-clock and clock wise strokes. Leave on for five minutes. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Follow with Jovees Day Cream.

The first time I used this, I used it like any other scrub. I moistened my face, scrubbed and washed. My skin was instantly soft and smooth. Then, I read the pack info. The next day, I scrubbed and left it on for 5 minutes. The difference it made was startling. My skin was sooooo soft and smooth; that I, perhaps the person with the driest skin, did not apply moisturizer on top. I sprayed rose water (mine also has glycerin) and I was done. Looking fresh and glowing!!!

Here is what I loved about Jovees Papaya and Honey Facial Scrub–

• As mentioned above, it does not have those typical scrub ingredients.
• I like the packaging. The tube is fresh lime green coloured. Though it is not citrusy at all.

• Papaya and honey are natural emollients.
• When I leave it on after scrubbing, the creamy formula somehow, gets absorbed into my skin, moisturizing from within.
• Many scrubs I have used before have dried my skin further.
• It contains papaya seeds as the scrubbing particles. Although they are abrasive enough to make a good scrub, they do not scrape my skin.

• I can and am using it daily. It just makes my skin softer and softer.
• It smells very different. It’s neither like Papaya nor honey. The fragrance is mild and refreshing.
• It is priced decently. Rs. 155/- for 100g.
• The shelf life is 3 yrs. Although I am gonna use it up much faster.
• It lasts really long. I am using it for over 6 weeks and the tube has enough product to last me 2 more weeks.
• I can actually see a glow on my face after using this.

I don’t dislike anything about this product. It is just perfect. I am gonna buy it again and again till of course I get bored. Then I may shift to their Almond and Apricot Scrub.

Jovees also makes some great face packs. I am using their 30+ youth pack and it is quite good. Maybe I’ll review it later.

All in all; it is a good product and has become my go-to, whenever I have a skin trouble. It is also quite efficient in removing face makeup.

My rating: :-* :-*:-*:-*
