A few months back Uriage held a small event inviting beauty bloggers to try out their new range. Unfortunately I was otherwise engaged that day and wasn’t able to make it, so it came as quite a surprised to see a package from Uriage show up, containing both this exfoliator and body cream. Today I will be focusing on the exfoliator.
I was very excited when I first received this because at the time I had just finished the last body exfoliator I owned and was looking for something new! This seemed perfect~
The formula is a blue consistency (winning on colour here!) with tiny little granules and a few larger white grains.
I started by applying this in the shower on my skin and realised, nope. I like a good scrub and this almost felt like body wash to me. Far too gentle. However after doing some investigating I discovered that this needs to be applied dry on the body and wet for the face. Ah! That made a lot more sense and definitely works a treat once you adopt that technique.
For the face I enjoy using it along with my Clarisonic if I’ve been wearing very heavy makeup that day (completely psychological thing), otherwise most days (I’ll exfoliate maybe twice a week) with my fingers is good enough. It’s a very gentle exfoliator and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth after.
This is a great formula for sensitive skin as it doesn’t contain any harsh chemicals other exfoliators may contain.
If you’re interested, you can purchase it for $39.95AUD at Adorebeauty.
