Zenutrients Luxurious Goat's Milk and Oatmeal Body Scrub

Hey guys!

It's a long weekend for me because of the Chinese New Year celebration in the next couple of days. Yayyy! As usual, I will spend some of my free time to pamper my skin (while doing some chores LOL). One of the things I do is to exfoliate twice a week to get rid of dry, flaky skin, dead skin cells, and dirt. It also helps in making things easier when it comes to taking care of those nasty ingrown hairs I get because of waxing.

I've used many scrubs now and the one I'm currently using is...

Zenutrients Luxurious Goat's Milk and Oatmeal Body Scrub
PhP 234.00
This one is 100g. It also comes in a 300g which costs PhP 390.00

It's housed in this simple clear tub. You get a glimpse on the color and the scrubs. I already have a clue on the creaminess as well as how the scrubs would feel on my skin. 
As a person who graduated from Fine Arts and Design in college, I have to comment that the design isn't really that... appealing to me. I expected more from Zenutrients since it has been around for a while and has been expanding their physical as well as online stores around the country. But I guess if they are getting enough sales, then why spend more? Haha! Anyway, I just like seeing pretty stuff. :P

At the side of the tub you'll see the labels containing important infos like manufacturing and expiration dates, ingredients lists, and the instructions on how to use.

Here's the info from the website:
Indulge skin with this lactose, vitamin A, B12 and D treat.

That info is pretty short so here's more from BeautyMNL's site:

CLAIM TO FAME: A deliciously indulgent formula blended with gentle exfoliators that smooth and soothe dry or flaky skin

FAST FACTS: Certified organic formula; packed with crushed oats and creamy goat’s milk; filled with vitamins A, B12, and D; indulges skin with moisture-rich lactose; leaves skin feeling softer and smoother with regular use

PERFECT FOR: Drought-prone areas like elbows and knees


How to Use: Apply to damp skin while in the shower. Rinse thoroughly. Can be used two to three times a week. Use only one drop for exfoliating the face once a week.

About the Brand: Don’t panic, it’s organic! All-natural, non-allergenic, and of premium quality — that’s what Zenutrients promises with every product. What started in 2007 as a way to create skincare items that addressed the needs of people with allergies and sensitive skin has now become a well-loved brand with a line of delectably pure products for your every need. Each of their offerings is specifically handcrafted to be nothing but good to your skin — so you won’t need to do anything but use them knowing that your skin is in the best of hands.


As stated in the "How to" part, I use this twice a week. I usually apply it on my elbows, knees, and legs. I don't use it on my face as I have a different product for that. Although this scrub is good for facial use as recommended on the info, but only once a week.


What made me buy this, aside from the fact that I regularly exfoliate, is that it smells so wonderfully delicious! I love milk products, especially when they smell sweet and creamy and the scent of this one is just that! It makes my bath time a treat!


The apricot scrubs are mild that it won't scratch your skin, but still exfoliates well. I do like my scrubs on the legs a little more gritty though to help free the ingrown hairs when I have them. If you do not suffer from the "ingrown problems" then I'm sure you'll enjoy using this scrub as much as I do.

The creaminess of it also left my skin soft so even though I exfoliated and gotten rid of those extra things like dirt, dry skin, and excess oil, my skin felt soft and smooth.

I like it but I still prefer grittier scrubs. The price is affordable but I know some scrubs that are cheaper but perform pretty much the same. Still, I would recommend this if you're looking for a gentle scrub you can use. I also would recommend it just because of how amazing it smells! Haha! 

Have you tried this product yet? Do you also love the scent? What about its performance?


Cheers,
DAWN

Snoe White Exfoliating Oatmeal Scrub and Beauty Bar

Hey loves!

Tonight I will share with you a double review once again but from the same brand - Snoe Beauty! I've been loving some of their skin care line that's why I'm willing to try out more products from them...

The products I'll be sharing my thoughts on are items I bought some months ago. They were together in a promo (only bought both for Php 388.00) which saved me around Php100.00... Nice deal, eh?

Snoe White Exfoliating Oatmeal Beauty Bar and Snoe White Exfoliating Oatmeal & Milk Whitening Scrub


Let's go over the Beauty bar first...

Snoe White Exfoliating Oatmeal Beauty Bar

A bar is around P139.00 each.


Some info from the website:


With real oatmeal grains for gentle and effective exfoliation
  • Relieves dryness, restoring skin’s natural balance
  • Helps to soothe skin irritation and reduce discomfort from skin problems
  • Mild, exfoliating soap with whitening action that rejuvenates and softens the skin
Active Ingredients: Oatmeal, Goats Milk, Jojoba Oil, Papain, Vitamin C and E , High Grade Coconut Oil

This bar was recommended to me by the SA since I was looking for a beauty bar that mildly exfoliates. And true enough, it does take care of removing my dead skin cells and reveals a brighter and smoother skin. Although it is exfoliating, it never made my skin dry and it always leave my skin feeling soft and smelling like sweet milky oatmeal. Yum!

Besides doing it's job so effectively, it never gave me any skin irritations. Most probably because it's mostly organic. You will also see some bits of oatmeal in the bar that helps with further exfoliation!



This soap lathers up well. Very foamy which I really like since I feel cleaner when I wash it off. It's probably just psychologic but I just feel like it washes the dirt off my body when it's foamier. Haha! But just like most organic soaps, this bar melts faster. A tip from Liz is that you cut the soap in half or in 3 equal parts so that it will last longer.



Since this sort of does some sort of mild peeling, you should always remember to use sunscreen... well, even if you don't use this, you should always wear sunscreen. :P



And now, the Oatmeal Scrub...


Snoe White Exfoliating Oatmeal & Milk Whitening Scrub

Some info from the website:


Oatmeal
  • Relieves dryness, restoring natural moisture balance to aid in healing minor irritations.
  • Gently removes dead skin cells, to reveal softer, smoother looking skin.
Milk
  • Rich in vitamins A, D, and E.
  • Aids in strengthening skin’s resistance to harsh elements.
  • Combats dehydrated skin while exfoliating outer layers of the epidermis.
The ultimate opulent bathing indulgence. It dates back to Cleopatra, who used milk for its rich texture and moisturizing qualities. Snoe White’s Exfoliating Oatmeal & Milk Whitening Scrub uses real milk in the formulations to carry milk’s intrinsic benefits forward.
A delicious way to exfoliate, it is sure to feed your hunger for beautiful whiter skin. Pleasure your body with this appetizing body scrub fortified with Oatmeal that is guaranteed to bring out your inner radiance and polished glow.

How to Use:

Apply gently to wet skin in circular motion. Leave on for 3 minutes, and then rinse off with water.

Warnings:

For external use only. Discontinue use if signs of irritation occur. Do not use on wounds or broken skin. If eye contact occurs, wash with water immediately. Do not swallow product. Keep out of reach of children.

Ingredients:

  • Sea Salt, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Carboxymethyl Cellulose, Nonfat Dry Milk, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Meal, JuglansRegia( Walnut) Shell Powder, Cerica Papaya Extract, Fragrance, Citrus Microcarpa (Calamansi Extract), Goat Milk Powder, Yellow 5, Yellow 6



The bottle is sold for Php 349.00 each.

As you can see on the labels (and all products from the brand), you have a complete set of info from product description to ingredients and warnings, even the manufacturing and expiration dates and Batch Code Number!

I use this twice a week usually at my back area and once a week at the rest of my body. It helps exfoliate further my skin. You're probably wondering why I need so much exfoliation... it's because I have so much dark marks from acne at the back area (Curse my acne-prone skin!!!) and the combination of both really made these marks lessen- these products really brighten them!



I use this while I take my shower/bath. I massage it on wet skin gently. The scrubs are gritty and just enough to exfoliate the right amount of dead skin. I like my scrubs gritty but not too rough which can be harsh to the skin. I'm not much of a fan of the scent of this one. When you rinse it off, the skin is so soft and smooth! I feel so young!


And for the scent... I guess, though I like the milk scents, it's just too salty smelling for my taste. :P

And before I forget, I love the packaging! This is for both products. I just love the design and the materials used for Snoe products. It's comparable with products from abroad! I'm a fan of whoever designs them! :)

So that's it for this double review. Obviously, I like these products a lot and they really go hand-in-hand! I'll definitely purchase these again but probably try other scents first. Haha!

Have you tried these products yet? What are your thoughts on them? 


Cheers!
