Exfoliation is an important part of skin care for both the face and body. Face and body scrubs have been part of my skin care regimen ever since and I always make sure that I scrub them once or twice a week. Exfoliation helps in removing dead skin cells and make our creams, lotions, serums and other skin care products more effective because it will be absorbed more. I presume that many of us have tried St. Ives Apricot Scrub. I used it before but I find the scrub a bit harsh for my skin. If you're a long time reader of this blog prolly you know that my HG facial mask as of the moment is Purederm Dual-Well Being Pack. It's not a scrub but a peeling gel that comes with a face mask.
Since most of the skin care products that I use now contains natural ingredients, methinks it's time to look for a natural facial scrub that works! Good thing my sister won in a giveaway where she got a loot of Human Heart Nature skin products. She gave me this facial scrub weeks ago. So after two weeks of using this scrub (twice a week) here's my honest to goodness review. This product is a keeper and an addition to my growing organic skin care products as well.

Human Heart Nature Purifying Facial Scrub
Face the year with a fresh start! Our all-new, all-natural facial scrub has real strawberry seeds and fine bamboo granules to gently scrub away dirt, oil, dull-looking skin cells as well as last year's bad habits. So you can start the year with a softer, smoother, brighter complexion and with a new year's resolution to purify your skin two to three times a week for a fresh, pure clean without that tight, dry feeling!

What I like:
- It's organic!
- A little amount of product goes a long way.
- Affordable.
- Comes in a convenient tube that's easy to use.
- The strawberry scent is addicting.
- Gentle yet effective in removing blackheads.
- Doesn't dry out my skin.
- My skin feels smooth and supple after use.
- No irritation, breakouts or whatsoever.

- Manufacturing, batch and expiry date printed on the packaging.
What I don't like:
- Not readily available, I hope Human Heart Nature will bring it to leading department stores and groceries nationwide.
Will I repurchase? Yes, this product is back-up worthy.
Recommendation:
I give this a 4.75/5 rating. As much as I wanted to give this product a perfect rating, methinks will just reserve it since this is my first organic facial scrub. I will not rave too much about it because I also want to give other organic face scrubs in the market a try. BUT this facial scrub performs well and stays true to it's promise! I also love that my face feels squeaky clean without the drying and tight feeling after using this scrub.
Do you use facial scrub every week? Share your experience dearies!
Good Times!~

yun nga the reason why I haven't tried any Human Nature product kasi they are not that easily accessible to me~ I really hope they bring their products to Watson's or at least some supermarkets para naman matry ko din ^_~
ReplyDelete@Janet- diba?hassle din kasi to travel just to buy an item or two. Dibale kung mag hoard ka. I hope talaga magkaron na kahit sa Watson's :)
ReplyDeleteI just saw a Human Nature stand inside Shopwise.. though Im not sure if all their branches have one. :)
ReplyDeleteNow super interested na talaga ako sa Human Nature. Ive only tried their hand sanitizer, what a shame! Ill have to try their skin care line naman!
ReplyDeleteyou can buy it po sa mga robinsons supermarket. and yung iba sa beauty bar. pero selected items lang po meron sila eh. much better kung makahanap kayo na dealer near you. ^_^
ReplyDeleteWow! I was wondering if this one is worth a try and thanks for your review, i think i'll buy one as soon as my current facial scrub runs out! I love strawberry scented skin products! ♥
ReplyDelete@kmmyp- Hi there! Shopwise ins't readily accessible to my place. I'm from Novaliches pa.
ReplyDelete@Sharina- Go dear, lots of good buys sa skin care line nila :D
@Anonymous- Wala din ako makita sa Robinson's Novaliches and the dealer near my place sells limited products lang. The nearest one is the Human Heart Nature store talaga but malayo pa din sa place ko :(
@Dawn- yup it's worth the buy sis! Try it and let me know if you like it too :)
ReplyDeleteDi ba it's nice? :) Still haven't posted my review pa. Hahahaha but I like it as well :)
ReplyDelete@Aya- yup! Thanks din kasi nakita ko sayo to and good thing ok sa skin ko :)
ReplyDeletethis looks promising nga. the sunflower oil pa lang na-try ko from human nature but this is really inexpensive and looks worth it nga :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice talaga ang Human Nature products. I also want to try other products that they're selling.
ReplyDelete@Francis Falucho- hello there! Yup, aside from being nice nakakatulong din tayo sa mga ibang tao because of their advocacy.
ReplyDelete@Gellie- hello :D Finally na meet na din kita! Yup, this product is nice. I'll wait for Aya's review din kasi sa kanya ako na convince to try this. Pero before Aya, I'm eyeing on this na talaga kaya lang may doubts ako before.
ReplyDeleteHi guys. Sa mga malapit sa Cubao Area, meron pong stand ng Human Nature sa Shopwise Cubao. :)
ReplyDelete@Anonymous- thanks for the information :)
ReplyDeleteI tried two Human <3 Nature products (the Balancing Facial Wash and the Balancing Face Toner - Elemi and Orange). During the first two weeks of regular use (morning and night time), I felt that my skin felt more smooth and velvety. Then after some time, I developed tiny bumps on my forehead (they are not pimples though) so I stopped using both products. That's why I'm a bit skeptic to use another product again. But I love the concept of Human <3 Nature - all natural!
