Adovia Dead Sea Salt Scrub Review

I’m always down for trying new beauty products, so I jumped at the chance to try Adovia’s Dead Sea Salt Scrub.  Up until very recently my idea of skin care was washing my makeup off the next morning and occasionally applying lotion after my shower, so as you can see I wasn’t big on skin care. But I’ve just recently decided now is as good a time as ever to actually take care of skin….turns out I’m kinda stuck with it for the rest of my life!

I went and checked out some Amazon reviews while I was waiting to get this product, and while there was a ton of great feedback, there were a few things that concerned me.  The floral smell and oily texture both made me a little leary to try this, but I try to keep an open mind until I try a product for myself.

There were quite a few mentions about it splashing up when you opened it, so I exercised a little care when I opened it and I didn’t have any problems with that.  The sea salt scrubby stuff does seem to settle at the bottle, leaving a liquidy layer but a lot of products do that and I just mixed it up a little bit.

The floral scent was honestly not nearly as bad I was expecting.  I’m not in love with it, but if the product works well it wouldn’t be enough to deter me from using it.  I decided to give a try on my face as it’s supposed to be a great exfoliator and moisturizer and I need both of those for my face!  Ok, let me just say up front…it is really oily, like really really oily. If there was going to be one thing about this product that kept me from using it, it would be that.  But at the end of the day the important question is: How does it make my skin feel??? Fan-freaking-tastic!!!!  I’m not even kidding you, my face feels so soft I kind of wish you could reach through the screen and touch my face. A lot of face cleaners really dry out the sides of my nose; I’m not sure why but it’s just that one area, that cleaners seem to really dry out so that’s totally how I judge how I like a product.

So, the picture is awful, but I hope you can see right around my nose and it’s not red at all.  In fact, for a no makeup picture I don’t completely hate it. My skin looks healthy and great! So while there are definitely a few things about this product I don’t love, I love what it does for my skin so it definitely gets my seal of approval!

This is the second Adovia product that I have tried and loved, and I can’t wait to see what they come up with next!  I love that they don’t test on animals and are 100% cruelty free.  I also like that this was started by a mom who was simply looking for better, more natural products for herself! Their products are really reasonably priced too.  You can check it out here: http://www.cleopatraschoice.com/adovia-salt-scrub-ocean.html or you can purchase through Amazon here: Adovia Dead Sea Salt Scrub
