Kiehl's Face Scrub

I have always been a little wary of using scrubs as I had a bad experience with a rough scrub that left my skin feeling raw instead of cleansed. However, lots of beauty experts recommend using scrubs regularly to cleanse your pores and exfoliate dead skin cells for that glowy look. Recently, armed with some samples of Kiehl’s fruit scrubs, I decided to give scrubbing another try. Read below for my review of the Kiehl’s Pineapple Papaya Facial Scrub.

Kiehl’s Facial Scrubs Are Made with Real Fruit

I love fruit and it is nice to know that Kiehl’s makes their facial scrub with real fruit. Pineapple and papaya have always been known for their powerful enzymes to naturally and gently exfoliate skin to leave your skin feeling refreshed, soft and clean. The main ingredients in the Kiehl’s Pineapple Papaya Facial Scrub is bromelain and papain, both of which are found in pineapple and papaya respectively. Bromelain is a protein in pineapple used to break down dead surface skin cells whilst papain gently exfoliates through its protein digesting properties. It sounds scary but trust me its no flesh-eating bug! :) It’s just a natural and gentle exfoliator!

How To Use Kiehl’s Pineapple Papaya Facial Scrub

I use the scrub with damp hands on a wet face. Squeeze a small bit on to my fingers and gently rub all over the face upwards, avoiding the eye area. The packet said that it can be left on for an additional minute or two for maximum exfoliating effects but I usually wash it off almost immediately. I then follow up with my toner and moisturiser as usual.

Effectiveness of Kiehl’s Pineapple Papaya Facial Scrub

Perhaps due to its use of natural fruit, I found the scrub quite gentle on my skin instead of feeling like I was sandpapering my skin! The scrub had a light fruity scent that was pleasant and left my face feeling refreshed. I used the scrub twice a week and was pleased to note that my skin felt cleaner and clearer with fewer blocked pores.

Kiehl’s Facial scrub is suitable for all skin types with the exception of acne-prone skin and very sensitive or irritated skin. Visit their stores at Midvalley or 1 Utama to find out more or to try a sample.
