Blueberry Siberica Anti-Ox Wild Blueberry Renewing Jam Face Scrub Sample Review RRP £10

 

As if the cold weather isn't hard enough (especially without any heating on), our skin also has to sacrifice it's condition, thanks to environmental aggressors (harsh wind, blasting heating vents in the car) etc. So you shouldn't be surprised if your skin is starting to look a little dull, dehydrated, grey and lacks that gentle glow, that we often regain in spring time. 

Thankfully, all it takes is a little TLC and ramp up of skincare to give skin back it's lustral radiance, and this is just one of the reasons why I absolutely love the Anti-Ox Wild Blueberry Renewing Jam Face Scrub. The other reason is that it smells absolutely delicious and should come with a 'do not eat' warning label.

Ingredients are vegan and contain a huge amount of organic actives, to help replenish, smooth and deeply cleanse the skin. Such ingredients are:-

• Butyrospermum Parkii Butter - Shea Butter, nourishing, enriching and full of vitamin A and E, so helps renew the skin.
• Vaccinium Vulcanorum Fruit ExtractWH - aka Blueberry Fruit Extract, not only excellent for nutritional benefits, but on the skin provides excellent antioxidants such as polyphenolics, which help protect the skin from the suns harmful UV rays. They also provide copious amounts of vitamin C, which helps to smooth and give radiance.
• Vaccinium Vitis-Idaea Fruit Extract - Lingonberry, this fruit helps to protect the skin from environmental damage caused by pollution, smoke etc. Skin calming, this fruit is ideal for those who suffer with sensitive skin.
• Ribes Nigrum Leaf Extract - aka Blackcurrant, rich in tannins and a fruit that is anti-inflammatory, so helps with acne and inflammation. 
• Sambucus Nigra Flower ExtractWH - Elderberry, full of vitamins A, B, C and E, helps renew the skin and give a firmer appearance. Ideal for oily skin as well as sensitive and dry skin. 

The consistency is exactly as you would expect for the namesake, like a sugar filled jam. Upon application however, it soon turns into a smoothing emulsion that spreads easily over the face. The sugar granules are small enough to give a good dermabrasion without causing any irritation or redness.

Whilst I didn't test this on my face as I was multi-tasking, the skin on the back of my hand was left feeling soft and smooth. You only need a small amount to give a good exfoliation so the 50ml pot will last a good month or more. You can check out the reviews and other products in this range here at Natura Siberica
