The other day I received a huge package from Amazon with various things I'd ordered to replenish my makeup collection. Among them were also these two facial products:
L'Oreal Paris Go 360 Clean Deep Exfoliating Scrub, $4.97 at Amazon
Organic Dead Sea Milk Moisturizer, $5.95 at Amazon
I honestly ordered these two because they were some of the cheapest I could find with Super Saver Shipping on Amazon that had decent reviews. I thought I'd give them a chance.
First I used the L'Oreal Paris scrub during my shower. It conveniently comes with a little scrubby pad that attaches to the bottle by sticking through the middle. It's super cute but I really didn't like the pad that much. It feels like a squishy jelly pad and when using it to clean my face it just didn't feel like it was doing the job. I washed my face twice with the scrub to feel really clean. I think I would prefer to use a mesh shower pouf or even a wash cloth. That might just be preference on my part, though, because I like the slightly abrasive feeling that I'm digging deep into my skin to get all the gunk out. When I wash my face, I always run hot water (but not too hot!) over my face first so I feel like I'm opening all my pores. Then I wash my face thoroughly, and when I get out of the shower I cool my face down with a cold wash cloth to make the pores smaller.
After I had dried off some more I put on the Organic Dead Sea milk moisturizer. The cool thing I liked about this (because I am easily amused) is that it wasn't heavy or thick like most moisturizers. Actually it splashed around in the bottle like baby formula. I only had to use a little bit to cover my face, and hours later, as I'm writing this, I keep touching my face because it's just soooo smooth. I've bought some Dead Sea products before, when their kiosks pop up sporadically around my local mall I often buy their shimmery mica loose eyeshadow pots that were just so beautiful but also unfortunately lost with the rest of my cosmetics last October. I also had lost a blush that lasted me 2+ years and still had plenty of powder left. I can say I've never been disappointed by any of their products. The employee's service, a little, but not the products themselves.
I'd say this is another win for Dead Sea Ltd. I think I'm going to use this a lot more often now, unless I somehow start breaking out badly from it. As for the L'Oreal Paris exfoliating scrub, I did like how tight and clean my skin felt afterwards, but from now on I will probably forgo the included scrubby pad for a shower pouf or something similar.
