I know you like to scrub, but seriously, stop it.
Also, apologize profusely to your skin. "Naturally" lying to your face about all of its "natural" ingredients. This is one of my biggest 'pet peeve' products to hear my clients are using. Always they're complaining of breakouts, and they think that this can "scrub away" their acne. (A big no, no!) Some of them are using scrubs like these twice a day. How often you should exfoliate depends on your skin, but I very rarely advise exfoliation more than 4 times a week.
**The ingredients, almost all of which are irritating or clog pores. But the worst ingredient in St. Ives is Walnut Shell powder, which is what gives you that "gritty" feeling.
~WALNUT SHELL POWDER~ Creates "Microscopic tears" in the top layer of the skin. This allows surface bacteria enter into deeper layers of the skin. The action of scrubbing the skin also causes inflammation, especially in this type of client, who believes the more you scrub the better. your skin will be. The creates raw, red, open skin, increasing future inflammation. When pores are inflamed, they swell, closing the top of the pore in a balloon shape instead of a cylinder, trapping p. acnes bacteria in the pore, giving it an oxygen free environment, where it flourishes, causing even more inflammation and creating a battle ground for white blood cells to fight off invaders, resulting in more breakouts. Scrubbing is the worst type of cleanse you can do to acne other than pouring Comet Cleanser on your face. The fact that this product is targeted towards acne sufferers is simply unbelievable.
