Fresh Sugar Face Polish Wrap-Up
So most of you know that I’ve been conducting an unintentionally long-running Fresh Series where I test a number of products by Fresh.
My first test product was the Sugar Face Polish, which I’ve been using on-and-off due to some breakouts.
After having resumed use of the product again this past weekend, I’ve concluded that I cannot use it. My skin started looking red and irritated the day after I used the scrub. The following day, a couple pimples had erupted to the surface. Ugh.
This is extremely unfortunate as I do think the product is a great exfoliator (not too rough) and also wonderfully hydrating. I did like it the first time I tried it. Until my skin started rebelling.
I would say that if you have normal, non-wacked-out skin (unlike mine), then you should go for this product. Especially since it seems to have a devoted following. But my skin isn’t just sensitive, it’s ultra sensitive. (God bless companies like Jurlique for understanding that there are two different breeds.) Unfortunately, this product just wasn’t something I could use.

I found that the sugar scrub for the body was to harsh for me.

HI Christina, I sampled this too, and felt like it left a film on my face. I wasn’t impressed. There’s so many great exfoliators out there, this one just didn’t compare in my book

I’ve really enjoyed your FRESH series. I live in Boston, not too far from the FRESH store on Newbury. I’m going to drop in and see if I can grab some samples too - I’d like to try their apple resurfacing kit.

Thanks Beauty Bug - it’s felt a bit truncated with my skin issues and reactions, but hopefully you got something out of it!
Once my skin calms down, I’d like to try some of the other Fresh products that I have samples for.
I will keep everyone updated!!
