Product Review: Beautiful One Cosmetics Chocolate Strawberry Face Scrub

Antioxidant Facial Scrub for Dry Skin

Nina Rotz
With spring approaching, I look forward to going out and being more active. This means that more people will have a chance to see me, and I do not want them to see dry skin on my face. I do not have acne-prone skin, but it does happen to be very sensitive. This means that I cannot use every facial scrub on the market. I had the pleasure of trying Beautiful One Cosmetics body products before. I decided to try out their Chocolate Strawberry Face Scrub, to see if I would have the same positive experience with a facial beauty product. Lucky for me, the scrub I tried out worked very well on my dry face, and is now a part of my daily beauty routine.

Dry and sensitive skin is a serious annoyance to live with. My sensitive skin does not react well to all beauty products, and I have an allergy to lavender oils and extracts. Combined, this makes it difficult for me to manage or get rid of winter dry skin. Some commercial products label ingredients as only "a blend of essential oils," without disclosing them individually. This does not make me happy, as I find out that lavender is blended with other oils only after my skin reacts to it.

Chocolate Strawberry Face Scrub Review: Availability
Beautiful One Cosmetics products are available online, through the company website Beautifulonecosmetics.com. My placed orders processed securely through Paypal and shipped quickly. Their beauty products are fresh and created after an order has been placed. I always found this to be a neat business practice, but the Chocolate Strawberry Face Scrub is homemade by blending natural ingredients.

Chocolate Strawberry Face Scrub Review: The Ingredients
I fell in love with Beautiful One Cosmetics products because of all natural and organic ingredients. The label is simple and easy to read thanks to natural products such as sugar, strawberries, cocoa powder, olive oil, Jojoba oil and grape seed oil. There are no harsh or impossible to pronounce chemicals, just the simple goodness of nature.

The scrub is rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants have many beauty benefits, including: helping to fight free radical absorption, rebuild skin and helping to heal dry skin. According to the company website, cocoa powder has nearly twice the antioxidants of red wine. Strawberries are also high in antioxidants.

All the natural ingredients such as cocoa powder and strawberries give this product a rich color. It smells and looks like melted chocolate.

Chocolate Strawberry Face Scrub Review: The Results
I believe a great beauty product speaks for itself. Beautiful One Cosmetics face scrub produced good results on my skin in terms of cleansing, toning, buffing, polishing and moisturizing. I intended to continue my daily facial cleanser and adding the face scrub once a week to my beauty regimen. After two weeks of satisfying results, I started replaced my daily facial cleanser with Beautiful One Cosmetics Chocolate Strawberry Face Scrub. The product is gentle enough on my sensitive skin, which is why I use it daily.

I should clarify that the product is not rough in texture or on my skin. I can feel sugar crystals on my fingertips and as they work to buff my skin. However, the amount of sugar crystals is nowhere close to what other facial scrubs contain, so it feels gentle enough for frequent use.

My face feels polished and glowing after each use. I can feel the oils in Beautiful One Cosmetics Chocolate Strawberry Face Scrub as I rub my face. The scrub does not feel oily or heavy; it is actually smooth and light to the touch. After rinsing and patting my face dry, the skin feels moisturized and hydrated. I noticed that the oils soak into my skin well enough to act as a moisturizer, so that I do not have to apply any additional products immediately after. I do follow up with a moisturizer right before bedtime, just to make sure my skin is not dry in the morning.

My face feels toned and firm after each use, which could be from the antioxidants. I look forward to the benefits from antioxidants, especially since I plan to use the scrub long-term.

Chocolate Strawberry Face Scrub Review: Product Recommendations
Beautiful One Cosmetics Chocolate Strawberry Face Scrub comes with a facial massage pad. The pad worked well when I would wash my face at the bathroom sink. As I am a creature of convenience, I placed the scrub container in the bathtub and used it while showering. I would just use my fingertips then, which is how I prefer to continue washing my face.

I would recommend that consumers use the scrub in the shower. Since the color of the scrub is dark, staining is possible while standing at the sink. Using the scrub in the shower eliminates the possibility of staining your clothes, and the entire residue washes away. I never noticed any staining while patting my face dry with a towel, the scrub washes off very well.

Beautiful One Cosmetics Chocolate Strawberry Face Scrub is a great value at an affordable price: it costs less than $9 for a 4 oz. jar. I found their other products to last a while, as a small amount is enough to get the job done.

I have become a faithful follower and lover of Beautiful One Cosmetics all natural and organic beauty products. Beautiful One Cosmetics Chocolate Strawberry Face Scrub smells like a delicious bar of chocolate. The smell is divine, especially to a chocoholic such as me. Overall, a great scrub with natural ingredients and satisfactory results for my sensitive skin. I would rate this product 5/5.
