Review - Burt's Bees Citrus Facial Scrub (and *mini* night routine)

Holllaaa…


First and foremost,
Why on earth I want to post this? Because I cannot find a proper Review about this product, especially in Indonesia. So yeah, here we go. Review for Citrus Facial Scrub by Burt's Bees.

Meanwhile, Burt's Bees is an American Brand. They are a skin care line, famous for their Lip Care Product (e.g Beeswax Lipbalm), you can go here for Burt's Bees Official Website.
Anyway, as you know that I am a youtube fanboy. No, not literally a fanboy but I do have some specific interest related to Youtube Beauty Gurus. I always (yes I said always) try to buy and search for the products they're using.
For example, this baby, Burt's Bees Citrus Facial Scrub. I saw this product on one of Kandee Johnson's video about Night Routine. Kandee somehow presented it so well, I trusted her! :D
She mentioned about scrub that she's using almost everyday. She claimed that it's so soft and not harsh to be used on a daily basis. So, when comes the time I have an opportunity to order this from US (and give it to my friend whilst he's back there), I bought this on Amazon and have it immediately when my friend is back.


They have a very simple packaging. They don't provide us super cute and colorful box. They provide us just a yellow box with a very brief description about what Burt's Bees Citrus Facial Scrub is, they tell us about how to use it, and also a very believable ingredients list with a huge impact of: 99,96% Natural. Now the question is: Is this baby working like they claimed?

A glass jar of Burt's Bees

It should be full jar, but I used it and never posted :P

A granular and fragrant scrubs (like a pumpkin spice pie or cinnamon!).

 Yeah so, after we saw how it looks like, let's try this one on! Since they claimed they are safe enough to be used as daily basis, I do use it as daily basis. Well, not that daily, but I use it around 2-3 times a week. This is me, I just got home from work with a bunch of junk in my face :D

me, with junk on my face

 Now, I splash my face with water and use a small amount of Burt's Bees Citrus Facial Scrub (I'll call it CFS now, just my own abbreviation). Yes, it looks very harsh, but trust me, it's not. It's like using literally Pumpkin Pie Crust on your face, it feels harsh at the first time, then melted once it contacts water. So, as you can see, this is just the beginning.

1. splash your face with water, add CFS

2. Scrubs it slowly, no need to do it harshly

When you are scrubbing your face (and massaging it maybe), you will smell a very sweet pumpkin pie, or cinnamon. I don't quite sure. haha. But for me, it's quite pleasing.  Also, once you rinsed it off, it will leave your skin soft and super smooth. I swear by this product that your skin will appear brighter, your tone is more even, and your pores appear smaller! Just remember, DON'T SCRUB AROUND EYE AND LIP AREA. But ssstt, I do. I mean, when I scrub my face, I love to add more splash of water to make it more slippery and gooey. Then, I could use the gooey part to massage and clean my eyelid :D It works very well for any waterproof makeup.

3. rinse it off, pat it dry and tada!

Previously I try to find this stuff here in Indonesia, but somewhat I couldn't find it. Until I decided to order on Amazon and send it to my friend. But lately, I found an OL Shop that open PO and have the stocks ready here in Indonesia. I am just not quite sure that I can trust them, so I won't put any information about that for now.

Since I mentioned on title that this will be a night routine post as well, I'd never be boring to let you know that I use my SK-II Facial Treatment Essence after cleansing my face.  Get 2 or 3 drops on your palm and pat it gently on your face and neck. This is a truly holly water for me. Check my review of SK-II Facial Treatment Essence here.

Sigh.. Almost finished product

After using my FTE (another abbreviation :P) I sometimes using The Body Shop Beautifying Oil as my night cream. I am not a big fan of Night Cream. So honestly I am never really searching a very good night cream for me hahha. But trust me, the dry oil (TBS Beautifying Oil) really makes my skin plumps in the next morning. I should do a separate review for that.

So, yeah, that's my post about the Burt's Bees Citrus Facial Scrub. I hope this one helps! :D
