Jovees Papaya and Honey Facial Scrub- Review

Jovees Papaya and Honey Facial Scrub- Review

Hi all b’ful IMBB ladies, I love scrubs. They are my instant pick-me-ups. In fact, I like them better than face packs, because they are faster. Scubs can give you an instant glow and regular use polishes your skin.

I used Everyuth’s Walnut-Apricot scrub for sooooo long that I got bored of the whole idea. I wanted to switch, but almost all other brands had Apricot or Strawberry scrubs. I was dead bored of Apricot and I am not a big fan of Strawberry flavour. So I was just not finding the right scrub.

Then I landed in a store full of Jovees products. I asked for a scrub for dry skin and the SA showed me another Apricot and Almond facial scrub. I was disappointed. Then she showed me this one- The Papaya and Honey facial scrub. I smelled it. It was very different and refreshing. AND it was for Normal to Dry skin. I was super happy just to find a non-apricot and non-strawberry scrub. YAY!!!! You can check out other Jovees scrubs and products here. (http://www.jovees.com/scrubs.htm)

What is “Jovees Papaya and Honey Facial Scrub”??

  • Papaya & Honey – Daily use Mud Scrub
  • (Normal to dry skin)
  • This mud-based scrub is a unique formulation contains Papaya Seeds, Honey, Fenugreek, and Margosa as the key active ingredients that help to discover a new kind of luminosity day after day. This scrub is a deep pore cleanser that wipes away spent surface cells, revealing a smoother, clearer and refined complexion.

How to use?? (From the pack)

Moisten face and neck. Apply all over the face and neck. Massage gently with fingertips for 2-3 minutes using anti-clock and clock wise strokes. Leave on for five minutes. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Follow with Jovees Day Cream.

The first time I used this, I used it like any other scrub. I moistened my face, scrubbed and washed. My skin was instantly soft and smooth. Then, I read the pack info. The next day, I scrubbed and left it on for 5 minutes. The difference it made was startling. My skin was sooooo soft and smooth; that I, perhaps the person with the driest skin, did not apply moisturizer on top. I sprayed rose water (mine also has glycerin) and I was done. Looking fresh and glowing!!!

Here is what I loved about Jovees Papaya and Honey Facial Scrub

  • As mentioned above, it does not have those typical scrub ingredients.
  • I like the packaging. The tube is fresh lime green coloured. Though it is not citrusy at all.

Jovees scrub review

  • Papaya and honey are natural emollients.
  • When I leave it on after scrubbing, the creamy formula somehow, gets absorbed into my skin, moisturizing from within.
  • Many scrubs I have used before have dried my skin further.
  • It contains papaya seeds as the scrubbing particles. Although they are abrasive enough to make a good scrub, they do not scrape my skin.

Jovees scrub review

  • I can and am using it daily. It just makes my skin softer and softer.
  • It smells very different. It’s neither like Papaya nor honey. The fragrance is mild and refreshing.
  • It is priced decently. Rs. 155/- for 100g.
  • The shelf life is 3 yrs. Although I am gonna use it up much faster.
  • It lasts really long. I am using it for over 6 weeks and the tube has enough product to last me 2 more weeks.
  • I can actually see a glow on my face after using this.

I don’t dislike anything about this product. It is just perfect. I am gonna buy it again and again till of course I get bored. Then I may shift to their Almond and Apricot Scrub.

Jovees also makes some great face packs. I am using their 30+ youth pack and it is quite good. Maybe I’ll review it later.

All in all; it is a good product and has become my go-to, whenever I have a skin trouble. It is also quite efficient in removing face makeup.

My rating: :-* :-*:-*:-*

    1. This should work for combi skin too…

      Although the Jojoba & Wheatgerm may be better… Never used it, so can’t vouch for it…

  1. this is my holy grail scrub. i’ve used it twice in the past and am using something else at the moment, but my mind just keeps going back to this babe. mrunmayee, you’re right that this doesn’t have any drawback. didn’t you find this finer, thicker and pastier than other scrubs? the rest are so runny. i however, could not use it everyday.
