Winter, the season for dry, flaky and dull skin is here again. So, it’s important to arm yourself with a good scrub if you want smooth, youthful skin. It is my search for a perfect, mild scrub that brought me to Nivea Skin Refining Scrub. I have been using other products from this brand for years, and have always been happy with their quality. so I decided to give this one a try.

My experience with Nivea Skin Refining Scrub
Packaging: This scrub comes in a tube packaging. You can see the contents and the blue microbeads through the tube, which makes the packaging quite attractive.
Application instructions: Apply to wet face 2 -3 times a week, concentrate on the forehead and chin, avoid the lip and eye area. Rinse of with lukewarm water.
Colour, texture and fragrance: This scrub comes in a very appealing light blue colour. It also has blue and white microbeads in it. It has a pleasant fragrance, which is not very strong. I quite like the texture of this scrub as it is not very rough. It has soft granules that dissolve after some time. The scrub foams up like a face wash when we use it on our face.
Experience:
It is soft, gentle and ideal for sensitive skin. Nivea Skin Refining Scrub is the perfect product for women whose skin is prone to breaking out. This scrub spreads smoothly on to the skin and lathers well. In fact you need a very little amount and it will cover your whole face. The microbeads are quite effective in exfoliating the skin. This scrub is also quite effective in removing the black heads around the nose. Your skin will feel quite refreshed and clear when you wash off this product. It also does not dry out the skin too much like most scrubs. I have been using this scrub for the last few weeks and my skin feels quite smooth and soft after use.
Overall Performance of Nivea Skin Refining Scrub
Pros:
- Refreshes skin
- Affordable
- East to carry
Cons:
- Contains chemicals…loads of them
Would I repurchase or recommend?
I would definitely repurchase this scrub. It worked very well for me. Though the pack mentions that this scrub is for normal skin, I feel it will suit all skin types.
Rating: 4/5
