Today's review is for the Apricot scrub 
apricot scrub-very creamy with micro fine scrub particles 
One packet gave me 3 separate uses


I'm absolutely thrilled to bring you today's product review of Montagne Jeunesse Crushed Apricot & Mango  Exfoliating Scrub. This was sent along as a part of a very generous sample package from the wonderful publicity department of Montagne Jeunesse USA office. They are located and sell in the United Kingdom but they do offer retail here in the states and abroad as well. They even have some American exclusive products that can be purchased only here. I received a bundle of eight full size different types of facials, tonic masques, peel off masques and exfoliators in my package of which the apricot scrub will be reviewed below.

I have always seen these on other blogs and was extremely curious about them, especially the chocolate mask which seems to be a popular one so I'm excited to have had the opportunity myself in trying these products. These are made with natural ingredients and are cruelty free as well. The prices for the products are outrageous crazy so there is no excuse for you guys not to try them! And each pack can give you up to 3 uses unless it's a facial peel off pack which is a single use. The brand also carries lip products, body care and anti aging items as well. I'm posting some product info below and am adding a link to the Montage Jeunesse Facebook page at end of the review so you can join & like them.


Since we began in 1988, Montagne Jeunesse has been passionately against animal testing. We believe that the best way to test the safety of our products on humans is to test on humans, so this is what we do! The Montagne Jeunesse Promise: We guarantee that none of our products have been tested on animals since 1978

We don't buy any ingredients that have been tested on animals. We operate a Fixed Date Cut Off Policy of the 31st December 1978 - which means that no materials that have been tested on animals from this date can become a Montagne Jeunesse product!


We do not do any form of animal testing, or get others to do it for us. We never have and never will. The only guinea pigs we use are human!
Our suppliers must also not test specific ingredients on animals or use others to do it for them - this ensures that none of our, or your money funds cruelty to animals!

All your natural beauty care needs are just one click away, perfect for part of your daily detox program or just natural living – an essential shopping item! products are made with natural ingredients and paraben, gluten free.


Pro: quick easy to use sealed product packs- extremely affordable- decent size 12 to 20 grams-exfoliators can be used about 3 times while remaining fresh in packet-( just store in a ziploc baggie)- fantastic variety's and a plethora of scents-skin feels refreshed and soft-cruelty free- natural ingredients-travel friendly-no parabens or gluten-large assortment for different skin types and skin issues

Con: I can't think of any....


My results: This result is for the Apricot & Mango exfoliating scrub pack and from the moment I teared opened the seal getting a whiff of that fresh fruit scent I was hooked. The results were my skin was very smooth from being properly exfoliated without any irritations or redness. I have sensitive skin and found no problems using this. You can really get a sense of how fresh it is and you almost want to dip your finger into the product and eat it. It smells like fruit smoothie!

The packaging: The way these are packaged are in sealed foil time packets with a fill weight anywhere from 12 to 20 grams depending on which item you buy. The Apricot scrub was 12 grams and gave me three separate uses. For about $2.25 a pack, that's awesome! And if your wondering if it went dry or bad after the first use, it did not. All I had to do was roll the foil down and place the pack in a small snack size Ziploc baggie. It stayed fresh all week and none of the product evaporated. The convenient packaging is great because you can travel with tons of them in your bag and pick and choose which products you need without taking up space. For instance- you can grab an exfoliator, a peel off masque, anti aging product and bring them all along without having to carry three different size jars. Awesome! It also ensure you get fresh product all the time seeing that natural fruit ingredients are used without chemicals large size jars might go sour fast.

The Formula: the formula for the apricot mango scrub is very thick and creamy. It easily spreads over your face without any heaviness. The formula contains apricot, mango and aloe vera along with these tiny gentle micro scrubbing beads. It's real easy to use: clean your face first then spread the product all over your face and gently massage in the beads. Then you let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes and rinse off. I have to mention that it tightens on your skin in a very firm way so if your using this makes sure you wont be interrupted because you wont be able to speak as it has a firming effect on your face and around your mouth. It's pointless to have it on then crack it up while taking. So sit back and relax with it. I went to full 10 minutes and splurged in the "me time" I seldom have soaking in the delicious fruity scent.
  

When it was all over my skin felt tightened, fresh and super clean! It was nice that three entire uses came out of one package while covering my  face completely each time. I'm excited to try all the other packs especially the chocolate and peel off masque. I just love peel off masques! While there might be all kinds of facial products on the market they can't compare to the prices for this brand. I used to buy Rachel Perry since discovering it in high school but the prices were too high for me. This brand starts at $2.25! Wow! But more importantly they are natural, cruelty free and paraben free so this gets a super starfish rating from me! Seriously people...A couple of dollars to get fresh clean skin for whatever skin  issues you might have from acne to anti-aging issues. There is no reason you shouldn't be able to try all of them. I'm thrilled to discover amazing cruelty free natural brands and pass the discovery on to my subscribers. Has anyone tried this brand yet? If not step to it! Stay natural... Stay beautiful! XOXO
