I had this product included in my last "empties" post, and a lovely fellow blogger asked me do to a review on this product. I must firstly apologize for taking soo long to do this review as work has been consuming all my time. Its financial year end and so forth so its going to be hectic for a while.
Anyway, let me get on with the review....
Sandalwood Blackhead Treatment 50ml - helps remove blackheads and prevents re-occurrence. This is what is states on the front of the bottle. Price R27, purchased from Gorimas.
Key Ingredients:
Sandalwood
Cirrebelle Beads
Aqua
Strawberry Fragrance
Directions:
To get rid of toxins causing blackheads, apply scrub in a circular movements daily.
Wash off with water.
Follow with Sandalwood mask for excellent results.
I have very sensitive skin so I was worried about the strawberry fragrance. It does not have the typical sandalwood powder smell. This definitely agrees with my skin.
It is typically a light pink cream with blue beads in it. The beads where another surprise. It was not a typical scrub. I initially thought that the beads where "too soft" and thought is was not going to be effective in removing blackheads.
After I applied it to my face and chin area, I kept rubbing it into the skin for a few minutes and then let it sit on the skin for 10 to 15 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water.
The blackheads immediately move to the surface of the skin. I am not sure if this happens for anyone else who uses this product. I then use a blackhead remover directly after rinsing this off. I was impressed after not expecting much. My skin is smoother after using this.
I do not use it daily as the container suggests (no time, laziness etc) but I try to use it once or twice a week. I really should try to use it more often. This product has now become a staple in my skincare routine. I have repurchased this product and am on my third bottle.
Other products I have tried are:
Sandalwood Scrub - for deep cleanse & exfoliation
Sandalwood Eye Mask - for dark circles and tired eyes. Vitamin E enriched.
My next DIY skincare project is to make a homemade vitamin c serum when I find some time as others have had success with this.
Please leave any comments and suggestions below.
Thank you guys.

Hi
ReplyDeleteI have recently purchased the Sandalwood mask. I have been using it for a week now, and it has done wonders for my acne and scars. but I was just wondering, if you are using these sandalwood products, wouldn't you have a reaction when you use your regular skin care products? You mentioned above that you use it once or twice a week. So what products do you use?
Hi
DeleteI am glad that this product works for you. I use it as often as I feel I need to and it expels blackheads form my skin. I have sensitive skin, and I can use this in conjunction with any skincare I may use. I also have very detailed post on the skincare that I use on my blog.
Thank you
