Watsons Whitening Milk & Salt Scrub

Lately I've been eyeing on how uneven my skin tone is. I blame the weather plus I commute almost daily to school! So I decided to buy this yesterday:

(Used my phone cam)

Bought it at Watsons (Thank you captain obvious!) SM Cubao. It only costs 99 Pesos for 600 grams! I couldn't tell you still on how effective it is. But from it's price, well I wouldn't expect a significant impact instantaneously. I'd give it a month or so before giving my verdict. Other brands offer almost the same quality and end result as this so I strongly think they're all the same. This one though, has papaya extract so it's perfect for exfoliation and whitening! Talk about hitting two birds with one stones, eh? No? Okay.

Anyway, I used it this morning for the first time. The directions say to pour the scrub on your palm and apply it on wet/damp skin in circular motion then leave it for three minutes. And I, being a law-abiding citizen, did exactly just that.

How it felt: The bottle says it is suitable for sensitive skin, so I guess it felt okay. Well what do you expect to feel from salt right? I suggest not to rub it too hard though. AND! May I add to wash skin first with soap then rinse before applying the scrub to not aggregate the skin too much!

The smell: No smell at all (or maybe I just had colds. Teehee :D). Basically nothing too pungent. So that's good.

The taste: Call me gross but I tasted it. Of course just one grain. Duh. Heeeheeeeee. It tasted salty (as promised).

After three minutes of staring at the label of the product, I rinsed as instructed. I dried my skin and the scrub felt rejuvenating for my skin. Of course it didn't whiten agad. But my skin felt softer (slight!).

So I guess I'll be using this everyday to see full results. As far as using it once, it was alright. I've used body scrubs before and this one, I can say, feels effective because a)there was a kind of tingling sensation after application and b)it tasted salty which usually is a good thing or IDK maybe I'm just sleepy because it's like 1.30 in the morning. Heehee.

I've read good reviews for Watsons Whitening Milk & Salt Scrub so I say this is a good buy!

In other unrelated news about how exciting my life is, I just downloaded Retro Camera for Android (see above photos) and I'm excited to use all the cameras that app has to offer! Also, I just finished studying 1/4 of my GG subject so I'm happy with that but not quite since my brain is shutting down. So goodnight lovelies <3 I need to wake up early to study(again!) for my finals! Summer vacation's coming up so let's get these school works over and done with!
