Reactivates skin cells and a natural solution for skin dullness, dryness and uneven texture. A natural blend of matcha, sea salt, oils and vitamins leaves your skin soft and hydrated. Smells of refreshing bergamot. Rub a handful of scrub on your skin and let it work wonders from the outside in.
I am a matcha fan and so when I chanced upon Twig and Co Matcha Scrub, it was inevitable that I would purchase this, together with the Coffee Scrub. The Matcha Scrub uses salt while the Twig and Co Coffee Scrub uses pink salt and brown sugar as part of their exfoliation. However, the Matcha Scrub is pretty much abrasive and is not really suitable for those with sensitive and delicate skin.
It has a hint of matcha fragrance and is housed in a pretty and elegant clear glass jar that can be reused. There is a white label ( the kind you find in Popular or any stationery store ) pasted on the bottom of the jar which indicates the expiry date but unfortunately, placing it in my bathroom meant the wetness tends to peel away that label, so you end up having some white debris stuck on the jar.
Each jar only contains 100ml contents so for those who used it on a twice weekly basis, you may deplete it pretty quickly. However, I don't use it that frequently due to its abrasive nature hence the jar can still last me for slightly more than a month.
Twig and Co Matcha Scrub contains granules like salt to provide a good exfoliation for the skin. The contents are slightly moist and left a light moisturising veil after each exfoliation session. While I really like the super smooth skin thereafter, I don't really enjoy using the scrub as it hurts. That said, every one's skin is different so you may have an easier time than me.
In terms of ingredients, as the name implies, the matcha scrub contains green tea, which has high level of antioxidants, prevents UV-induced oxidation of free radicals, detoxes, improves skin elasticity, helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and reduces the symptoms of skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. I would like to think that drinking green tea would be much more beneficial for the body, but it never hurts to get some goodness from our body products too.
However, I really wouldn't use any salt based scrub on eczema skin, I can just imagine how much it would hurts but I know there are many deep sea salt scrubs which claim otherwise. If you have somehow heal your skin through such scrubs, please drop me a comment, I would like to know more, because there are many friends around me who have been battling with eczema. Thankfully, I have kept my eczema under control by moisturizing my skin on a regular basis and avoiding my trigger points.
In conclusion, Twig and Co Matcha Scrub has a subtle lovely matcha scent and makes my skin much smoother. I also like the natural ingredients but unfortunately, the scrub can be a tad too abrasive so I only use it when I think my skin is in need of a thorough scrub.
