Apparently St. Ives isn't the best thing for your face. "First, stop using St. Ives Apricot Scrub!!! The particles are large, non-uniform, sharp, and too abrasive to be suitable for facial use." from reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction beginners guide (link below) I used that stuff at one point also. I haven't bought it in a while, I've just been using regular soap and then moisturizing after showering. I've been considering starting a routine like the reddit sub describes.
