I love olives

In my ongoing quest to prove that you don’t need to spend a fortune to get great skin care products (a girl can’t think about home appliances ALL the time) I’ve discovered a new favourite. I’ve been using a new  Olive Cleanser from St. Ives(famous for its apricot scrub) that I think delivers great value. This foamy cleanser, which has a delightfully subtle olive-y scent, removes make-up and cleans really well, but it doesn’t leave the rapidly aging,  highly-experienced skin on my face feeling dry or tight. And it costs just $9 for a 200-ml bottle. I also really like the Olive Scrub from the same line. I often find scrubs irritating, but the exfoliants in this one are kind to my skin. A 150-ml tube sells for about $9, which sounds good to this recessionista. I LOVE these products, both for the way they make my skin feel and their great value. I’m also looking forward to trying out St. Ives' new line of mineral therapy body lotions. I’ll report back here on that later.
