Bia Beauty Orange and Grapefruit Facial Exfoliant and Cleanser

About a month ago, I was lucky to be sent a couple of products from Bia Beauty . I was super excited when they arrived because I've wanted to try these handmade products for ages. First up, I wanted to share the Orange and Grapefruit Facial Exfoliant and Cleanser

This gentle and invigorating cleanser features a heavely orange and grapefruit scent. I seriously can't stop smelling the jar everytime I pass it. It smells like freshly squeezed orange and grapefruit juice.  Yum!!  There are also tiny jojoba grains that remove dead skin cells and brighten the complexion without it being harsh.

When applying this, I take a small amount out with the tips of my fingers and gently massage my face and neck using small circular movements then rinse with water.

I've used it 2-3 times a week and definitely notice my skin feels cleaner and is left with a lovely glow. This is definitely going to be a future purchase for me and at €16.95 it is very reasonably priced for a handmade skincare product.

You can purchase this lovely on Bia Beauty aswell as one of their stockists

Next time, I'll be sharing my thoughts on Bia Beautys award winning Detox Body Scrub
