Is it bad to use st. ives apricot scrub blemish control twice a day? it says on the bottle you can but is it bad for you?

Not bad: Also of little benefit for acne. Apricots are good to eat. Wash with it if you happen to like it for any reason. But if you are looking for control of acne you will need to look elsewhere. No one can prescribe for you without further information. Best results from consultation with a skin specialist. "Natural" is misleading and dishonest on any label. "Exfoliant" is not usually a useful product on

Remember : Too much exfoliation, which is what the scrub does, can inflame your skin. So just make sure your skin isn't red, itchy or sensitive as this suggest likely inflamed skin. If that's the case reduce your use.
