Because I suffer from mild acne rosacea I need to use products that are gentle on my skin and won't dry it out too much. Not such an easy task when new products are coming onto the market every few months claiming they will miraculously cure something that's been with you most of your life in four short weeks; not to mention the cost.
But still hoping to find something new I took a trip down to my local health food shop and I couldn't resist when I spotted a few tubes of Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Natural Facial Scrub sitting on the shelf. I'd used Queen Helene products before and always been more than satisfied with them, so I paid my £8.99 and with fingers crossed popped the tube into my shopping bag.
The dull colour and slightly gritty feeling put me off a little bit but as I added warm water and started to softly rub the mixture across my cheeks and nose something miraculous happened, my skin stated tingling instead of the usual burn I got with other facial scrubs. After 5 days I really noticed a difference, the natural fibres of the scrub were gently exfoliating my skin - drawing out all the nasties and removing the dead cells without causing patches of dry red skin. For the first time in years I was actually on the way to a healthy looking completion. Within 6 weeks people were commenting on my 'glow,' they could see there was something different but couldn't quiet work out what. Maybe it was the fact that I was holding my head up and not bowing my head down trying to hiding my awful skin.
Directions: Moisten face and neck with warm water, apply a small amount of Cocoa Butter Natural Facial Scrub into the palm of your hand with a drop of warm water and rub until you get a slight foam, gently wash your face using the tips of your fingers, rinse as you would normal soap or face wash and pat your face dry.
(When you are sure that the product is safe for you to use you'll be able to give your skin a deeper cleanse by using the palms of you hands instead of finger tips and rubbing more vigorously.)
The usual cautions apply : Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with cool tap water. For external use only. Keep out of reach of children.

Review of Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Natural Facial Scrub
Advantages: The Product works, Disadvantages: The smell, It can be quite pricey
...on mainly smell. However the Queen Helene brand produces mainly complimentary products especially the Queen Helene Moisturisers and Cremes. The product works, with an evident consistency of a scrub containing parts of walnut shell as the main means of exfolient. With the pure cocoa butter smoothness and the distinct smell, which is either loved or hated based on conversations I have had with other users.
However all the ingredients of the Queen ... ...it works for you.
Queen Helene is produced in the USA and is not widely sold in stores, however it is sold online both on eBay and stand alone web-retailers, i expect the price to pay could be from £6 - £10 so shop around, however you will expect to pay more shipping if you buy from USA direct. ...
