Please DO NOT use the St. Ives body scrub on your face! Even their “face scrub” shouldn’t be used on the face. I am having traumatic flashbacks of what I did to my skin in the early 2000s even thinking about it. The Cerave is a great choice for a start cleanser and moisturizer, though! Maybe consider adding an SPF for daytime as well.
