St. Ives Smooth & Nourished 2-in-1 Scrub & Mask, Oatmeal 6 oz (Pack of 4) — exfoliating walnut shell, soothing oatmeal

St. Ives Smooth & Nourished Scrub & Mask in Oatmeal is a 2-in-1 facial treatment that exfoliates with naturally sourced walnut shell powder and nourishes with oatmeal extract for softer, smoother skin.

Designed by St. Ives, a leading scrub brand in Canada, this dual-purpose product works either as a rinse-off scrub to lift away dull surface cells or as a short-contact mask to hydrate and calm. Each 6 oz tube contains gently abrasive walnut shell powder derived from natural sources and soothing oatmeal extract. The pack of four provides a supply for regular use across face-care routines or for sharing with family.

How do I use this as a scrub without over-exfoliating?

Apply a small amount to damp skin and massage in gentle circular motions, concentrating on areas that feel rough or look dull. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry. Limit exfoliation to 3–4 times per week to maintain skin balance and avoid irritation.

• Use fingertips, not a cloth, to control pressure
• Avoid broken or highly sensitive skin
• Rinse completely to remove all particles
• Follow with a moisturizer to lock in softness

Can this product be left on as a mask, and what results should I expect?

Yes — the formula doubles as a short-contact mask. Apply an even layer, leave on for 5–7 minutes, then gently massage and rinse. Expect an immediate feeling of nourishment and a refreshed, smoother surface after use, without long wait times.

• Apply to clean, dry or slightly damp skin
• Set a timer for 5–7 minutes for best results
• Massage briefly before rinsing to activate exfoliants
• Use up to 3–4 times weekly as part of routine care

What are the key ingredients and why are they included?

The scrub-mask combines 100% naturally sourced walnut shell powder for mechanical exfoliation with oatmeal extract to soothe and comfort skin. Walnut shells help remove dead surface cells, while oatmeal delivers a calming, softening effect to help skin look more even and feeling less dry. The balance aims to reveal natural radiance without harsh chemical resurfacing.

• Walnut shell powder: natural exfoliant to smooth texture
• Oatmeal extract: hydrates and calms skin surface
• Gentle base: suitable for routine use when directions followed
• Rinse-off formulation: easy removal after mask or scrub use

How should I incorporate this into my existing skincare routine?

Use the scrub on days you want physical exfoliation and choose the mask when skin needs a quick boost of nourishment. Apply after cleansing and before serums or moisturizers; always follow with a hydrating product and sunscreen in the morning. Adjust frequency based on your skin’s tolerance and response.

• Cleanse first to remove makeup and oils
• Exfoliate or mask 3–4 times weekly at most
• Apply serums/moisturizer after rinsing and drying
• Use daily SPF in the daytime to protect renewed skin

Who is this for: St. Ives Smooth & Nourished Scrub & Mask, Oatmeal is suited for people seeking a natural-feel, multitasker facial product to reduce dullness and add softness. It fits best for those comfortable with gentle physical exfoliation, users wanting a quick treatment-mask option, and shoppers who prefer naturally sourced exfoliants. Avoid use on irritated, broken, or very reactive skin and consult your routine if you use strong actives like retinoids.
