You Can Customize Beauty Products At The St. Ives Mixing Bar In NYC

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Wash U chapter.

The St. Ives Mixing Bar in SoHo is changing the skin care game. For the past couple of months and until September 30th, you can customize your own face scrubs and lotions. The possibilities are endless and you will get a one-of-a-kind product that’s perfect for your skin. I got to check out the St. Ives Mixing Bar for myself and it was such a cool experience.

After waiting in a very long line and filling out a form sheet with what I wanted to create it was finally my turn. You can make a face scrub or a lotion in any of their endless fragrance combinations, from pineapple mango to papaya pistachio. I decided to make an avocado honey face scrub with coconut shell powder. The mask is made out of a base powder, preservatives, glycerin extract, and your preferred fragrance. Once it’s all blended they give you a large contain of your customized lotion or scrub for $12.
