Time to Exfoliate!
Published Jul 29, 2011
Exfoliating your face (and body) is vital to maintaining clear, healthy skin but is often a step we forget at shower or bath time. Scrubbing not only sloughs off dead skin cells but also stimulates your skin so that more blood flows to that area, giving you a healthy glow. Here are Beautylish's Top 3 picks for gentle but effective face exfoliators:
1 Jurlique Fruit Enzyme Exfoliator
This exfoliator is more like a mask as you leave it on your skin rather than use it as a scrub. Pumpkin enzymes, sugar cane, lemon and orange extracts all work to improve a dull complexion and boost cell renewal. It works almost like a natural face peel.
2 Aubrey Natural AHA Fruit Acids Exfoliating Mask
For an organic twist, this exfoliating mask uses ground rosehip seeds, apricot kernels and oatmeal to deeply exfoliate and cleanse the skin. The texture is thick like a normal scrub, but leaves a soft, silky feeling with white camellia and herbal oils.
3 Chanel Mousse Exfoliante Pureté
The ultimate in exfoliating luxuries, this mousse contains tulip tree extract, an anti-pollution agent that traps skin pollutants and washes them away. Small exfoliating beads make you feel like all the nasties are being thoroughly scrubbed off so skin is left feeling soft and smelling sweet.
