The Best Type of Facial Scrub

If you're like a lot of people, you tend to stick with the skin care basics: cleanse, tone anti-aging serum (depending on your age) and moisturizing for your at-home skincare regimen.  Some women opt for the occasional face masque at home, and of course, regular facials with your esthetician will produce great results, but there is an important step that should not be missed in your facial care at home: EXFOLIATING!

Exfoliating 2-3 times a week is recommended for most skin types to help the natural shedding process and promote smoother, healthier, and younger looking skin.  More benefits include smaller pores, the reduction of lines and your skin will absorb moisture more readily, which helps increase the effectiveness of your skincare products.  

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A FACIAL SCRUB:

*Fruit Enzymes like Pineapple or Papaya - Try our Pineapple Papaya Enzyme Peel

*Occasionally using Glycolic or Salicylic Acids may be helpful, depending on your skin type. 

WHAT TO AVOID IN A FACIAL SCRUB:

*Harsh Scrubs or Scrubs that contain apricot kernels or walnut shells, as they may actually cause microscopic cuts on your skin.
