Scrubbing up

There’s no doubt that exfoliating scrubs can tone and refine uneven texture, leaving a cleaner and smoother skin.  Choosing the right exfoliating scrub can be a torturous exercise given the huge range of products readily available.  One stand out performer, we’ve discovered for all skin types is Mario Badescu Botanical Exfoliating Scrub that combines a unique combination of botanicals with a gel-based formula.

We found this scrub felt more like a polish that acted to buff off dead cells, rather than a harsh drying formula that left the complexion tight and irritated.  The skin felt immediately invigorated and refreshed.

We loved that there was just the right amount of efficient particles  that weren’t rough, yet got to work without causing irritation.  There was no gooey residue.  Skin was left soft and clean – well prepared for a serum or moisturiser.

The fact that it’s gentle makes this a winner.  There’s no need to apply pressure, massage all areas of the face using upward, circular motions for 30 seconds and then rinse with warm water.  It’s that easy.  It can be used 1-3 times a week, but once a week will result in a luminous and clearer complexion.   Try that for starters.
