I’ll admit it – I have difficult skin. It’s sensitive, oily, prone to break outs and flakiness. Ugh. I’ll also admit that I’ve spent much more than I should on countless products that promised to make it all better, but never really did. I have tons of half used bottles of lotions, tonics and potions (it almost sounds like I’ve been visiting a snake oil salesman…) that never fulfilled the promise of peaches and cream.

Then I tried this.

from my friends at dermalogica

The granules are powder fine so they don’t rip into your skin like other scrubs I’ve tried, and with just a few drops of water it foams up really well! It only took about 3 days of use (1X a day) for me to see a difference. I’ve been using this stuff almost daily for a couple of months and I now feel comfortable enough with my skin that I no longer wear makeup to work during the day, and only apply a quick dusting of powder if I’m headed out for the evening. For me this is HUGE seeing as up until recently I wore a FULL face of makeup every single day, no matter what.

It’s a bit pricier than your drugstore lines, but I’ve found it’s really worth it – especially when factoring in the cash saved on makeup.

Do you have a favorite exfoliant?
