Re: Favorite facial scrub/exfoliator?

Thanks everyone for all your suggestions.  Have a nice list now to look into and see which one I want to try first.

Re: Favorite facial scrub/exfoliator?

I recently went back to Philosophy's Microdelivery facial wash and really enjoying it.  It's a daily facial scrub that leaves my skin really soft.

@San Antonio Gal Ohhh!  Will have to add that Philosophy Microdelivery wash to the list.  Used to use that and liked it.  Hmmm.....

Without a doubt...WEN!  It is truly the most gentle physical exfoliator I have ever used and takes a very small amount.  I exfoliate from forehead to décolletage daily.

I have dry skin.  I've been using Tatcha Rice Polish (gentle) for a couple of years.  A little goes a long way.  Two more jars in waiting.  I use it most every night and could probably use it less.  VERY happy with it.  Before using the polish, I cleanse with Tatcha Rice Cleanser.  If I have on makeup, I'll use her Oil Cleanser first.  Two thumbs up!

Forgot to mention.  This is not a grainy type physical exfoliator.  Those are not advised as chemical exfoliation is more gentle than physical that can make tiny micro-tears on the skin.  It's a grainy powder type product but when water is added to it and you rub it between your hands, the graininess dissolves into a lather.

I use 'St Ives Gentle Apricot Facial Scrub' 3 or 4 times a week, have used the high end stuff but always seem to go back to St Ives, leaves my skin baby soft.

The only one I can tolerate is Clinique 7 day scrub.  I don't use it every day but occasionally.

Re: Favorite facial scrub/exfoliator?

@JudyL I buy microdermabrasion crystals from Amazon (I buy the very fine #120 grit) & then I mix it with a bit of mother of pearl powder.

I wet my hands & face, add some powder, gently massage my skin with it & my skin feels smooth & soft. I use this every few days & my skin loves it.

My sister mixes this right into her face cleanser & uses it that way.

It's very inexpensive & works so well.

Re: Favorite facial scrub/exfoliator?

I always like to see everyone's recommendations.   Nice info to get and always appreciate the opinions, especially when someone takes the time to tell us why they like a product.  Thanks to everyone.  I am currently alternating between several so not with a favorite right now.

If my dog doesn't like you, neither do I.
