Face Scrubs to Leave You Glowing

A gentle cleanse rids your skin of dirt, oil, debris, makeup, and pollution. Use a cleanser fit for your skin type—gel to clarify oily and acne-prone skin, milky lotion for normal and sensitive skin, and creamier lotions and oils for dry and mature skin.

If you want to refine the appearance of dull, dry, lusterless skin, you need a second step—exfoliation. When you exfoliate, you scrub away the dead surface layer of cells, which not only improves skin texture, but also stimulates circulation and encourages toxins to escape through the unclogged pores. When skin is clean and exfoliated, it can absorb the beneficial ingredients in treatment and moisturizing products much more effectively.

It takes young skin 25 days to renew itself naturally by shedding dead cells and generating new ones. As skin matures, this process slows down. This causes a buildup of dry, dull flakes that give skin a rough, uneven texture and aged appearance. All you need to do to bring back a healthy glow is scrub gently. Exfoliating your skin once or twice a week will reveal the smoother, softer new skin beneath the dead cells.
