Top 10 Face Scrubs

WHAT IT DOES
Formulated with dead sea salt, this facial scrub works to buff away dull, dead skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines, roughness, and wrinkles. It’s also enriched with kaolin, a type of clay that soaks up excess oil and restores balance to the skin’s natural moisture barrier.

USER REVIEW
“I have very dry skin and suffer from eczema, so finding products that clean my skin without irritating it can be a challenge. This has become a staple in my skincare routine. It cleans my skin and reduces any buildup of dead skin, keeping my skin fresh. I use this along with the hydrating night cream from the same brand to keep it clean and hydrated throughout the day.”

WHAT IT DOES
The only word that comes to mind while using this exfoliator is “yum.” Whether utilized as a scrub or leave-on mask, the fruit- and plant-based formula brightens (strawberry), seals in moisture (brown sugar), and hydrates (plum and grapeseed oils), all while gently sloughing away dead skin cells.

If using as a mask, leave it on for up to 10 minutes and rinse with warm water.
