Honesty time! Do you really like the idea of exfoliating, but always find yourself too lazy to do it? Or maybe you went out and got that apricot scrub everyone uses but then you were like, "Why am I rubbing this apricot scented SAND GOO all over my face, OUCH!?!?"
Anyway, I have good news. You do not have to rub sand on your face in order to clear your pores. Exfoliation should not be a painful process - if it is, you're probably doing it wrong.
Here we are, four days into the New Year. Your skin might be crying for an intervention at this point, after too many cookies, dehydration, and falling asleep with a bunch of glittery-ass makeup on your face because that obviously makes people want to kiss you. If you want to make a quick scrub with stuff you probably have around your house, olive oil and brown sugar will do the trick. But, if you think you might eat a brown sugar face scrub and you're looking for some easy, cheap, daily pore-clearing magic, this is the stuff for you.
I use them at night since they do leave a little bit of a film on my skin, and I don't like to put make up over it.
This product contains a type of alpha-hydroxy Acid (AHA). Be careful when using other AHA products, and wear sunscreen (which you should be doing anyway!) because your skin will be more sensitive to sun damage.
This product contains orange and lemon extract, so it might not be good for anyone who is sensitive to those oils.
Not intended as a make up remover! Will not take the glittery make up off your face, and definitely don't use it to take off mascara.
Summary: I would recommend to a friend
