5 Pretty and Polished Face Exfoliating Scrubs



With summer right around the corner, warmer weather calls for new scrubs to brighten and refresh dull skin. If you don’t know what a facial scrub is or how it differs from a cleanser, here’s what you need to know:
  • Facial scrubs shouldn’t be used on a daily basis (unless you shop for a product that specifies that). Typically, you want to use a scrub 2-3 times a week for best results.
  • Scrubs help exfoliate skin, sloughing away at dead skin cells to help reveal a brighter, healthier looking you. Facial scrubs help prevent acne, make pores smaller, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and of course, make it easier for your skin to absorb moisturizers.
  • Simply put, everyone needs a facial scrub!


From sweet smelling scents to anti-aging properties, we’ve rounded up five of our favorite facial scrubs for every beauty budget. 


Facial-Flex Facial Scrubs


1.       Mario Badescu Strawberry Face Scrub ($15). Use this delicious smelling face scrub two times a week and you’ll be on your way to a smoother, brighter complexion sans blackheads.
2.       Clinique Exfoliating Scrub ($18.50). This exfoliating scrub works best for those with oily skin, which helps prevent acne.
3.       Burt’s Bees Peach & Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub ($8). Formulated with finely ground peach stones, this polish helps remove dead skin cells for an instantly smoother complexion without leaving any gritty residue.
4.       Alchimie Forever Gentle Refining Scrub ($45). Forget any redness post-scrub with this cranberry and jojoba beads concoction that sloughs away dead cells while working to reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
5.       Philosophy The Microdelivery Exfoliating Wash ($26). We’re a fan of this sulfate-free formula that packs all the healthy ingredients to replenish and protect skin from environmental stressors.
