Every once and a while, my skin just feels dull and congested, and that’s when I break out my arsenal of exfoliants! The thing is, not all exfoliants are created equal, and picking one to suit your needs is soo so important. There’s four facial exfoliants (all clean & cruelty free) that I use and love when I need a refresher, so here’s how I use ‘em and when…
The pick-me-up…
Getting a little boost from coffee isn’t just beneficial for your busy mornings; it’s great for your skin too!
This coffee scrub by UpCircle is one of my favorites for a noticeable skin refresh. I love using this one in the morning when my skin feels tired, and rinsing it with cold water intensifies the wake-up! Plus, it’s really not expensive or too harsh, so this one’s worth trying! (They also have a version for sensitive skin!)

The cleanser…
This exfoliant feels like a cleanser and gentle exfoliant all in one! It’s a powder that gets fizzy when you add water, so it gives you that deep down clean feeling in your pores.
I love using this one if my skin is really congested, or if I’ve been sweating a lot! Plus, the scrubby part feels a lot finer, so it’s not super harsh.

The safer microdermabrasion…
This powder feels more like a microdermabrasion treatment, especially when you mix it with Farmaesthetic’s Fine Herbal Cleanser! It’s probably the second most scrubby feeling exfoliant on this list (behind the coffee scrub by UpCircle), so this is one you’d want to use sparingly when you feel like you really need a good clean.
But, one of my favorite parts of this exfoliant is the rose scent, and the rose petals in it can help provide anti-aging properties!

The everyday…
This one is the gentlest scrub on this list IMO. I’ve used it everyday, and my skin loves it!
The milk powder’s lactic acid also exfoliates in addition to the texture, so this is a great option for anyone needing a little extra scrub without being damaging!
