I loved getting facials. I would look forward to going to the spa or salon to have them done and melt at being pampered.
However, my favorite salon closed that I went to get my organic facials done at. That meant I would either have to suck it up and head to another esthetician or I would need to start doing them myself.
Cleansing, toners, and serums I had no problem finding. But I wanted the best exfoliating facial scrub that wouldn’t damage or irritate my sensitive skin.
Safer Products
There are a few main products that I found work great for exfoliating my skin. All of these products you can purchase through Earthley and are made of safer ingredients that you can actually pronounce.
Exfoliating Skin Cream
The first one is my personal favorite. It has small and gentle exfoliating beads that are made from raspberry seed powder.
The cream melts in your hand and has a nice earthy and fruity scent. It comes in a glass container that you have to scoop product out of. This is a downside for me as I feel it might not have as long of a shelf life due to possible contamination from your hands or the tool you use to scoop the product out.
- Organic Hemp Seed Oil
- Organic Argan Oil
- Kokum Butter
- Raspberry Seed Powder
- Rose-Geranium Essential Oil
I have noticed an improvement in my skin texture and coloration using this product. I am a repeat customer with this one as it’s not only effective to remove the dead skin and make my face smooth but it also doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin.
Exfoliating Cleanser
Another product that I have used and been happy with is their exfoliating cleanser. It comes in a tube that you can squeeze product out onto your hand.
This product also has safe ingredients such as:
- Castor oil*
- Saponified oils (coconut oil*, pumpkin seed oil*, jojoba oil*, castor oil*, avocado oil*, kokum butter)
- Raspberry seed powder
- Orange essential oil
It also gets the job done as far as exfoliating your face and making it feel smooth. The only reason I don’t like this product as much as the one above is due to it not containing argan oil, as I feel that oil is beneficial for my type of skin.
However, everyone’s skin is different, so this might be the exfoliant for you!
Coffee Scrub
Maybe you’re looking for something with a bit more “oomph” behind it.
In steps their Coffee Scrub!
It has a rich coffee aroma to it and is a nice pick-me-up for the morning time.
It also comes in a small glass container that you must scoop the product out of. This is a downside to me again due to the possibility of contamination by touching other product in the jar.
Something else to keep in mind is that this is a bit rougher in my experience. So if you’re looking for a more aggressive exfoliant, this is the option for you.
- Activated Charcoal
- Organic Coffee
- Organic Cocoa powder
- Saponified Oils (Organic Olive Oil, Organic Avocado Oil, Organic Castor Oil, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Mango Butter)
Healthy, Happy Skin!
I hope you enjoyed the breakdown of safer options for exfoliating skin creams! As I stated before, your skin is your largest organ, so any healthier ingredients you use will only benefit you in the long run.
