In my opinion, there is nothing better than a great spring cleaning! I don’t just mean organizing your home, closet, or desk drawers… I mean my skin. Now that winter has finally said it’s last goodbye, it is definitely time to shed all the dead skin, and make way for that fresh spring glow! Here are my go-to’s for exfoliating and taking great care of your exterior while cleaning out your home’s interior!
Bath + Body Works Stress Relief Smoothing Body Scrub – I have been a huge fan of this fragrance for a few years now, but this particular product has been a great addition to my shower caddy for one amazing reason – pre shave exfoliation! After a minute or two of hopping in a warm shower, I work this scrub over any areas where I may have rough skin, or dry patches on my knees, and rinse off before applying shaving gel. This way you are working away all of the dead skin, and leaving behind only the soft stuff for an even closer shave!
Kiehls Clearly Corrective Skin Brightening Exfoliator – Another product that has been a staple in my routine, as I have raved about it before here on petiteMODERN. I love the deep clean feeling I have after using this product before bed. I feel confident knowing that when I wake up, I will see a noticeable difference in my skin’s texture, and a lot less redress/discoloration from any blemishes, or dark spots. The texture is very fine, but makes for a great exfoliation that you can use daily if needed.
Erno Laszlo’s Phelityl Pre-Cleansing Oil & Sea Mud Deep Cleansing Bar – These product samples are completely new to my skincare routine, and I am so happy to have found out about them at a recent Beauty Blogger event at Elements Beauty Shop here in Richmond. The system seems a bit odd for someone with oily skin: remove your eye makeup first, then start with the pre-cleansing Oil, applying a dab all over your face, then following it up by wetting the Cleansing Bar with warm water. The combination of the oil and sea mud bar create an amazing lather that leaves my skin feeling clean, deep down, and smooth to the touch. Definitely a keeper, and has helped control my combination skin at all hours of the day!
