(So okay, there are certain products that I love and adore and want to tell the world about. This of course means that I have decided to start a new category of short little blog posts about various Things I Love. And then you can buy them and try them and love them too!)
Everyone thinks that my skin is simple and easy to take care of since it doesn't tend to break out or misbehave in any obvious ways. But in reality, my skin has always and forever been picky and sensitive (and also combination!), and the only reason I haven't used all the fancy creams and scrubs out there is because I've been afraid that they will anger my persnickety skin. It's really been frustrating because I have always had these little teeny bumps on my chin that have only gone away when I've endulged in a professional facial. Plus, my skin's gotten duller and more unevenly colored as I gotten into my 30's.
So I decided to hit my local Walgreens and see if there were any exfoliating scrubs that wouldn't kill me with ingredients designed to dry me out or rough edged scrubby pieces. And I found Oil of Olay's Regenerist Daily Regenerating Cleanser. After a week of using it, I was in love. My skin looks and feels awesome, and the little bumps are gone! I think I've only gotten 2 or 3 tiny little zits since I started using it, and really, I'm the only one who noticed they were there.
It's got teeny little beads that don't make my face feel like it's getting scraped, and the cleanser itself is creamy rather than foamy, which means it doesn't dry my skin out as much. I only use it once a day since it does have salicylic acid in it and twice a day would probably be too much for me. But scrubbing in the morning seems to be enough to keep my face unshiny and soft all day. And the best part? It's only $7 or $8 since you can find it in just about every drugstore (and also Target and Wal-Mart).
So if you're looking for a good scrub, get yer butt out to your closest drugstore and pick up some of this stuff.
