A beauty snob can’t be too loyal! Bioelements is a line I’ve been using for years, and I go back to them every couple of years. I love my scrubs and after lathering my face with a slue of other scrubs, I had forgotten how much I love this one. It has the perfect consistency of tiny white crystals; the granules just exfoliating enough but not so rough that they’re torturous. I hate scrubs that are too gentle – what’s the point? You just feel tiny balls rolling around your face doing nothing. This is an old-school scrub with a delicate scent that’s easy to ignore – not intrusive and all up your nose. While it gets the job done, it tends to be drying. I like adding a pump of my trusty Shu Uemura oil for a much nicer experience: a deep cleanse with the oil, a topical clean with the scrub.
Especially with all the sunscreen you’ll be using as the temperature rises and you spend more time outside, you must have a solid exfoliator to shed built-up thickness and let your freshest skin shine. On Spa Look for $51.
