Are Facial Scrubs Good For Your Skin?

The answer to this is question is "YES" and "NO".

Exfoliation of the skin is critical to keeping it looking good and healthy.  However, when using a facial scrub, look for one that has spherical (round) particles to exfoliate the skin such as jojoba beads.  Facial scrubs that contain ingredients like crushed apricot or walnut shells can have jagged edges. When moved over the skin, these jagged particles can cause micro-tears in epidermis leading to inflammation.  Inflammation is a pre-cursor to having the skin age more quickly which is exactly what you DON'T want to happen.

PRIIA Cosmetics offers a wonderful facial product called the Creamy Clay Exfoliating Cleanser.  It contains tiny micro jojoba beads that gently glide across the skin's surface loosening and lifting away dead skin cells.  This unique cleanser not only exfoliates the epidermis (top layer of the skin) but it also helps to rid the pores of impurities because it contains bentonite clay.  It's delicious citrus aroma will soothe and invigorate the senses at the same time.  PRIIA offers sample sizes of this wonderful cleanser so you can try before you buy the full-size version.  Give it a try...your skin will thank you.
