Hi there
I recently had a facial and the beautician suggested that I should include an exfoliant into my skincare routine. She tried to sell me her exfoliant (Pevonia) but at $60 seemed a tad expensive.
I have combination skin which is also a bit dry/dehydrated. She suggested by including a gentle scrub, it will help with dryness.
Currently I use:
Morning:
Aveda cleanser sensitive
Jurlique Rose Petal Mist
Janesce Softening Wonder Serem
Janesce Normal/Combination Lotion
MD Formulations 30+ SPF Protection
Night:
Cetaphil cleanser
Jurlique rose petal mist
Ole Hendrikson eye gel
Janesce softening wonder serem
Janesce Normal/combination Lotion
(BTW, Janesce is similar to Jurlique - organic products).
My face has never been better but as I mentioned above is slightly dry on my cheeks.
Can anyone reccommend a good exfoliant for dry skin?
Thanks and look forward to your suggestions. |

I haven't tried it yet but this seems to be quite popular. I'm thinking about ordering it myself. I've been pleased so far with all of their products.

| I have been using an ENJO face glove with my Kate Somerville products. It is nice and gentle and used morning and night provides a regular exfoliation. (My enjo demonstrator doesn't use any product with her glove at all - she just uses cold water!) |

As an everyday exfoliating cleanser, I use Aveeno's daily scrub. Since it is mild, it will not dry out nor irritate your skin. It is very cheap, under $10 and will last you.
I have recommended Aveeno to two of my friends, and both have had pleasing results. |

Oh, it is called "Aveeno Skin Brightening Daily Scrub", and it is soap-free, oil-free, hypoallergenic and noncomedogenic . It combines natural soy extracts with smooth, round micro-beads.
Best of Luck! |

| I just started using Dermalogica's Daily Microfoliant and I love it. I use it every second day (because I personally feel exfoliating every day is too often for anybody). This product is gentle, using acids to exfoliate, not pumice. My skin is definately brighter since using it. |

Thanks for your suggestions. I am currently trying to check out all the exfoliating products as well as reading their reviews on MUA to try and find one that's right for my skin.
I would love to try Dr H's cleansing cream again but I think it was the smell of it that put me off last time? From what I can remember it smelt like yeast.
I have noticed that the pevonia exfoliating cream is only $30 on this site (compared to $60 in the local spa) so might just purchase that unless I can find another good one to try. |

| I would just use a microfiber cloth. They are great! NCN has one that is about $10, but I believe you can find them even cheaper. |

| I love EpidermX II. It is by far the best exfoliator that I've ever used. |
