6 Gentle Exfoliators That Don't Feel Like Sandpaper

We know that after a long day of makeup and walking the city streets, there's nothing better than coming home and reaching for a facial scrub at the end of the day. It is the ideal solution for removing dead skin cells and nasty marks, and revealing beautiful, radiant skin. On the other hand, using a facial scrub that is too aggressive can backfire and result in dryness, irritation, and pain due to the hard granules. Ouch. To avoid this, we recommend using a more forgiving formula, such as one of the six listed here.
