I have used this laura mercier fae polish for a long time. This product is for the all face. Even can be used on your body. No smell. The only drawback is the large particle. If you rub your face hard, it will hurt you a little, but the effect is very perferct. After washing you face with it, your skin looks like an egg. It contains 3.4oz, really durable, so I used for a long long period. Btw, I bought it from Sephora.

How I use youtuberās idea š”
I used to use the facial scrub to replace the cleanser and makeup remover. After using the facial scrub, on the face of itļ¼the whole face looks clean enough. My skin seems like a shelled eggļ¼every pore is very refreshing. However, I realized this was actually the wrong idea since my skin turned to be sensitive.
The face just looks clean, but itās not. A make up youtuber gave me an idea. She is an oily skin, she suggested using cleanser then using facial scrub. This is the right step!
First use the facial cleanser and then use the scrub. After the facial cleanser simply cleans the face, use the scrub to remove the dead skin. Because she has oily skin, she uses it every one week. But for dry skin like me, once a half month is fine.
When using the facial scrub, first clean the whole face with mild cleanser. It is recommended to use mild amino acid low foaming cleanser. After cleaning, as far as the t-shape are rich in lipid exudation, strengthen the use of scrub. Massage your skin for 2-3 minutes, and then wash them off. Finally, gently wipe the cheek and T area with cotton pad, gently wipe off the residual scrub, and then use the toner with astringent effect to moisturize the skin.
Facial scrub is mainly used to remove dead skin, as to achieve the purpose of deep cleaning. Sensitive skin and dry skin have weak facial cuticle. Excessive use of facial scrub will thin the cuticle and burst tiny vessels, which will cause redness and allergy on the face.
This method not only ensures the daily cleanness of my skin, but also gives me an accurate period about the frequency of using facial scrub.

these are two hg products i have used for years and love them both. the philosophy cleanser is simple & fresh. i tend to use this in the morning and use a stronger cleanser at night. the laura mercier face polish is amazing. I use this about 2 times per week as my physical exfoliant. also great to use on your body. itās not to harsh, but works perfectly to remove dead/dry skin.

I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Drunk elephant ... they were one of the first brands I tried when I got into skincare that really made a difference in my skin.
My daily routine consists of multiple DE products (specifically bhydra, cfirma, tlc framboos, ctango, and Apassioni) and I donāt see myself ever being without them!!
Itās safe to say, Iām drunk in love!š
Back to the main point of this post... the new Slaai cleansing balm (which also came with a diptyque candleš) and so far Iām impressed, just as expected!
Iāve never been a cleansing balm person to be honest, so I donāt have much to compare to, but this balm has removed my stubborn waterproof mascara AND leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated so Iām SOLD!!
I have yet to try it with the bamboo exfoliation but Iām really excited to try it because I love a good physical exfoliation every so often!!
This Skin&Co product is nice. My first time using it. So far, I like it. It gently exfoliates skin with grounded apricot kernel. While also delivering hydration. The gommage has pure truffle extract and sweet almond oil. Helps maintain skin's natural moisture, and provides anti-reddening properties.
Was very soothing for my face, and gave it a fresh, glowy look and feel. Like baby soft skin. Didn't notice much difference yet, as far as the anti-reddening part goes. But it feels so lovely while using, and did gently exfoliate quite well. Smells sweet and so delicious! And they're cruelty free!š°Clean natural skincare.š
Murad Skin Smoothing Polish
{What does it claim?} It is a rich creamy polishing scrub that helps relieve skin congestion & smooths away embedded imperfections without stripping the skin of natural oils & moisture.
Some key ingredients; Witch hazel & cinnamon to tighten pores & balance oil production. Starflower extract to soften and moisturize skin.
{Texture/Consistency?} A thick creamy scrub, kind of similar in texture to wet sand but very fine grains.
{My thoughts?} I have had this for the longest time and I never have tried it until a couple months ago and Iām still unsure of how I feel about it. I honestly feel it is a bit too drying and intense on my skin on my face, I prefer to use this as a pre shave exfoliator. I find it works great on my body! It leaves my skin moisturized & my skin bright & smooth! My face...turns a bit red & irritated. It was $36 for this 3.5 oz tube, but I personally wouldnāt repurchase, I am only using since I purchased in the first place! I would rather use a chemical exfoliator for my face since they work better for my skin type.

*Sigh* another disappointment...
Again, me scratching my head over here, wondering about these āhighā reviews...
So, when I did put it on my face, it was weird and filmy and white. Thank goodness for double-cleansing, else my face was not going to be pretty. Even after double-cleansing, my toner was still picking up way more makeup than I was happy about - and keep in mind, this was after my āminimalistā makeup routine that is essentially four products, including a moisturizer.
Letās not even talk about how pathetic this product is with eye makeup. No way would I buy this for myself. Youād do better with Pondās cold cream, old school style, than this stuff.

fresh - Sugar Face Polish Exfoliator
An innovative formula made with real brown sugar and strawberries that exfoliates and hydrates all skin types to instantly reveal a softer, smoother, more radiant complexion.
This innovative formula is enriched with revitalizing brown sugar and antioxidant-rich wild strawberries, which work together to gently dissolve dead skin cells and reveal perfectly nourished skin. It also includes hydrating seed oils that leave the skin soft and supple. An invigorating aroma from a natural blend of citrus oils further enhances the experience of using Sugar Face Polish. The formula is recommended for all skin types and will not sting or cause redness.
Formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Phthalates
Color: Brown
Texture and Consistency: Thick, grainy, slightly sticky like jam
Scent: Sweet, Citrus'y'
Application: I apply it exactly as suggested. I use a scoop or two and massage it gently in circular motions on clean but slightly damp face. I leave it on for 10 minutes like a mask while I do nothing. Rinse it off with water and pat dry.
Feel and Effect on Face: The sugar crystals dissolve within initial 20 seconds of scrubbing. The crystals of brown sugar are pretty fine and there is not much exfoliation with this, but the skin does feel very soft. It leaves a greasy residue or a film which is left on as a mask. On rinsing the greasiness is reduced but there is still a film left. It acts as a moisturizer and does not dries out the skin like normal exfoliators do. It did not break me out nor there was any irritation, redness or tingling
Verdict: I like this product not as an exfoliator but more as a part of pampering skincare regimen. It is not like the traditional exfoliators as the sugar granules are very fine and gentle. They dissolve very quickly. The face does not feel squeaky clean on using this like other exfoliators do. There is no visible brightening effect seen like I usually see on using more gritty scrubs. In fact this face polish leaves a slight greasy film that does not dries the skin. It leaves a moisturized, hydrated, soft and supple skin. It is a good scrub for someone with dry and extra dry skin. The scrub is very mild and can be used multiple times a week. I prefer using it in bath and leave it as is, if I am at home. Other times I clean my face with a mild face cleanser to get rid of greasy residue. I do not want any residue to interfere with my serum or oil applications. Very little amount of product is needed, so a tub would last for really long time.
I like the product and I use this in rotation a lot of time. It performs very differently than other scrubs. Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Face Polish, Caudalie Deep Cleansing Exfoliator, Origins Modern Friction⢠Nature's Gentle Dermabrasion, CLINIQUE 7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse-Off Formula, Kate Somerville ExfoliKate® Intensive Exfoliating Treatment are few amazing exfoliators or scrubs that I use often and I love them all. Some little less, some more. They all perform very differently and I use them in rotation depending on the state of my skin and seasons.

Oil Control Skincare:
Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel is intended to brighten your skin, clarify, and control oil production.
This oil control skincare product does control oil however it dries out your skin and worst of all clogs your pores.
Itās a little thicker than a serum and but still a light gel like consistency; it goes on fairly nicely if you wet your face prior. However if your face is not wet enough itās a pain to apply so make sure you splash some water on your face first!!
I went to my dermatologist once I started using this product to check up on my skincare routine and she said she had never seen my face more clogged in my entire life. I then had to schedule an appointment for dermaplaning and a hydrafacial to unclog my pores. The amount of dirt that was trapped under my skin was insane!!! I used it for two an a half months before my dermatologist told me to stop using it. I wont EVER recommend to a friend and will definitely never use this again. Too expensive for horrible results.
