Exfoliates are one of those things that are either used up entirely until the last squeeze or its pushed back to the back of my beauty cabinet until further notice, luckily this was my main squeeze for months to follow and wasn't acquainted with all the other fellow disappointed products.
Going back to November of last year I was at my local grocery store scouting for a new exfoliator to help scour the dry skin from my face and hopefully restore a bit of life into it as well. ( Was I asking too much?) Looking at all of the exfoliants, there was at least 20 different ones, so I narrowed it down to the Essano range , which I have enjoyed so far, there were a few different types but I chose the Cinnamon one because I was interested to see how this would feel on my skin since cinnamon smells and tastes amazing, I wanted to see what it would do with my skin.
After washing my face with warm water, I use a $1 size amount on my fingertips and starting at my nose, I work my way up to my forehead, down the sides of temples towards my cheeks and chin, it is lightly scented and the formula is creamy which fuses into my skin leaving just the tiny grains. This scrub is gentle and it doesn't feel like its removing much when it actually is. I like to use a warm cloth to remove the scrub from my face before washing it with warm water. Afterwards my skin feels slightly tighter, smooth to the touch and it looks brighter. I use this at least 5 times a week, and I love to do this before I do a full face of makeup, it makes applying foundation effortless.
It was such a relief to find an exfoliant I could rely on, I have repurchased this already.
Smells divine. Feels lovely on my skin. Leaves my skin so smooth and fresh. Both my teenage girls use this product too. It's a winner in our household.
