exfoliate away '08 - with crabtree & evelyn and st. ives.

new year, new skin.

i re-discovered the joy of exfoliation at the end of 2008. having a ritual to exfoliate face and body at least twice a week makes the difference between winter-dull vs. glowing skin. here are the best exfoliators i've found - one for face and one for body.

face:
i used to think all the hype about st. ive's apricot scrub was just that. but then i had a major breakout while trapped my parent's house in florida and this was all that was on-hand. somehow this inexpensive scrub saved my face!

body:
for body, i can't get enough of crabtree & evelyn's floral body smoother.

most body exfoliants have either a sugar or a salt base. this one has both salt and sugar, plus lavender buds - meaning you get three different size particles to exfoliate you - this is uber-effective. my skin is unbelievably soft after using it.

it runs $34.50, but its a pretty big jar, so it's still a good deal.

renew your skin, beauties!
