Best Scrub for Dry Skin Ever! Sia Desert Aloe and Jojoba Exfoliates Without Drying: Eco-Chick Tested
I love the idea of scrubbing my face; it just seems like such a great idea to get all the extra bits and goops off! (Especially in the summer when the goops are in high proportion.) But alas, whenever I use a scrub of any sort, I end up with tight, itchy face, a classic sign that one has overcleansed (this is not good for your skin as it gets all unbalanced; skin, like your temperamental cat, likes consistency). Yup, I have dry skin, and heretofore, any scrub I have used has made it feel even drier.
So I was torn between wanting to exfoliate, and being unable to. And sometimes just going to town and then having to rub coconut oil on my face to make up for the over-drying.
Enter Sia Botanics Desert Aloe & Jojoba scrub. It’s amazing! Seriously, I can scrub away and not only does it feel like it’s really getting the job done, the beads are made of jojoba (not water-polluting plastic like many conventional scrubs). It is all held in this cooling, gel-like material, which feels especially lovely during the summer.
