Why seek out the best vegan facial scrubs?
As you know your skin is constantly regenerating, which leaves dead skin cells on the surface. That often results in oil build-up and/or clogged pores. This is why its so important to exfoliate, via facial scrubs.
Exfoliating agitates the surface of the skin to remove the topmost layer of dead skin cells and stimulates cell turnover. This is the secret beauty weapon for ageless, plump, glowing skin.
So as you can see exfoliating is a pretty big deal. That’s why choosing the wrong brand can have detrimental effects. Often facial scrubs contain plastic micro-beads, synthetic fragrances, harsh abrasives, concentrated synthetic acids, and alcohol. All of these things are harmful to both your skin and the environment.
Thus, since exfoliating can be a bit intense, to avoid damaging your skin its important to choose a facial scrub with all organic, natural ingredients that are beneficial for your skin, gentle, and effective. After all, this is your face that we’re talking about and you want to preserve it’s beauty as much as possible, starting with a quality facial scrub.
