Go For the Glow

Want to know the difference between skin that's so-so and a complexion that's out-of-this-world? Exfoliation. Gentle scrubbing removes dead skin cells (largely responsible for dullness, rough patches and uneven skin tone and texture) from the surface, revealing softer, healthy-looking skin.

Replenix Fortified Exfoliation Packettes contain green tea and bamboo extracts, along with moisturizing conditioners to gently remove dead skin cells and soothe delicate skin. Perhaps the best part of this yummy scrub is the way it heats up when activated with water, allowing you to feel it deep clean your pores and remove weekly dirt and debris.

Exfoliate one to three times a week and make sure you're extra gentle. Move the scrub particles in upward circular motions and move just the particles, not your skin (if you're pulling and tugging your skin while exfoliating, you're being a little too rough!). Another benefit of weekly exfoliation is that your other skin care products (cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and masques) penetrate the skin a lot more effectively, giving you better results.

*Tip: Exfoliate the night before a big event to get a smooth, glowing complexion. However, if you have sensitive skin scrub a few nights before the occasion, in order to prevent next-day redness and irritation.
