Winter Time Exfoliation For The Body

With the winter weather causing dry flakey skin, exfoliation is a must. We tend to spend countless dollars on skin care products that focus on buffing away dead skin on our face but what about providing that same service to our body? Sure there are many different types of sponges and loufas that target exfoliation but I have to be honest… sometimes they gross me out. It's not just the fact that it accumulates the dead skin we are sloughing off but also the fact that it hangs in our showers damp for hours, yuck. Maybe this is me being a little on the phobic side but regardless I have a better, more sanitary alternative.

This product is not only affordable, being less than $4.00 for a gigantic bottle, St. Ives Exfoliating Body Wash is both hypoallergenic and paraben-free. One of the key reasons you should exfoliate is that by getting rid of the top layer of dead flakey skin, your moisturizer will soak in deeper, leaving you much more smooth and hydrated. I have very sensitive skin and this product has been a wonderful, gentle way to exfoliate, never causing irritation. As you can tell, I have very long hair, which I love to try new products on and unfortunately … this can sometimes mean the annoyance an occasional breakout on my back, which no girl wants. This product helps to prevent breakouts giving your back the pampering it deserves, which not only feels amazing but it also leaves my back feeling extra clean and soft.  This is my second bottle now and I absolutely love this stuff! I also use this before shaving and it helps to achieve a nice close shave while also preventing ingrown hairs - a major plus. This is not only a great tool for the winter time but this will be the perfect product going into spring and summer, as people begin to use self tanners, as It will help to cut down on patchy or streaky application. At such a bargain price, it's definitely worth a try.
