Facial exfoliation is essential to any skincare routine, and finding the best product for your budget can be difficult. I’ve tried out many different brands over the years, and slowly discovered all of my favorites for any budget. From high end to the best drugstore, read on to find your new holy grail face scrub!
Dr. Brandt’s exfoliant is the priciest option on the list, but claims to eliminate the need for professional clinical exfoliation procedures. The lemony fresh scent doesn’t disappoint and I especially love that this product has no GMOs or synthetic fragrances or dyes. Since it is on the pricier side, I only break out this product when my skin is in need of a deep cleaning. It never fails to brighten my skin and keeps it from drying out like some other exfoliants can do.
A cleanser and exfoliant in one, this Suki scrub formula is made of soft sugar crystals infused with lemongrass and chamomile, which rids skin of dirt and oil while buffing away dead skin cells. I love that this scrub is made with a fine sugar so it’s not too abrasive and leaves my skin feeling soft and super clean. I recently ran out of this product and my skincare routine is really missing it!
This super gentle exfoliator is a great option for regular use in your skincare routine. It is gentle enough to use 2-3 times per week and has skin brightening ingredients that won’t strip away the natural oils you need for flawless skin. I received this exfoliant in a Birchbox and quickly purchased the full sized product.
An oldie but goodie, the St. Ives Apricot Scrub has been in my medicine cabinet since my acne prone middle school years. With a list of awards and a favorite in the beauty world, this is a deep cleaning scrub that’s paraben free, hypoallergenic, sulfate free, has 100% natural exfoliants, and the list goes on. Apricot is the key ingredient, which makes it smell amazing and offers a gentle yet deep clean. I use this exfoliant the most; it does not dry out my skin and makes it bright and glowing, plus the price tag cannot be beat!
