In any skin treatment, exfoliation is important. But you always have to make sure that the exfoliant you choose is the correct one for your skin. If you have normal skin, choose one with jojoba beads as they are gentle on your skin. For those with oily skin, it is still important to use an exfoliant, but not something which is harsh. Choose an exfoliator which contains charcoal, as the charcoal will absorb the excess oils. As for dry skin, you do not want want a product as harsh as one as you would use for oily skin because it is too drying. Since I have dry skin, I chose a product which works for normal and dry skin – Missha Cacao & Cream Facial Scrub.
The Missha Cacao & Cream Facial Scrub is creamy, contains light grains and smells a little bit chocolate. The cacao & creamy scrub helps remove dead skin cells and impurities, and provides a moisturizing after-feel. The Missha Cacao & Cream facial scrub is made of real cacao extract, shea butter, sunflower oil, lavender, and macadamia seed oil, so it’s extra creamy. The one thing that I like best is the creamy texture. The cocoa, rich in polyphenol, exerts antioxidant activities, helps contribute to anti-aging and making my skin feel elastic. There are just enough granules to exfoliate my skin, but creamy enough to help moisturize my skin. It feels as if I could use this product every night. The scrub is thick in consistency, almost like a thick yogurt or pudding. And since it has a thick consistency you only need a small amount to get the job done.
I have to admit, I was unsure about this product. It appeared to be more creamy than having granules. I did not think it would get enough dead skin off my face. But I was wrong. I used just a small amount to cover my face and removed it with a damp rag. It left my face feeling clean, clear and moisturized. It was a wonderful feel.
Missha states that this product is made for normal to dry skin. This is more than likely because of its texture, cacao and micro scrub. If you do so happen to have this type of skin, I think you will like it as it gets the job done, and one jar will last you awhile.
The Missha Cacao & Cream Facial Scrub retails for $13.00. It may purchased at www.misshaus.com.
