Lately it has been my nightly* goal to step out of

Lately it has been my nightly* goal to step out of the shower with that photoshopped feeling.  I’m not sure I want to cleanse my skin as much as I want to blur it into a flat, flawless surface.

But … I don’t want to invest in a facial scrub that’s meant to be used once a week and then burn through that baby (and maybe my face?) in a couple of days.

So imagine my joy when I discovered this megapixel tube of face and body scrub from Alba’s Natural AcneNote line at the good ‘ole drugstore.

                 

Weighing in at 227g (that’s 8 oz. - which is 'body wash size’), this thing is so chock full of value it might as well have come from Costco.  It exfoliates and cleanses as well as packing 2% salicylic acid, which lately I’ve been finding I really need to keep my skin clear. The formula has no artificial fragrances or colors and it’s sulfate, paraben and petrochemical free. The scent is great too - really lush with bergamot.

Also, I love that the low price means I can shamelessly use it on my body … because when you can use at 2000px semi-opaque eraser, why would you use a 10px clone stamp?

Does this: A daily face and body scrub with a great formula and excellent value - best for oily or acne-prone skin
