If you’re not not using a face scrub, you need to be, especially if you are over 40.  At our age, exfoliation is key to keeping skin fresh and youthful. After much experimentation, I’ve discovered an idyllic scrub–Aveeno Positively Ageless Resurfacing Scrub.

Formulated with Active Naturals natural Shiitake complex, and fortified with vitamin C, this gentle exfoliating scrub removes dirt and oil while polishing away dead skin cells to reveal smoother younger looking skin.  Shiitake mushrooms are a natural antioxidant that work with the skin’s own natural renewal process and have been shown in scientific studies to have many anti-aging benefits.  Vitamin C helps to lessen sun damaged skin and  even skin tone.

The scrubbing beads are not too harsh and there is plenty of cleanser mixed in so it is gentle enough for every to every other day use. It doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight or dry but extremely soft and bright.  I’ve been using a retinol cream for the past few weeks and it really dries out my skin. I keep this scrub in my shower to rid me of the flakiness from the retinol cream. I love the fresh and soothing scent! 

Aveeno Positively Ageless Resurfacing Scrub is Oil-free, noncomedogenic,  allergy and ophthalmologist tested.

Aveeno Positively Ageless Resurfacing Scrub retails for about $8 and can be found at most major drugstores. Have you tried it?
