I won’t deny that this whole blogging thingimajig expanded my beauty arsenal like I’m running a hole in the wall store. Our bathroom alone has all sorts of skincare and bath products that will probably last me over a year, #noshame
This leads me to my next point; the way I wash my face varies from time to time depending on the product(s) I try. Cleansing brush, cream facial wash, clear facial wash, face foam, konjac sponge, exfoliant, the list goes on #fact
For today’s post, let me introduce you to Beautisol Exscrub Me? Citrus Face Exfoliant ($17, 2 fl oz/ 60ml).
Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Polyethylene (Beads), Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Jojoba Esters (Beads), Behenyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, Cetyl Alcohol, Dicaprylyl Ether, Glyceryl Stearate, Sucrose Stearate, Xanthan Gum, Titanium Dioxide, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Lonicera Caprifolium (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Squalane, Citrus Tangerina (Tangerine) Peel Oil, Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Citric Acid, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil*, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Water, Potassium Sorbate, Carbomer, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Tocotrienols, Elaeis Guineensis (Palm) Oil, Phytic Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Alcohol, Tocopherol (D-alpha), Passiflora Incarnata (Passionflower) Flower Extract *Certified Organic
In a nutshell, Exscrub Me? is an exfoliant with micro-beads that help slough off dead skin cells. Just so you know, I exfoliate only twice a week because doing it excessively does more damage to our skin, i.e redness, irritation, dryness.
Unlike other exfoliants I have tried, Exscrub Me?’s beads are dense and quite abrasive so if you have sensitive skin, you have to be very careful scrubbing your face. A pea-size amount is good enough for my face. I usually pay attention around my nose where I have whiteheads the most. I like the citrusy scent and the overall feel of my face after rinsing: taut, smooth and refreshingly clean!
If you’re into #faceexfoliant , Beautisol is running a Buy One, Get One with coupon code BOGO2014 (valid until June 31, 2014).

Anything Citrus catches my attention!!!
ditto
I have super duper sensitive skin and I have this product but haven't tried it yet because when I tested on my hand… it did feel a little more abrasive than I would have liked. I will have to take it in stride. I love the scent of it though and am gonna try in little areas of my face 😉
yeah, try it first because the beads are on the rougher side
Sounds like something for me 😀
great to know
This is the cutest scrub I have ever seen Kath! Such cute pink scrubs!
cute and citrusy
This peaked my interested until I saw the very obvious microbeads. I refuse to purchase products with poly-beads anymore.
hopefully this line will reformulate
This makes a great manicure scrub too! 🙂
great idea!
I love love this scrub!!!
awesome!
This sounds lovely, and the scent too! I may have to pass because of my super sensitive skin. My rosacea and eczema are in a good place I don't want to rock the boat!
yep, don't fix if ain't broke
I love the name of this!!! Can't wait to try!
clever name, excuse me? lol
Ooohhh this sounds amazing. I am with you on the exfoliating 2 times a week, I used to do more and irritated my skin. 🙁 This product sounds great and I can totally see it being a great addition with a konjac sponge for sure!!! Great post!
You're into skincare so I'm happy to know you use konjac sponge too 🙂
I got this scrub as well, and while I enjoy the microdermabrasion-like effect, I wonder if it will need to be reformulated due to the recent bans on plastic microbeads.
I agree. Hopefully it does reformulate
I can't use anything with microbeads in them, and now that they are starting to get banned in places I don't see myself trying them.
yep, hopefully this line will reformulate soon
I've been using this and I agree, might be a little much for sensitive skin. I have really been liking it.
It's definitely a strong exfoliant!
Oooh I love a good exfoliant! I think having an excess of products to use/test is one of the perks of the trade.. =)
I use the St. Ives Apricot scrub. It gets down and gets scrub-a-licious with my skin and the exfoliant is natural rather than plastic beads. 🙂
This sounds really nice. I don't exfoliate as much I should but this is reminding me to do it!
I use Ahava and Kate Sommerville, strong exfoliants sometimes leave my skin very dried up 🙁
I use Ahava and Kate Sommerville and am very happy with it, strong exfoliants dry me up too much 🙁
I'm all about scrubs!!! I am wary of the strong exfoliant. I've never used anything abrasive on my skin, so I wonder if this would be good.
I love anything citrus, and exfoliators, too. Those beads look huge! I wonder if they are the kind that are slowly being eliminated with the whole micro-plastics ban.
I love a good citrus-scented scrub!
I love citrus scents. I am not sure about the abrasiveness of the formula though.
Bummer about the polyethylene… looks like they're gonna have to switch it up if the MBFWA passes!
I love Murad AHA/BHA scrub–the beads are really small but it gets the job done gently.
That looks and probably smells adorable!
That is one great deal !
Excrub Me is the cutest name like ever.
My favorite exfoliator is Dermae's Microdermabrasion scrub!
