I love Dermalogica’s Daily Microfoliant. It is a facial exfoliant containing a rice-based enzyme powder packed with papain, salicylic acid, and oatmeal. These ingredients exfoliate skin cells naturally without any abrasive effects on the skin. Unlike typical exfoliators which generally contain big particles that scratch the gentle surface of the skin, the Daily Microfoliant uses a fine powder to exfoliate. A small amount of this powder added with water is applied to the skin surface and softly rubbed with the finger tips. Leave on your skin for a minute to let the natural exfoliation of the enzymes occur and then rinse. It leaves the skin smooth, fresh and bright. Once you use it you won’t be able to live without it.

Salicylic Acid also known as beta-hydroxy acid is used to exfoliate the skin surface. It helps to repair damage from UV rays as well as to fight wrinkles and acne.

When applied topically, it penetrates into the skins pores to improve the texture of skin. It can be used on sensitive skin and can help with balancing the skin tone and color.

Salicylic acid is also very effective on skin that breaks out easily by preventing clogged pores.

Here are a few products contain salicylic acid:

Kiehl’s Blue Moisturizer, Dermalogica Skin Renewal Booster, and Philosophy Hope in a Bottle.

This is a great shampoo to give your hair a boost of volume and bring out your color. If you have colored hair that is flat, dull, and dry, I would highly recommend PureOlogy PureVolume Shampoo. It’s formulated to preserve your hair color while adding soft volume. Unlike many volume shampoos which can leave your hair dried out, this shampoo hydrates and adds shine. It really is a great combination for tired looking colored hair. And with added botanicals of organic Lavender, Ylang Ylang, and Sandalwood, it leaves your hair smelling herby fresh.
