Forever Living – Smoothing Exfoliator
This smoothing exfoliator won the Woman & Home Beauty Award 2021 in the Best Exfoliator category. It is eco-friendly using natural jojoba and bamboo – no nasty plastic microbeads. It combines ingredients that gently reveal healthy, glowing skin. Round jojoba beads massage the skin and penetrate hard-to-reach places for ultimate cleansing while sustainably sourced granules of bamboo delicately remove dead skin cells.
Natural extracts including bromelain, papain and lemon essential oil help regenerate the skin. Bromelain, an enzyme obtained from pineapple, destroys keratin, a protein in dead skin cells. Papain from papaya is rich in vitamins A, C, and E as well as pantothenic acid, better known as B5—a water-soluble vitamin crucial for healthy skin. Lemon essential oil then richly moisturises and hydrates the skin for a youthful glow.
Grape juice extract and other antioxidants ensure effective and gentle exfoliation to reveal glowing skin. Designed to be used 2-3 times a week, exfoliated skin feels silky and smooth and is primed for better absorption of subsequent skincare products.
Price £19.18 available online
