Hello Gorgeous! It is back to school time already in Arizona! Some schools are back in and many start the first week of August. A great and affordable way to get your skin in tip top shape for back to school is the St. Ives brand. They have been doing some major reworking of their brand and most of the products are now sulfate and paraben free. I recently tested 4 of the facial scrubs and I'm so happy to say the grit is much finer than it used to be for a gentler exfoliation. It's a good practice to exfoliate at least once a week. St. Ives has 4 types of scrubs: Fresh Skin for normal Blemish Control for acne prone skin which contains green tea Sensitive skin for easily irritated skin Timeless for anti-aging skin concerns The St. Ives scrubs are available everywhere at mass retailers and online for under $5. Start today to exfoliate summer burned skin and show some healthy radiant skin for the first day at school! Enjoy!
