Walnut Scrubs Are Canceled: Try These Gentle Exfoliators Instead

Exfoliation is key to any good skin care routine. Just like peeling out of your skinny jeans or kicking off your heels after a long day, there's no greater feeling than sloughing off dirt, grime and dead skin cells off your face. There are better ways to get smooth and radiant skin than by abusing your face with crushed up walnuts. Try these gentle exfoliators!

Do you like it rough? Then this one is for you. This exfoliating face mask has a similar sensation of a walnut scrub, but it's far more gentle, since the all-natural black sugar grains dissolve as you massage them into your face. This scrub also pulls double duty with ingredients like shea butter and lanolin that leave your face hydrated after you wash it off. If you've got that thirsty skin, give this one a try.

Let me introduce to you my can't-live-without exfoliator: While physical exfoliators clean out the junk on the top layer of your skin, BHAs work on a deeper level to clean out your pores to help reduce blackheads and excess sebum. This option contains 5% natural BHA and hydrating ingredients in a potent formula perfect for oily and acne-prone skin.

The Dr. Oracle A-Thera Tea Tree Peeling Sticks mix together chemical exfoliators AHA and BHA into one powerful acne spot treatment. The AHA works on the top layer of skin to remove dead skin cells, and the BHA dives deep underneath to help blemishes disappear faster — which means it's also great for targeting tough cystic acne. Use this with Cosrx Acne Pimple Master Patch, $6, and you've yourself got a pimple-killing machine.

I love BHA so much that I even sneak it into my daily face moisturizer! This lightweight moisturizer goes on thin and keeps my oily skin hydrated without extra shine by removing excess sebum. Use this in your a.m. routine and your t-zone will thank you!
