I've been in search of the PERFECT exfoliator for years, like 13, and I've finally found it; however, it wasn't until I became pregnant and basically had to switch out my usual go-to products for more natural options.

Allow me to introduce you to THE scrub that I will now use forever more:

Here's why it's the shit:

I have super sensitive skin and it doesn't cause any irritation or break me out (I'm also highly prone to zits, so the fact that it doesn't throw off my complexion is a BLESSING.

It has French green clay, which helps absorb any excess oil on my skin, organic lemon peel granules to help dissolve any oil plugs, and sea kelp to help soften the skin so any plugged pores can unclog with ease.

Finely milled walnut shells also help loosen any oil plugs, as well as gently slough away any dead skin cells AKA flaky skin that tends to create an uneven texture when you apply makeup.

The chlorophyll it contains not only gives the formula its rich green hue, it also helps to deliver oxygen to your cells, keeping your complexion looking fresh.

It's free of silicones, parabens, sulfates, mineral oil, and petrolatum, and is also $8.

Since I started using it seven months ago, I've used it twice a week and have seen such a difference in my skin (see how fresh it looks in the pic above?!). Honestly, my complexion has never been more glowy, smooth, and blackhead-free, which means my pregnant self couldn't be happier!
