Clinique Sparkle Skin Body Exfoliating Cream

Exfoliation is vital to keep your skin looking its best. Lately, I have been experimenting with a variety of different exfoliating body scrubs. And though most of them work relatively well, some products stand out above the rest such as Clinique Sparkle Skin Body Exfoliating Cream.

This is a grainy scrub that isn’t too harsh, but also not too greasy or oily either. It comes in a jar, so you don’t have to worry about squeezing out the last bit from a tube. Best of all, it’s really effective. Soothing and softening dry, rough skin, this exfoliating cream leaves your skin feeling silky. It has a cooling, minty quality about it that gives you a refreshing boost.

If you use it right before shaving your legs, you’ll get an ultra-close shave that is unmatched. Wet your skin before applying. It’s great for heels, knees, elbows and anywhere else (outside of face, neck and sensitive areas).

I recommend using it at least three a week to remove dead skin cells and rejuvenate dull, dry skin. It’s priced at $20 for an 8.5 oz jar at Clinique.com, Nordstrom.com and your neighborhood Clinique counter.
