The One Treatment That Will Make The Biggest Difference in Your Skin

As skin cells move upwards towards the surface they become more and more loaded with a protein called keratin. Keratin gives this barrier such strong properties, making it such an effective barrier that it is often difficult to bring active ingredients through it to treat the underlying skin. This probably helps account for any sad history of acne treatment failure most of us experience, as well as lack of results from anti aging treatments.

These are The Best Exfoliators I've Ever Tried

Konjac Sponge
I feel like it don't get enough spotlight as it should on blogs and youtube. I believe these are going to be the next big trend in skin care - if used right!!
Konjac root is an Asian-cultivated, root-based vegetable that the Japanese have traditionally used as a as a calming, exfoliating sponge for delicate skin. It is naturally alkaline and balances the acidity of the skin’s impurities and oils. Do not add a cleanser, some cleansers will change the PH and that's essential for this sponge to do it's magic.
It's very soft nothing like a luffa (I know this is the first association that comes to mind). Its cleanses the skin like nothing I've ever experienced before, so it's a little hard to describe, it almost feels like there's a silky film left behind after, but it's actually your buffed skin with a balanced PH. So the only comparison that comes to mind is a nail buffer and how your nail feels like to touch after you removed all those ridges.
This is not a make up remover, I would do this on a clean face just like you would with a peeling mask.  Another important note - these do have a short expiration after opened and you will need to replace it every month. After using it, store the sponge in a dry place. Then when you want to use again soak in water and allow the sponge to fully absorb the water.
Keep in mind these are all 100%  konjac root so there's no big difference between the various brand.
Some options:
My Konjac Sponge  $10 on amazon
boscia - Konjac Cleansing Sponge $18 at sephora

Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel Sensitive
I heard good things about the full strength peel and wanted to purchase it for a while, but couldn't get a hold of it sine it was sold out at both Ulta and Whole food's locations I went to. I thought that must be a sign this product is pretty amazing if it is at such high demand. I picked up the sensitive
version instead thinking it's probably better to start with the more mild one anyways.
A combination of acids tends to be more potent at melting away dead layers of skin as they lower the PH and work simultaneously and this is formulated with: malic acid from organic apple juice, citric acid from lemons, tartaric acid from white grapes, glycolic acid from raw cane sugar & lactic acid from organic milk. 
I only started using this recently and I can't believe how quickly it has worked. I have acne scars that tend to linger a little long, and this peel toned them down completely.  I use it two ways--as a mask and also as a spot treatment on any zits on my face, which will tremendously reduce them overnight - but I would do this only after you've tried the peel several times and saw your skin tolerates it well.


Vivo Per Lei Facial Peeling / Vino Vera Facial Peel with Resveratrol
What I love about these is that they are acid free. Will not strip away vital oils or irritate the skin, yet visibly rolls, lifts, and sweeps away dead skin cells when massaged onto skin. I couldn't believe how much dead skin sloughed off with just a little gentle rubbing.
As you massage it little capsules break and form a gel with the rest of the ingredients. The gel’s molecular structure is capable of aggregation in response to a change in temperature (body temperature) and allows for its ability to suck up all the dirt and debris. This is a unique physical property, since it is generally known that solution 'liquify' (viscosity decreases) with an increase in temperature.
At first this might seem 'gimiki' as you will see the gelling reaction starting to rub off and ball up, but as you continue to rub, you will notice those become dirty as actual dead skin cells will adhere to, and when washed off, it's clear that all the dead skin has been removed.
*Make sure you wash it off completely!! Debris layers with the gel might attach to little fine hairs on skin so use a wet washcloth or a towel to remove completely. I love using this mainly on my neck and to remove blackheads on my nose.

Noxzema Triple Clean Anti-Blemish Pads
The ultimate cleansing pads in my opinion. I've tried other fancy shmancy brands but find these simply do their job.  With abrasive texture that helps slug off effectively the dead layers of skin that Salicylic acid dissolves. The pad will be dirty even after I removed my makeup and washed with a cleanser….all there on the pad in it's glory for you to look at with satisfaction (do you all feel this way or is it just me LOL!!)
Simply swipe away..
This is what helped me keep my acne at bay the most for over 6 years now. I somehow try new things, forget about it and always end up coming back. This VERY is strong and does contain alcohol, so it does dry the skin a little bit. If you are on the sensitive side the other options are more suitable. I follow with a moisturizing aloe vera gel. Do not use this or any other Salicylic Acid product around your eyes. I recommend doing this at night since the skin is a bit shiny after (and supper clean) and I always recommend using a BHA product at night as the acid makes the skin sensitive to the sun. I DON'T recommend you use it more then twice a week.

Wishing you flawless skin!!
