Product Review:
Greetings Eco Fashionistas! I am sooo sorry I have gotten so bogged down with my new job. Well I want to talk to you about this amazing facial scrub I just stumbled upon at our local Organic Grocery that had samples of this. I fell in love instantly. On the packaging it says : Moroccan Argan Stem Cell + Chlorella Growth Factor Brightening Facial Scrub-all skin types-gentle exfoliating antioxidant scrub to stimulate new cell growth. (On a previous post, I have listed the benefits of using facial products with fruit/plant stem cells). You are probably wondering what are the benefits of Chlorella? On the Acure Organic's website it states, "Chlorella Growth Factor CGF" is clinically proven to protect collagen and elastin fibers from enzymes that destroy them.1 Acure's  Brightening Facial scrub not only remove impurities from your skin, but also slows the aging process on the elasticity of your facial skin, keeping your skin healthy and younger naturally.
True to their word, the exfoliants are from sea water and it feels very gentle on sensitive facial skin. The "green" smell is so refreshing with a hint of mint! As I rinsed it off my face, there were little suds. Afterwards my face felt fresh and clean, I HAD to buy this product. I have only used it twice this week with the sample. I bought the full bottle, 4 fl oz. for $11.99 on sale, normally this product goes for$14.99 in stores and on the Acure Organics website. I have bought an Acure Moisturizer, so I will do a review on that in the future. Have fun saving the Planet one little step at a time :).
