Umm if you mean an exfoliator, without being too scientific, I understand it gently abrases "old" skin, therefore promoting regeneration of new healthier looking skin. I use menscience, quite expensive but very good. I use it around 2-3 days a week.


I have used a good skin regieme since I was around 22 and now at 25 my skin looks decidely younger than my friends. My ex gf thought I was around 20 when we met a year ago. It does work.

what is that regieme and where can one find the products that you use?

It is often a facial scrub (like a facial sea salt scrub, it can be made of things like rice) that brings all the impurities in your skin to the surface; it cleanses your pores. Do not do this at home or in a spa before a big night, because when you're exfoliating it can cause a breakout or a lot of zits.

Only do this 1-2 times a week.

Best product in my opinion is Origins (see a consultant for the best men's produce for you). Add water to make it more gentle/less abrasive. There are also brands like Clarins Paris or Arbonne International that are also decent. Origins, Clarins Paris and Arbonne are all organic, higher end expensive products that last a long time and have good results (the best compared to lower end products like Clinique)

St. Ives Apricot Scrub is the best exfoliant you're likely to find for the money. You can get it at Wal-mart for like $4. The stuff has been around for YEARS, and it works great. give it a shot before you spend too much money on other stuff.
