Kate Somerville ExfoliKate and Philosophy's Microdelivery Exfoliation Kit

Twice a week, which I've tried to designate as Wednesdays and Sundays so I remember, I exfoliate my skin to leave it soft and glowing.

I wanted to share two of my favorite exfoliators so you can give them a try! A Sephora associate recently talked me into Kate Somerville's ExfoliKate, which totally rocks. It contains Salicylic Acid which is important for zapping wrinkles, but it also has Aloe Vera, honey and Vitamin E to make your skin soft and supple. You'll want to apply it in a circular motion all over your face for about 30 seconds and then let it sit for two minutes. After that, gently wash off with a washcloth. You'll love the way your skin glows afterwards. Plus, it smells yummy which is an extra bonus. I started with the smallest bottle, which costs $19 at Sephora.

I also really love Philosophy's Microdelivery Exfoliation Kit. This is a three-part system, although they seem to only sell it in two parts now. First, you want to wash your face with the exfoliating wash (sold separately). Then you use the small tub of the orange exfoliater and rub that into your skin in a circular motion for about 30 seconds. Leave on for about a minute, and then spread a small amount of the activating gel all over and let that sit for a couple of minutes. Then gently wash off with a washcloth. This will also make your face feel super smooth and fresh. The kit is $40 and the wash is $8-$58, depending on the size.

Good luck and keep looking beautiful!
