I’m a huge proponent of exfoliation – it’s the only way to remove dead skin and reveal fresh, beautiful, young skin. I typically prefer scrubs and pads to gels just because I feel like I get quicker results and can remove flakiness much more easily. Of all the scrubs I’ve tried, I must admit that this Origins exfoliator is one of the absolute best.

Made with papaya, apricot and mango, this scrub does the trick to really brighten your face. And lives up to its clever name. It smells so lovely and boasts a deep level of exfoliation, so you know it’ll leave your face smelling and looking great. While it isn’t exactly cheap, I highly recommend it regardless because I’m a firm believer that you should never skimp when it comes to your skin. You’ll have it forever and need to look after it!

It’s no wonder that it won a 2014 Martha Stewart Weddings Big Day Beauty Award. And I trust few wedding sites as much as I do Martha’s. I basically always swear by anything Martha Stewart in general…

Anyway, please comment below if you’ve tried this scrub and let me know how it went for you! I love talking about beauty products and sharing tips!
