Step Away From The Scrub

My husband isn’t a big face-products guy. I’ve tried to convince him that moisturizing actually just feels really nice and doesn’t need to result in him smelling like a mango, but still: no.

Remember when I said a few weeks ago that the Simple Sense tool had recommended that I amp up my exfoliation efforts, and that my plan was to pick up Simple Skincare’s Smoothing Facial Scrub and put it right there on the sink next to my toothbrush so that I would a) remember to exfoliate in the first place and b) be able to cleanse and exfoliate in a single step? Well, I happen to already know that I like this product and that it’s a great way to get your exfoliating and cleansing done all at once. I know this because I used to have a full tube of the stuff sitting right there on my sink, all ready to go.

And my husband used the whole thing.

And then – this was even weirder – he asked me to pick up some more. Let me be clear again: this is not a face-products guy, and there he was actually requesting the presence of a face product in his life. Apparently he likes it because the little scrubber things (rice granules, if we’re being technical) don’t irritate his skin, and also help to prevent ingrown hairs after shaving.

I like it too.

Problem: solved.
