I have had so much success thus far with the new Australian medical grade skincare company Glyco Skincare. I have not used a physical exfoliator for some time; having gotten accustomed to just using chemical exfoliators like AHA's to do the job of dead skin removal. What I realised with using Micro D, is that I really enjoy the tactile pleasure of the granules contained within this scrub as they work to release the days buildup of debris that goes one step further than surface cleansing.
The abrasive in this scrub is made up of diatomaceous earth which is made of silica and it is wonderful for the skin it helps firm the skin and aid in reduction of wrinkles when used topically. Silica is part of our hair, skin and nails and you have probably seen vitamin and mineral formulations called Hair, Skin and Nails in the chemists etc.
It also contains seaweed extract Carrageenan aka green algae and that is very beneficial for the skin as seaweed contains many vitamins and minerals. The product has a light orange oil scent; however the scent is quickly dispersed and I don't even notice it as it is also very unobtrusive.
I love to use this scrub 3 - 4 times a week as it gives the best results, I find.
My face looks younger, smoother, fine lines and other changes from ageing as I am currently 38 years old are significantly diminished.
I definitely recommend this product! I am just addicted now!
