When my skin gets really dry, the first thing that I do is remove the dead skin.  Usually, I can apply a purifying charcoal mask , remove it with a nubby washcloth, and call it a day.  But when my skin is really dry and my pores are congested, I need something stronger.  It’s time for a real scrub to get my skin into shape for spring.
