Amazing Facial Scrub & Mask: Live Clean Fresh Face

A few things that I find that really help to keep my oily *cough* aging *cough* skin look fresh, clear and smooth are deep cleansing clay masks and scrubs. I don't over-use either, as my sensitive skin rebels and freaks out if I use products that are too harsh, or if I use them too often. But weekly or bi-weekly,  I like to do a scrub and mask. Not on the same day, and usually a few days apart, as I don't want to shock my skin. Tip: do scrub, then a day or two later, do the mask. The mask can work better on skin that isn't clogged with dead skin cells.

The facial line of products from Live Clean, Fresh Face, has some very worthwhile products to try, at their fabulous reasonable prices. From their site: "Live Clean Fresh Face promises exceptional performance with a minimum of 98% plant-based ingredients. Infused with a combination of Orchid – the eternal youth flower, anti-oxidant Vitamin C and Certified Organic Botanicals". Based around the brightening and tone improving power of Vitamin C, these are definitely worth trying.

My latest fave scrub is from Live Clean's Fresh Face line, their Smoothing Facial Scrub. It uses natural grains of finely ground Corn Cob to remove dead skin cells and vitamin C to brighten and add radiance. Lovely soothing stuff like aloe, chamomile, buckthorn, and cucumber calm the lovely fresh skin that is left behind after sloughing off the dead dry and dull skin on the surface. I use it once a week at the most, and find it makes a big difference in helping my skin absorb other treatments like moisturizer, and also lets make up sit better on the smoother surface. A tiny bit goes a long way as well. I use a drop or two on my lips to get rid of dry dead skin, and along my bikini line to help exfoliate and avoid ingrowns. Knowing how gentle and pure Fresh Face Smoothing Facial Scrub is makes me feel better about using it in delicate areas.

I love using a clay mask to deep clean pores and to brighten my skin. Makes my skin feel like I've had a facial and feeling squeaky clean. Especially if I've been wearing more make up than usual, sweating a lot, or driving around with the top down in the air with goodness knows what all flying around. Live Clean Fresh Face Deep Cleansing Clay Masque is the perfect solution for that. It only takes around 15 minutes max for this mask to do it's work. Formulated with natural Kaolin,  it deep cleans to remove impurities, absorbs excess surface oil while calming the skin. Like the Fresh Face Scrub,  the Clay Masque also has brightening Vitamin C, and aloe, chamomile, buckthorn and cucumber to calm and sooth skin as well, so all that is left behind is a glow.

Fresh Face Facial Scrub is $19.99 and the Deep Cleansing Clay Mask is $14.99. In Canada, Live Clean is sold at drugstores and Walmart. At this time, only the Live Clean Baby line is available in the United States, although www.well.ca sells the entire Live Clean line including Fresh Face, and they ship to the US.

Baby Your Skin & Hair With Live Clean Baby

I've written before about how much I love Live Clean products. They are natural, SLS, paraben and phthalate free, as well as living up to what they claim to do. Simply and gently. After my last review I heard some buzz from my fellow beauty bloggers about their love for the Live Clean Baby Shampoo & Wash. Some said it was ideal for their sensitive skin, some said it helped soothe their eczema, all the while leaving behind the soft and lovely scent of babies. You know that scent- soft, powdery and clean. Just the scent of clean skin. 

Well, you can't throw those claims around without me jumping on the bandwagon. And boy- am I glad I did. I have been using the Live Clean Baby as my shower gel. A few squeezes in on my shower puff and I feel softly cleansed from head to toe. I shampoo my hair with it from time to time and just love the way my hair smells afterward. It also is just so gentle and rinses out clean leaving my hair soft and silky, and not in the least bit dry or straw-like. It is also lovely to add a few squirts to the bath. It soothes the skin and leaves a touch of soft scent behind.

This is for the baby in the family, or for anyone who wants to baby their skin and hair. Live Clean Baby is available in Canada and the US at drugstores and Walmart. The baby line is the first Live Clean product line to make into the States and hopefully for my American readers the rest of the line will follow soon!
