Our panel put this to the test, and here is what they had to say:




They say that one of the key steps to having a smooth, glowing and younger looking complexion is proper exfoliation.  You need to remove that layer of dead skin in order to reveal the supple and moist skin underneath.  The trick to getting this right is to use an exfoliator that isn't harsh and abrasive, causing tiny tears and rips that are actually harmful to your skin.  This is especially important for those of us with sensitive skin.  One of the best and gentlest exfoliants out there is Zia Skin Basics Bamboo Exfoliant.  The key ingredient, bamboo extract, has a fine texture that's mild to the touch, but manages to slough off dead skin and grime effectively.  The rice bran oil helps further stimulate cellular turnover, while yucca extract soothes and hydrates skin, so it's never dry of flaky afterwards. The addition of lemon oil clarifies and energizes, leaving a light citrus scent behind.  This product is gentle enough to use every other day, ensuring that with regular use, your skin is always baby-soft, smooth and glowing.



Prior to applying my cream, I used Bamboo Exfoliant on my face.  It was very gentle on my skin, but at the same time I felt I was clearing those dead cells.  I felt positively radiant after use.  The Yucca Extract in the ingredients helped to hydrate my skin.  There was no redness to my skin after use. This exfoliant is gentle enough to use everyday, so you have no excuse for not having beautiful younger looking skin all day, everyday.


After a incredible experience with Zia’s Oceanic Clay Moisture Crème, I was so excited to try their skin basics bamboo exfoliant with rice bran. You only use this product 2-4 times a week to remove the nasty toxins that seep into the skin. This is one of the most gentle exfoliant products I have ever tried. Lemony in smell it leaves the skin clean, striped of the bad and hydrated with the good yucca extract. My skin really glows afterwards. Also love that the company takes some of the cost and puts it back into the environment by planting trees with American Forrest Global ReLeaf Project. Now I am glowing inside and out!
