There's a certain thrill that comes with wandering the aisles of my favorite drugstore, primed and ready to find, and test, a new beauty product. In winter, my zen-like focus shifts to products that are going to make my skin feel comfortable during a long, frosty Chicago winter. My most recent treasure is Alba Botanica Natural Even Advanced™ Sea Algae Enzyme Scrub. This superfine (like, teeny particles) scrub exfoliates like a champ, something that's really going to matter to us as these temperatures drop. But even better, it doesn't do that criminal, dry-tight-itchy thing that a lot of other moisture-robbing scrubs like to do. Your skin will feel clean, but not stripped. Victory! What's your latest drugstore beauty story?
Alba Botanica Natural Even Advanced™ Sea Algae Enzyme Scrub, $9.95, available at Alba.
