Our Best Face Scrubs for Glowing Skin

But there are certain upgrades you can make to your skin care routine that can also benefit your skin. These include using a face mask two or three times a week, dabbing on an eye cream to address the appearance of dark circles under the eyes twice a day, and using a peel pad formulated with glycolic acid before bed.

That’s because exfoliation can help create the appearance of glowing skin (which is the ultimate skin care goal, right?). Keep reading to learn about our best face scrubs, how they work, and how to use them.
