TL;DR:

• What it is: An exfoliating cleansing balm with a slightly sandy texture
• What it does: Sloughs away dead skin cells and grime, and hydrates
• Who it’s for: If you’re looking to add a gentle exfoliator into your routine, this one is easy on skin.

Inside this pot is a balm with a warm, nutty smell and a blend of enzymatic and physical exfoliators that team up to make skin smoother and more radiant. Lush Happy Skin unclogs pores and brightens with pineapple juice, an excellent source of bromelain enzymes and exfoliating alpha hydroxy acids. The slightly sandy texture of tagua nut powder sloughs away dead cells and grime, and shea butter adds hydration to seal in your newfound radiance. The combo, and the unusual balm texture for an exfoliator, “makes my skin baby soft and extra glowy,” says Allure’s Jesa Marie Calaor. In place of your usual facial cleanser, massage this on once or twice a week to exfoliate while you cleanse. It rinses off easily, and you can use it before moisturizer for a luminous routine.
