Scrubbing Up with Billy Jealousy Liquid Sand Exfoliating Facial Cleanser
As the only guy on staff, I get the pleasure of testing all the men’s products that come across our desks. Last week I discovered a new stand-out: Liquid Sand Exfoliating Facial Cleanser by Billy Jealousy ($24).
This cleanser is perfect to prep for shaving and, unlike many scrubs, it is gentle enough to be used several times a week. The creators added lots of good stuff (like mulberry extract, an illuminating antioxidant) and left out the bad (parabens, artificial colors, and sodium lauryl sulfate). And you can feel good knowing that a portion of every sale goes to the Billy Jealousy Fund, the company’s philanthropic branch that helps support environmental and humanitarian charities.
