Physical exfoliation is one of the most satisfying skin care practices because of the instant gratification it can provide — Hi baby skin — plus it helps skin care products penetrate better. 

We put on test the game-changer BOA Smart Natural Exfoliant that, unlike chemical or physical exfoliants, this bad boy distinguishes between old and new skin, picking up only your dead cells. 

The unique mineral exfoliant is crafted from naturally derived ingredients specifically designed for use on the face and the body to rejuvenate the skin and maintain a healthy skin balance. Now we’re talking.

What is exfoliating good for?

Exfoliation aims to remove the upper layer of dead skin cells to leave a brighter and more even complexion and texture. It also improves age spots and uneven skin tone and allows better penetration of your favourite skincare products.

However, over-exfoliation can push the inflammation more profound and disrupt skin barrier irritations, so we love BOA Smart Natural Exfoliant because it does more than exfoliate. The BOA stick removes flakiness, impurities, and pollutants from your epidermis’ outer layers–without irritation.

The formula includes:

  • Calcium carbonate to absorb impurities
  • Kaolin, a clay, to remove dirt and pollution
  • Jojoba oil to soften the skin
  • Jojoba butter to hydrate the upper epidermis layer for a more youthful appearance
  • Natural moisturizing factors to keep the skin hydrated and supple
  • Myristyl alcohol as an emulsion stabilizer

According to the brand, 97% of their customers saw visible skin improvement, and 95% experienced smoother tone and texture.

The Verdict

This exfoliator is pretty impressive; it gently buffed away the dead skin cells that will form into rice-like particles leaving the skin feeling smooth, polished and glowing again. Currently, I avoid a lot of exfoliating products because I had overdone them in the past, leaving my skin barrier weak and unbalanced.

However, I liked this natural exfoliant because when you stop feeling the rice-like particles, the job is done, and you don’t need more. Then, I apply my night serum to nourish my skin, and I’m ready for bed! 

 Although glow from within is becoming a bit of beauty cliché, it is the best way to describe the result after my exfoliation with this product —, every time I use this exfoliant; I’m surprised all over again at how soft it makes my skin —

I’d use this product again, and it’ll certainly have a space on my beauty cupboard.

*If you have Rosacea or any types of contact dermatitis, inflammatory acne (Papules, pustules, cysts) or any other types of skin medical conditions, the brand suggest consulting with your dermatologist before using BOA.
