All that to say, these are not the Stridex pads of your teenhood. They’re a grown-up version that are just as effective without the sting. As I trade acne and oil for fine lines and texture—oh the joys of aging—it’s one of the only chemical exfoliants I've tried that actually does what it says without leaving my skin red and inflamed.
The exfoliating pads can be used morning or night, whether you’re looking to prep your face for makeup (à la Jen Gar) or take it all off at the end of the day. Each pad is soft and thick and comes with its very own finger pocket, making it easy to swipe on over every nook and cranny of your face, neck and chest. After desperately searching for something to help smooth out the rough texture on my cheeks and chin, these pads have come through time and time again.
To conclude the video, Garner shares a bit of wisdom with us: “My advice for moving through the world with confidence? If you want to have self-esteem, do esteem-able things. Focus out more than in. Focus on what you’re doing for other people.” Also, "Nothing looks better in your fifties than sunscreen in your twenties!”
The woman has spoken.
