In my line of work, I often have my pick of the litter when it comes to grooming products, giving me the luxury of trying a new product almost every day. Most recently, I had the pleasure of sampling MiN New York’s new ProEnzyme Facial Cleanser and Scrub, and was thrilled by the performance.
To start, I exfoliated with the ProEnzyme Facial Scrub. Right away I noticed a difference, as the scrub was very creamy with a light grit. After doing some research, I learned what differentiated this scrub from all the others on the market.
Unlike other scrubs that may use a ground exfoliant like walnut shells, ProEnzyme Facial Scrub uses spherical beads. Why does this matter? At face value, you probably wouldn’t notice a difference, but if looked at under a microscope it becomes obvious. Ground walnut shells tend to have sharper edges, which can cut the skin and cause unwanted irritation. On the flip side, the spherical beads used by MiN New York have smooth edges, which remove dead skin without causing skin sensitivity. This means you can use this scrub several times a week, or as needed, unlike the more abrasive scrubs that can only be used 1-2 times a week.
After using the scrub, I went through my normal shave routine, applying a shave oil and cream. I finished off as always – face wash – and tried the ProEnzyme Facial Cleanser. There are two things I love about this product. For starters, it is has a creamy base, so there isn’t a lot of extra foaming action going on. This is great because I have sensitive skin, and too much foam tends to dry out my face. Second, I tend to get access oil in my t-zone, especially during the summer, and this product got under control in just one use. What more could you ask for in a facial scrub and cleanser?
