One of the best parts about living in New York is leaving for a few days in the winter to go someplace warm. Don’t get me wrong, November is low-key my favorite month in the city, but even with an unseasonably mild fall, the cooler air is already affecting my skin, leaving it drier than it’s felt in months. Thankfully, I know a solution that cleanses, exfoliates and moisturizes all in one step—and it’s made my skin baby-soft just in time for this Thanksgiving holiday I’ll be spending on a beach.
OSEA’s Undaria Cleansing Body Polish ($48) is the only product I reach for when I want to slough off dry skin. (It doesn’t hurt that it’s light and fruity scent and luxurious gel-to-milk-like texture create a full-blown spa experience.) The gentle exfoliator includes the star ingredient Undaria seaweed, plus kiwi AHA-infused rice microparticles, pumice, glycerin and sunflower seed oil, all of which work together to physically and chemically buff off dead skin cells while leaving skin so moisturized and smooth that I often forget to put on body lotion after. One of the best parts: a little goes a long way. I use OSEA’s Cleansing Polish a couple of times a week, and the 10 oz tub easily lasts several months.
Shoppers share my sentiments. One reviewer calls OSEA’s Undaria Cleansing Polish “a keeper,” adding it “creates a new layer of soft skin.” Another shopper with “mature and dry skin” says the polish makes a “dramatic change.” As a result, “My legs are so smooth and healthy looking!” A third person agrees: “It has made my skin so soft.” In a similar vein, yet another reviewer comments, “It’s gentle and smells heavenly, leaving my skin feeling soft and smooth,” before continuing, “This body polish is so luxurious that you forget it’s an exfoliant!” Other shoppers call it a “game changer,” say it leaves “left my “dry skin feeling silky and soft,” and note the famous, citrusy Undaria scent is “the all-natural grapefruit scent “to die for.”
For your smoothest, softest skin anywhere, all year round (or a gift that screams sophistication and good taste), shop OSEA’s Undaria Cleansing Polish on OSEA.com or Amazon.
