Skin care products in beautiful, magical colors can make you go "ooh la la," but just as with fragrances, you don't really need them. Most of these products use artificial colors made from god-knows-what ingredients that can sometimes hurt your skin. They can clog your pores, or worse expose you to toxins. Watch out for "FD&C" or "D&C" in the ingredient list because they correspond with synthetic dyes.
If you have sensitive skin, choose products without dyes or uses natural dyes.
Relax, you're not skipping exfoliation: You just may want to nix harsh scrubbing exfoliators, since the irregular shape might irritate your skin. As much as you love those tiny granules, it's better to use chemical exfoliators based on fruit acids, peel-off masks (that aren't painful to remove, obviously), and natural clay masks.
