Clean & Clear Morning Burst: Smells Like Citrus Scrub.

Never before, when hunting for a product's home page have I been greeted by such masterfully produced pop music. And I like it. Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Scrub has an instantly refreshing citrus scent that will uplift even the biggest morning monster's spirits. (Please note I'm only using it on my body and not my face as I actually don't believe in large physical exfoliants for the f
