Advantages: Nice smell, nice packaging

...couple of years ago when the heat and humidity gave me a few skin problems. Thinking that a combination of tea tree oil and exfoliation would be good for a few spots, I tried this product for a few weeks. ---Packaging--- The product comes in a clear plastic tube, through which you can see the product. Tube has a black label on the front and is marked with a logo specific for tea tree oil products. ---Product appearance--- Green coloured, grainy ...
...and applying the face. Nice aroma of tea tree which isn't too overpowering. ---Application/Effectiveness--- Although I quite enjoyed using this product and the way it made my skin feel fresh and tingly after washing, I did not persist in using it as it did not improve my skin and if anything actually made it worse. I think there is some debate currently about whether exfoliation really benefits acne and whether in fact it doesn't just exacerbate ... Read review

For the past couple of Christmases I have received loads of miniature health and Beauty products. This trend was started by my girlfriend as a gentle hint to look after myself better. Normally I don’t think that I will ever use them. Face scrub is one of the products that I always receive. I have tried probably five or six different scrubs over the last two years, but I have never actually gone out and paid for one of the products I tried. This Scrub ...
...face scrub is part of the body shop for men products. Other products in the range include Face protector, Face Wash and Shaving cream. All of these products were included in my Christmas gift.

Advantages: Good price, good sized pot.
Disadvantages: Doesn't wash off as well as some other exfoliators.

With the summer on its way I decided to have a shop round for a good exfoliator to make sure my skin looked good enough to show when the weather gets warmer. The first thing that attracted me to this product was its smell - it has a really natural fragrance. The scrub is made with traditional Chinese ingredients, the ground rice removes the dead skin cells and the rice bran oil softens and moisturises the newly polished skin. The first time I used ...
...night I decided to use the scrub all over my body. The results were fantastic - my skin looked polished, healthy and was incredibly smooth. I didn't really find any negative points about this product but if I'm going to be picky I'd probably mention that you have to rinse it off quite thoroughly as its quite grainy and if you miss spots you tend to be rubbing bits off all night! I think this body scrub would suit anyone whose skin needs a bit of ... Read review

Advantages: Removes surface make-up effectively. Gentle on the skin. Non-drying.

...Special features? ******************* Johnson's class these as '3 in 1' facial cleansing wipes - they gently cleanse, tone and help to remove make-up including waterproof mascara. Johnson's do three varieties of these wipes - one for normal skin, one for combination, and the other for dry & sensitive skins - this particular review refers specifically to the latter. These particular wipes have added vitamin E and helps to add moisture back into ...
...take out wipe out of it's reseal able packet and gently wipe across the face. I usually find that the wipes are more effective at removing make-up when you actually massage the wipes into the skin, I tend to hope that it will also encourage the wipes to clean deeper into the skin. Results ******** These remove make-up very effectively and I have tried these with waterproof make-up with the same results. Definitely not drying, in fact they literally ... Read review
