Advantages: Effective, won't irritate skin, value for money, lasts for ages, great for fake tans Disadvantages: The smell is perhaps an acquired scent
in the shower with the exfoliator!
I tend to use Sparkle Skin 3-4 times a week depending on whether i have fake tan on or not. Its sufficient enough to keep my skin soft and smooth but not too much so that it dries my skin out. I also epilate so it somes in handy for ensuring that when the hair grows back that it doesn't get blocked under the skin.
If you're wanting to try Sparkle Skin or any of Clinique's other ranges then consultants at the Clinique counters are more than happy to help you out, and more often than not they will give you free samples to try before you buy or alternatively for stores that are on Bonus Time, you are normally able to get a free GWP (Gift With Purchase) when buying any 2 products. This can be great because as a regular Clinique user, I've had many GWPs as different shops alternate when they do them ...
Advantages: very gentle and effective; nice packaging Disadvantages: perhaps a little overpriced
RRP: 4.65 for 75ml

--Usage instructions ...
this it isn't too rough on the skin, I still had to be careful as I have quite sensitive skin but it didn't hurt my skin at all. The exfoliator is in a nice balm like stuff that leaves whatever it touches feeling moisturised. I think this is the reason it doesn't feel to rough on the skin, because the balm in it kind of protects you from the grit.
I've learnt that you don't have to use much of it at all each time, because it is so concentrated a little bit goes a long way. I tend to dab a little bit on both cheeks and my forehead and that way I don't end up using too much or focussing it all in one place. As soon as I have used it I can feel the difference in my skin, it always feels really smooth but soothed as well. Because of the moisturising effect my skin has never felt dry after using it. I still always use moisturiser afterwards ...
