Gentle, soothing exfoliator

Advantages: Really gentle, leaves skin soft & moisturised
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...As with nearly ever other No 7 product I own I got this because I got a £5 No 7 voucher. I hadn't seen a lot I wanted but wanted to use the voucher so I just went for on of the cheapest things in the skincare range which was this exfoliator. At full price it isn't exactly cheap though, it was £7.50, but that meant I only paid £2.50 for it which was a good bargain! It is a 75ml bottle which is average size for a face scrub. Packaging? It is in a squeezy bottle which sits upside down with the bit where the scrub comes out at the bottom, so it is always easy to get it out of the bottle. The bottle is kind of clear so you can see what is inside a bit, but it is a bit frosted which actually makes it look nice and better quality than if it were a clear bottle. It has a gold 'No7 at the top and 'Radiance Revealed' written in bold...

Review of No7 Radiance Revealed Exfoliator

Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate

Advantages: Kind to your skin
Disadvantages: None

...Now that summer is well and truly upon us (and we?ve even had some sunshine as a treat to prove it), I?m very conscious of the need to improve texture of my skin. I recently tried Simple Exfoliating Body Wash, which in addition to being a shower gel is also a gentle exfoliator. Anyone who is sensible and chooses fake tan instead of risking skin cancer will tell you that it is important to exfoliate your skin before applying. I have used this product before applying my tan and it has proved to be an excellent preparation. However, even if you are just looking for a good shower gel to refresh and rejuvenate your skin, I highly recommend this product. It is easy to use, and is gentle enough to use every time you shower. I tend to have at least one shower a day, and have been using it consistently for several weeks. I have already...

Review of Simple Exfoliating Body Wash

Simple revitalising and exfoliating wipes - so SIMPLE!

Advantages: Skin feels refreshed, clean and soft after use.
Disadvantages: Can be expensive.

...Simple is renowned for its skincare products so when I saw Simple revitalising exfoliating wipes on offer at Tesco?s for 2 for £4.00 I thought I would give them a try. The normal price is £2.92 for 25 wipes which works out at 11.7p per wipe which is a little expensive. So 50 for £4.00 seemed like a good bargain! It?s a well known fact that Simple products have no added ingredients but just in case anyone didn?t know the wipes are in a green plastic packet with the words ?no colour no perfume? written all over it. And a white resealable sticker( Simple have used three vitamins in this product )Vitamin A, Pro-vitamin B5 and Vitamin E. The simple skincare range contains no animal ingredients and all products are dermatolgically approved. These wipes are double - sided and are used to gently remove dead skin cells, cleanse and thoroughly...

Review of Simple Revitalising Exfoliating Wipes

Yves Saint Laurent Exfoliator

Advantages: I like the look of the tube
Disadvantages: It didn't exfoliate my skin, expensive

...I bought some Yves Saint Laurent products a while ago and I got this 'YSL Instant Pure Natural Action Exfoliator' for free. The tube I got was a 15ml sample size. It looks exactly like the larger tube, just in a smaller size. The tube is a really simple design. It is made from quite rubbery, see through white plastic which is really easy to squeeze and makes it easy to get the liquid out. At the top of the tube it has 'INSTANT PUR' in black letters and then it has the name of the exfoliator in French, and then in English 'Natural Action Exfoliator Granule Free' and then at the bottom of the tube 'Yves Saint Laurent' The tube has a white plastic screw top, which means that you get it all sticky when you try to close it after you have applied the exfoliator! This particular exfoliator is granule free. For me this kind of ruins...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Natural Action Exfoliator

Exfoliation soap bar

Advantages: Exfoliates your skin
Disadvantages: Can dry some skin types out if overused

...What is Exfoliation? -------------------------- Exfoliation should be part of everybody's beauty regime. It is an important stage in the washing regime as it helps to keep your skin bright and the texture even. Exfoliation will also ensure the skin is regenerating and the dead cells are sloughed away. The problem for a great many skins is that the process of exfoliation itself irritates the skin, leaving it red, hot, and uncomfortable. This is where Dove's gentle Exfoliation bar comes into play. Why exfoliate? ------------------- Every skin needs some kind of exfoliation. Oilier skins need exfoliating more than any other skin type because it prevents the dead cells from sticking to the oil and blocking the pores causing infection and spots. Blackheads and blockages become will become less frequent when exfoliating because...

Review of Nivea Visage Young Scrub Away Exfoliating Scrub

Green slimy ectoplasm Elizabeth French tea tree exfoliating scrub

Advantages: Nice smell, refreshing on skin
Disadvantages: Not really much of a scrub as too few bits

...Elizabeth French tea tree exfoliating scrub I love buying toiletries in my any store, I just can?t resist opening bottles and sniffing and I get specially excited if I find them reduced. I found this for about £1 at home bargains along with a few other things I didn?t need before I saw them! THE PACKAGING: 150ml see-through squeezy tube and to the bottom of it there is a clear flip open lid/cap concealing a small hole. On the front of the tube all in green script is TEA TREE exfoliating Body scrub with the brand Elizabeth French at the top. I am informed that the product ??contains tea tree and peppermint oil as well as a gentle exfoliator which leaves your skin cleansed and polished?.? On the back of the tube other information includes being told a bit about the product, I'm told how to use it, ingredients are listed, size is...

Review of Elizabeth French tea tree exfoliating scrub

Daily exfoliator & Advanced cleanser

Advantages: Gets rid of dead skin cells really well
Disadvantages: Dries the skin

...I have had this along with Clean & Clear's adanced face cleanser (The one thats meant to reduce spot size within a day or two). I'll be reviewing both here, mainly as there isnt anywhere else for the cleanser to go and I really think people need to know about it. First off, the exfoliator. It's not bad as exfoliators go to be honest. I bought it as it was one out of two that Boots stocked. It's a white creamy consistancy crammed with mini beads (for exfoliating obviously). I recently had some facial surgery, and despite my efforts of constantly moisturising to keep my skin in some sort of decent condition, it became a bit scaley in a way. Thankfully, this exfoliator managed to rid my face of this. This product also works well on the neck and decollete area. I like to use it around my collar-bone area too. It does dry up the skin...

Review of Clean & Clear Exfoliating Daily Wash

Effective Exfoliator

Advantages: Thoroughly cleanses skin
Disadvantages: The lid should be a flip lid rather than screw on cap

...This product comes in a blue tube with a white screw on cap. It is an exfoliating wash and I use it every day. The packaging is modern looking, with silver writing and a green leaf to symbolise that it is part of the "skin naturals range." I bought mine from Boots and it was reduced to £2.99 - I can't honestly remember the full price of it. But I assume that Tesco or Superdrug will probably be cheaper than Boots. The exfoliating wash consists of a clear liquid with lots of tiny blue exfoliating beads in it. You only need a couple of pea sized blobs to exfoliate your full face. It has quite a runny consistency and the beads are really effective - you can feel them removing dead skin cells. The wash is particularly good at cleansing the typically oily areas of the face - the nose and forehead. The product, like most exfoliators...

Review of Garnier Skin Naturals Pure Deep Pore Exfoliating Wash

Sparkle Skin ~ The star amongst exfoliators!

Advantages: Effective, won't irritate skin, value for money, lasts for ages, great for fake tans
Disadvantages: The smell is perhaps an acquired scent

...I was advised to try this exfoliator by a customer when I used to work in a department store and I have to say I have not used any other exfoliator since! Sparkle skin by Clinique is available to buy in either a squeezy tube or a tub, although having tried both I would say that the tub lasts significantly longer than the tube. Having been converted to using fake tan after a bad experience in both the sun and on a sun-bed that was too hot, I decided the way forward was to fake it and from this I would also need a good exfoliator that would go the distance ~ Sparkle skin certainly does that. Unlike some exfoliators that can scratch your skin off and leave it red, raw and sore, 'Sparkle Skin' effectively removes dead skin cells whilst keeping the state of your skin in tact. So no more worries of looking like a tomato after a session...
