Our favourite face and body scrubs for flawless skin
If seriously smooth skin is one of your goals, then it's time to get a good exfoliator.
Our favourite face scrubs
Not only will the use of a gentle facial exfoliator allow the next products in your skincare routine to penetrate more efficiently, it will also help to buff away dullness-inducing dead skin cells that can lead to blocked pores.
If you’re looking to get more bang for your buck, choose a product that can be used in more than one way. If breakouts are one of your concerns, you’ll love African Extracts Mattifying White Clay Wash with kaolin clay and salicylic acid to mop up oil, plus bio-active rooibos extract to soothe inflammation.
If you’re looking for an ultra-fine scrub that will soothe and refresh, try Sukin Signature Revitalising Facial Scrub. It uses a granular mixture of biodegradable bamboo extract and walnut shell powder to gently buff the skin’s surface, and jojoba, sesame and rosehip oils to replenish moisture for an ultra silky finish.
Add an extra brightening boost to your facial exfoliation with MyEarth Hibiscus & Vitamin C Brightening Boost Exfoliating Scrub. It’s packed with plant based ingredients including antioxidant vitamin C and cell-renewing hibiscus to keep your skin looking truly radiant.
Exfoliation tip: when applying a face scrub, keep the pressure of your movements light so as to not damage your skin.
Our favourite body scrubs
Is there any better feeling than a gritty body scrub over dry skin? Serenitii Luxurious Body and Foot Exfoliator, Sorbet Tranquil Ruby Grapefruit Body Scrub, The Body Shop Almond Milk and Honey Gentle Exfoliating Body Scrub, and Teaology Green Tea Reshaping Body Scrub will give your body the boost it needs.
Want to get the most out of the hydrating effect of your moisturiser? Smooth a moisturiser onto your skin after your weekly body exfoliation session when your skin is still damp.
Iwori Baobab Renewing Body Oil contains a lightweight blend of nine hydrating oils including sweet almond, olive, jojoba and grapeseed to leave skin feeling supple without a sticky residue.
