Can anyone recommend a good facial scrub?

[CattyBrown]

At the minute I'm using Nivea but like something a little bit harsher.

Could anyone recommend a good exfoliating facial scrub please

Ocean sea salt is amazing. You only need the tiniest amount.

Seconding Origins Modern Friction, love it!

I also use St Ives, and the travel section of Superdrug tends to do nice little miniature ones too.

But I came on this thread to flag up the Radox Body Scrub. You don't see it around often, I found one in Superdrug on The Strand recently. It is a pink colour and doubles as/is also a shower gel. Bit pricier than normal Radox gel, it's around the 3.50 mark I think, but worth a look. A bit effeminate for a bloke (ie me) but they seem to have discontinued the Sport Scrub range that I enjoyed using.

I like a harsh one also and I like Dead Sea (spa magic).
It's about £7 from John Lewis and my favourite.

I have tried loads and this one is fantastic. Need a tiny amount and my skin is extremely smooth after.

Origins never a dull moment. It is lovely, expensive buy lasts forever.

St ives Apricot is the scrub I've used for years. Good value too.

Some very good recommendations here. We'd love it if you'd add a review of any product you really rate, to let more Mumsnetters know how fab it is

St Ives for me too, just the right level of abrasion for me.

I like the St Ives apricot one too BUT Ocean Salt from Lush is my new favourite. I bought it for my teenage son as thought it would be a more manly option. It is fab, wonderful smell of the ocean which wakes me up in the morning.

I used to love a scrub made by Boots, but I've decided to stick to my flannel since I heard on the radio the other day that the ones with microbeads, ie tiny bits of plastic, are pretty evil to the marine environment. Apricot kernels, salt etc, obviously fine.
