Face scrub

[quesadillas]

Hi,

I'm in need of a new face scrub. I need quite a harsh almost sandpapery one. Just bought an Olay one, but it's too smooth and creamy. So, any recommendations for a very scrubby face wash to get rid of my flaky bits? No particular budget in mind.

Thanks!

St Ives Apricot Scrub. It's like sand! Really good for exfoliating.

Why would you need a sandpapery face scrub?? Sounds harsh

Anything too smooth leaves my face looking dull. The harsh ones make it look better.

I'll have a look for the St Ives one.

Have you tried the oil cleansing method?

This is amazing for brightening up your complexion and not harsh if used as recommended.

YY to the St Ives one.

It is pretty harsh so I only use it once a week but my god does it make your face look and feel brand new!

Don't buy the Body Shop Vit E one or their Vit C Microdermabrasion scrub. Both pants.

Body Shop Vitamin C one is pretty scrubby. Soap and Glory Scrub your Nose in It is good, has a deceptively smooth texture due to the pumice being ground fine, but is really effective. Don't like to preach, but avoid scrubs with Polyethylene "microbeads" in the ingredients, it gets into the water system and is bad for animals.

Eeeeek Casmama Peter Andre has that on his desert island beauty list

I love Philosophy Microdelivery Exfoliating Face wash.

DH likes St Ives but I find it waaay too abrasive for my face

Oh FFS, that's almost enough to out me off . It is good though and I first heard about it on here not from PA.

Ditch the scrub and get an olay regenerist skin buffer. It's great. Others reviewed here:

Superdrug Vitamin E is good! The St Ives one wasn't that good imo

Another vote for St Ives. It is like sandpaper. I love it.

get alpha-H liquid gold. liquid acid. dissolves the dead skin.

Thanks for the suggestions, I shall have a proper peruse.
