I 2nd incy, its fab, really gentle yet really effective. Also Dermalogica's gentle exfoliant is like a mask which you leave on for 10-15mins which really brightens a dull complexion, people notice when I use it!! Its even more gentle as no scrubbing.

Ive used the Apricot one from St Ives and found it crap.

Read in a book this week that 3 tablespoons of olive oil mixed with 2 tablespoons of salt is meant to be excellent. Cleanse face and then gentle rub with mixture for a couple of minutes. Dont know if its any good though. Am trying it this weekend....

I was given a chanel mini trial one, and can honestly say it is utterly fantastic on my dry scaly reptilian skin - unfortunately the writing has come off so I can't tell you what it's called!
But it's very pale blue and smells nice, doesn't feel at all scratchy or even as if it has particles in it, yet leaves you as smooth as a baby's bum - worth asking a chanel bint if she recognises it.

Agree with SarahLou - Clinique is the one for me.

I think Modern Friction is just over £20

Boots No.7 microdermabrasion one is fantastic, I have extremely dry skin and excema and it suits me perfectly.

I use Boots Botanics one. I like it, polishes me up to rosy buff!

LOL

i use Boots Botanics, 'in shower daily facial polish' - I love it, wakes my face up every morning,

and micro dema stuff once a week when i remember

Old fashioned rolled oats and sea salt.

Whizz 3:1 in blender or with a hand whizzer thingy until very fine. The use a little, mixed with water (or honey), spread over face, relax in bath, after 5 mins use circular motions to exfoliate and then rinse of.

Lovely smooth skin.

I use St Ives apricot facial scrub it is the only product other than my shampoo which I have always bought and used continuously. My Dp and Dss all use it.... it's excellent at getting rid of blackheads without any squeezing.
