The Body Shop Vitamin C Microdermabrasion

The Body Shop's Vitamin C Microdermabrasion is one of their best selling products, and it's easy to see why. This face scrub has fine micro particles and crushed garnet stones (fancy) that remove dead skin cells to (hopefully) produce a brighter and more even complexion. I've been using this for a couple of weeks now and I'm really impressed with this product. My skin is immediately smoother after use and remains smooth overnight to produce a lovely base for makeup application. I'd advise those of you with sensitive skin to go gently with this product because it can cause irritation if you go gung-ho. Gentle circling is just as effective.

There's a lot of tiny grain in this orangey (think vitamin c capsules) smelling scrub so you only need a tiny amount. It spreads easily and washes off surprisingly well, there's no tiny bits left after you're finished. I like to use a facecloth to get everything off. Skin is left soft and super-smooth. This really is an excellent exfoliator and it's currently on sale at The Body Shop website for £7.80 rather than £13.00.
