Facial Exfoliaters - The Edit
The Bodyshop - Drops of Youth
This one is a little bit pricey. I bought it for £18, which is not too bad in the scheme of things compared to brands like Liz Earle and Clinique it just hurt my heart a little bit to spend £18 to peel my face off.
Onto the product, it claims to reveal a fresh layer of skin a bit like an acid peel. HOWEVER, it's obviously not an acid peel. You apply to a clean and dry face, rub it in and you can feel your skin coming off in lil' clumps, nice. I think part of the reason I like this product so much is because when you feel your dead skin coming off and balling up as you rub your face it really feels like it's working.
Is it a miracle worker? No, it doesn't actually reveal a whole new face but my skin feels soft and deeply cleansed so I'm all for that.

St Ives - Apricot Scrub
I've been using this one for years. I first used it when I got a free sample tube in the post, the smell is great (apricots obviously), it's quite a thick texture and you use like a normal exfoliator on wet skin.
As for effect, I like it, it's simple with no frills but it does the job. My skin feels and smells good, and it's not too harsh on my skin.
The price is good (£4.19 Boots) and makes it an easy buy, would recommend.

Magnitone brush
I've already written a short review on this brush so I will keep this brief. I am a big fan of this. The first reason is that you can tailor it too what you want for your skin, I can use a different face wash every time I use it meaning that well as exfoliating I can treat other aspects of my skin (i.e. dryness, moisture).
The price is admittedly a lot, but you can't use this product up like you would with a tube of facial exfoliator, you buy this tool and you are all good for a lifetime. It's got two modes one normal and then a deep cleanse. This means I can use it every day without having to feel like I'm scrubbing my face off.
In my opinion definitely worth the investment.
