I love a good scrub in the shower especially now the skin
bearing weather is finally here! So what better way to get my body
polished to perfection than testing exfoliators?
Here are the results in tradional reverse order.
5. Dove Gentle Exfoliating Body Scrub, £3.49 for
200ml
I know it says 'gentle', but this didn't seem to have much of an
effect at all - more of a moisturiser than an exfoliator, but it
wasn't expensive and it did smell nice and fruity!.
6/10
4. Nirvana Spa Body Scrub, £2.95 for 200ml
The packaging is fresh, simple, minimalistic and the scent is of
orange and mint but not overpowering at all. In terms of an
exfoliator, it contains dead sea minerals which are slightly
abrasive - enough to make your skin feel smooth and
refreshed.

3. Anatomicals Make Min A Smoothie, £7.50 for
200ml
Slightly more expensive but worth it just for the fab and funky
packaging. It has a tropical scent like the sea, and I'm talking
Caribbean not Blackpool! It left my skin feeling refreshed and
buffed and, as the packaging says, gives a whole new meaning to the
phrase 'oh, don't they scrub up well!'.
8/10
2. Lush Buffy the Backside Slayer, £8.75 for
200g
The name of this product says it all - it slays your bum! Your skin
is guaranteed to feel softer after just one use, but be prepared to
pay with a bit of pain, especially on your first attempt, as the
grains give your skin a good pounding, believe me though, it's
worth it!
9/10
1. Virgin Vie Rise & Shine Foaming Body Exfoliator,
£9.50 for 250ml
I am now officially addicted to this - great packaging,
invigorating smell of the sea and instant effect on your skin. It
sloughed away dead skin cells and left fresh, plump new ones
underneath, giving me soft skin and a healthy glow. If you really
want to treat your skin, smooth on some of VV's Instant Action
Hydrating Skin Drink after you get out of the shower too and you're
ready for the sun!.
