    my favourite is Lush's Ocean Salt = AMAZING!!!

    I bought a Clarisonic though and this is the best thing in the world. I guess I saved money in the long run haha

    My current fave is the Santuary one (£10.20/100mls but currently save a fiver with the new boots skincare voucher) and my skin always feels really clean and clear after using it.

    My OH likes the Boots Cucumber Facial Scrub as it's really gentle and he can use it everyday :D

    I like either Angels on Bare Skin, or Ocean Salt by Lush.

    I like the ones with natural exfoliating pieces, rather than plastic beads which can be harsh.
    St Ives apricot scrub is one of my faves, it is amazing for face and body and not very expensive

    Could you tell us a bit more about the Clarisonic - how you use it, how often and is it just face or body too.
    Would you use it now in preferece to Lush.s Ocean Salt?
    thanks - awaiting your reply with interest!

    If you're a bit skint, just bung half a teaspoon of sugar in with your usual facewash and gently rub your face.

    Edit: Not icing sugar though. That would be ridiculous.

    Or... really old-fashioned this one... a flannel. They exfoliate. :D

    Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant (or something like that) lasts for ages but pretty expensive, if you want a 'physical' exfoliant.
    I'm now using Paulas Choice BHA 2% lotion which is fantastic and a 'chemical' exfoliant. I'm using a Paulas Choice cleanser as well which I love.
