Can anyone recommend a good one? Preferably one that's not too pricey

    Anyone recomend something for a guy? I really dont wanna go into boots an pick up a pot of candy floss aroma face wash. :lol: Also, its a question I've been asking myself for time! Ive got really small blackheads on my nose and around my chin. I cant get rid of the bastards, no matter what I do. There not big, just really small ones that come in little groups. Any tips ladies?

    Ive never found anything more effective or pleasant to use than St ives apricot scrub. I have sensitive skin and it doesnt irritate it at all, and it can be used on the face and body.

    Perfect for men, too

    box, I use that neutrogena face wash stuff for black heads. doesnt smell girly :p

    no good for tougher skin like shoulders + back though, not quite scrubby enough.

    Id go into Lush and get "ocean salt" face scrub tbh. Its really lovely for the face and smells of grapefruit. Its all natural too.

    Oh totally SuzyC, using ocean salt feels like you have just ducked your head under a wave on a hot beach in the middle of summer.

    I use Clinique's Sparkle Skin body exfoliator, and it's the best I have ever found, it smells of menthol/eucalyptus and gives a really refreshing burst. It's very unisex too.

    I also use St Ives Apricot face scrub for my face, which is very mild smelling, yet has lots of beads in it for a really good scrub. It's also nicely moisturising so I don't have that 'just washed my face with a bar of imperial leather' feel.

    but doesnt imperial leather smell great, even if it does make your face feel like every tiny bit of moisture has been stripped out of it.

    i use one by boots, it's their mediterranean range and it's called mint melon and sugar body scrub. smells amazing! i think it's normally about £8 but it was £3 off and it's a big tub. i like proper scrubs, ones that hurt.
