Question:
any recs for an exfoliator?
Hey! I'm about to run out of my current facial exfoliator, so I'm on the look out for a new one. I have dry, but spotty skin :( I've been using l'oreal microdermabrasion one, which has been ok, but tends to leave my skin looking a bit to red and blotchy, and my chin a bit 'angry' :o
I've also tried st Ives (too scratchy!) and dermlogica microfoliant (not scratchy enough!)
Any recommendations? I'm pretty broke at the moment, so 10 pounds is about my max.
thanks!

Have you not thought of the Lush stuff?
I ues Angels on Bare Skin, it's marketed as a Cleanser, but is quite grainy. I think it's £3.95 a pot.
I use it everyday in the evening, and have noooo spots :D
The very best exfoliator I've ever used is Skin Prep Scrub from Dermalogica but it's a bit expensive so when I can't afford the £18 or so that it costs I use table salt!
I have a little ramakin on the corner of the bath and just dip my fingertips into the salt and gently rub my skin and it leaves it beautifully soft and it's great at clearing up any blemishes because salt is a natural and very effective healer but best of all it's about 27p a tub!
Nice tip Scania, might have a go as I dont have an exfoliator at the moment.
clarins exfoliators are nice, not scratchy but very effective. ysl does a nice one too, cant remember the name but you massage it onto dry skin, then rinse.
if you find a nice budget one, please let me know!!!!
