Ok, I love a good face scrub. I love the
feeling of taking away all the grime and
a layer of skin at the same time.
Scrubbing out the evils of the night
before, or in some cases the deep rooted
weekend before, to leave this fresh
newborn face. I always feel youthful and
more alert after a good scrub and all it
takes is three easy steps.
Step 1: Wet face.
Step 2: Apply chosen scrub to
finger tips and massage into face.
Step 3: Rinse and pat down with a
clean towel.
It’s that simple and here are some
products we’ve put to the test on your
behalf so you can scrub away the
Winter.
Rockface Face Scrub: RRP £4.49
(150ml) - ★★★★
This delightful scrub contains gentle
exfoliation particles for a deep pour
clean and leaves the skin feeling soft and
awake. Aqua green in colour and
bursting with the earthy Rockface
fragrance, this is an affordable and
enjoyable face scrub to use with the tiny
particles acting like sand cleaning
diamonds. It’s a great scrub if you’re
looking to polish up.

Moosehead Anti Blackhead Face
Scrub: RRP £4.99 (150ml) - ★★★
This is a face scrub like no other with its
large exfoliating scrub particles and dark
grey colour. It contains charcoal to help
absorb the grease out of the skin and has
a subtle camomile fragrance to sooth,
though the smell did remind me of the
face paints we had as kids. I think if you
were going to start a facial Spring Clean
then this would make a good first
impression. It’s rough and deep cleaning
yet once washed off leaves the face soft
and smooth.
Available from Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and
Tesco.
Bull Dog Original Face Scrub: RRP
£5.79 (100ml) - ★★★★
Another great little scrub which uses
real ground coconut shell to whisk away
the grime and contains 8 essential oils to
smooth and soothe the face afterwards.
There’s quite a floral scent with its
Rosehip, Geranium and Tree moss oils
but also a hint of zest with lemon and
lime oils. Made of entirely natural
ingredients this is certainly one for front
of the shelf. ∎
Available from meetthebulldog.com
Available from selected supermarkets or
online at: rockface4men.co.uk
CLINIQUE Face Scrub: RRP
£18.00 (100ml) - ★★★★★
The most expensive of the bunch but
worth the extra. A highly bracing scrub,
CLINIQUE uses rounded granules so as
not to scratch at the face, yet still work
out the dirt and remove layers of dead
skin. Its soft fragrance leaves you clean
and set up for a good day.
