    Hey girls, Can you recommend me a good one?

    I religiously used St. Ives Apricot Gentle Scub, but they have rebranded it and totally changed the product. I hate it now, it leaves my sensitive skin looking vile... and it used to be amazing :(

    Anyone tried the MAC Volcanic Scrub, the black one?

    Any others that are amazing?

    I personally like little grains in my scrub, I know some people with sensitive skin hate that. Mine is also dry and flaky so I need the little grains!

    Gimme your favs :D

    I've started using muslin cloths to remove cleanser everyday and I find them to give gentle exfoliation. Not a product as such but still good!

    Bicarb of soda is very good for sensitive skin - put about a teaspoon (if even!) into your regular facial cleanser twice a week, give your face a gentle scrub and leave for about 2/3 minutes then rinse off. Works a treat (and super cheap!). It would be a bit harsh if you used it every day though so only a few times per week.

    I like Clean & Clear's Everyday Scrub. It's not too harsh as it's for regular use, but is still grainy for a good scrub!

    I think it's called Face Polish or something by Benefit - it's very gentle though the beads are very small and doesn't give a good scrub like the St Ives (which I adore!)

    I second this!! I use this every day and find that if I run out and take a couple of days to replace I end up breaking out...highly recommend it and my sister uses it as well :)

    I personally love this one from Boots. Its really cheap and i love the smell. It has the right amount of scrubbing beads in it too.
