Scrubbin' Up

I popped into Superdrug yesterday to quickly grab some face products. Seeing that I had a bit of extra time to kill before starting work I ended up having a nosy around and came across these exfoliating body washes from their 'I love...' range. As I was running out of my mini Soap and Glory scrub (a fab product I got as a pressie) I thought I'd give these a try, especially as they were cheap and cheerful at 2 for £2.99 (£2.05 each).

I picked up the raspberry & blackberry and the coconut & cream ones. They also have them in strawberries & milkshake and mango & papaya varieties.

As with all bath products, the scent plays a big part in how nice I find it. The smell is quite subtle and not too overpowering or sweet, which I liked.

I could see through the packaging that it had little exfoliating beads in, rather than the rougher salt-type scrubs, so I assumed it would probably be quite a gentle product, which it turned out to be when I used it. If you're after a product that you could get away with using everyday as an all over shower gel for keeping your skin smooth this would be perfect - it's not too harsh at all so I couldn't imagine it would irritate skin easily.

Personally I prefer products that have a coarser texture - if I'm going to exfoliate I want to actually feel like I have afterwards, otherwise what's the point? I'll still be on the lookout for something else, but this isn't a bad product for the price, so will do to tide me over in the meantime. I'll just have to use it more often!

Have you come across any decent, reasonably priced body scrubs lately, or have a particular one you regularly use?
