Clarins Gentle Refiner Exfoliating Cream with Microbeads
This is one of my favourite, luxurious exfoliators with tiny Microbeads suspended in a gentle cream base with extracts of Mimosa Tenuiflora and Elderberry. Despite Clarins recommending application onto damp skin, I find it’s best to apply this product onto dry skin, massaging the cream quite gently, concentrating particularly on the T-Zone, then rinsing off.…

I originally reviewed it after its launch but wanted to look at it again now that I’ve been using it for such a long time. Dullness is one of the UK’s top 10…

What’s your favourite razor? It may be a little premature, but this is already my grooming tool of 2013. Now I’m fairly new to the world of the battery powered, wet-shave razors, mainly because I honestly thought it was a load of all rubbish, a fad designed to sell the same old garbage to men…
