The best thing since a muslin cloth...

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. It cost me £3.00 and can be found on most high streets or shopping centres. It’s a cheap, deep cleanser and even comes with a cute travel lid. What am I talking about?

The Body Shop Facial Brush, that’s what!

Cheaper than the clarisonic, more exfoliating than a muslin cloth and not as annoying as a flannel this little brush is essentially like a large toothbrush for your face. It’s tough on dirt but is gentle enough for the dry, sensitive skin around my mouth. My skin is clearer (although I would like to point out that I do use hormonal contraception which can make my skin WEIRD for no real reason) and the horrible dry bits that my foundation clings to is signficiantly smaller. After just a few days I noticed a difference, my moisturiser sinks in better and I think my foundation/BB cream blends in better.
The design of it is pretty cute, it’s about the size of a £2 coin and comes with a little lid you can pop the brush back into if you want to travel with it. Personally, I wouldn’t let the brush drip dry into the lid as the bristles would then sit in the goo which drops off them. Yuck!

I hardly use my Soap & Glory exfoliator anymore, I just use this little guy. Every evening after removing my make up I apply my cleanser to dry skin and spend a couple minutes (usually whilst reading something on my kindle), it really gets in deep and gets any little scrap of grime out of your pores. I think that my nose is less shiny (stupid nose) during the day.

If you can’t afford a clarisonic or a facial then give this a go, it’s 3 quid, what have you got to lose?
