THE BODY SHOP - Seaweed Pore Cleansing Facial Exfoliator

Have been testing the Body Shop exfoliator for the past 3 or so weeks and I have to say that I have been really enjoying it. Am usually pretty hesitant about exfoliators, due to early experiences with the super coarse and scratchy Saint Ives scrub (we have all been there right?).  I usually find that exfoliators either fall into two categories, the beads that dissolve straight away and do nothing or the other extreme, being the crazy harsh scratchy scrubs.

Was really pleasantly surprised with this product (as I tend to be with a lot of Body Shop items). The jojoba beads and olive stone (not totally sure what this is... but sounds good for you) are soft yet hold their shape and you can really feel them polishing the surface of your skin.
Have been using this only about twice a week as my skin is supper sensitive at the moment, and don't want to agitate it too much.

What I liked the most about this product is that you can really lather it up and as a result feels like a gentle cleanser combined with a scrub. I have some other exfoliators I love but often I have to combine with my cleanser to achieve a fully cleansed face afterwards. This beautifully incorporates the two steps.
