I love a good exfoliator, and Aveda's new Tourmaline Skin Refiner is among the best I've tried.
This creamy facial scrub is very gentle on skin, which means it'd be suited to sensitive skin types, and it does a lovely job of deep cleansing the skin and leaving it feel smooth, but not tight or dried out.
A combination of natural extracts of bamboo and finely powdered tourmaline gently slough away dead skin cells, while the white clay base detoxifies pores. There is also an antioxidant blend in the mix, including Vitamin C and E, to protect skin from the environment.
The one thing I would say about this is to make sure to rinse skin really well after massaging it into your face, perhaps using a damp muslin cloth to aid removal.
The Aveda Tourmaline Skin Refiner will be available exclusively from Brown Thomas from September 1 2011.
