Still on the subject of having to wear masks, I'm sure many people are having skin issues and it's now more important than ever to look after your skin. Winter is definitely a good time to do some treatments and I have been testing the new Filorga Scrub and Detox exfoliator which is a great purifying treatment that you can do at home to combat the effects of all the stress, pollution and mask-wearing blues.

A dull complexion, accelerated skin ageing, recurring imperfections, redness and dilated pores- all these can be addressed with this mousse scrub.The double-action exfoliating foam intensely detoxifies the skin via two main steps – double exfoliation and double purification.

The scrub combines both mechanical and enzymatic scrubs for powerful yet gentle exfoliation. Volcanic micro-spheres provide mechanical exfoliation, cleansing the pores and ridding the skin of impurities. Resurfacing papain( from paw-paw) provides an enzymatic resurfacing action to stimulate cellular renewal and restructure skin texture.

 Activated plant-derived charcoal captures the deepest impurities and eliminates embedded pollution. Antioxidants stimulate the skin to strengthen its resistance to oxidative stress. These two super-ingredients provide an intensive deep detox to reveal radiant skin.

 But you won't be left with a dry skin- Scrub & Detox also provides a hydrating complex: Niacinamide restructures the skin barrier and provides hydration, whilst Vitamin E traps free radicals and protects skin cells from oxidative stress and the harmful effects of external aggressors.

Filorga says:

"The product should be applied onto clean, damp skin using circular massaging motions, making sure to avoid the eye contour area. Leave for two to three minutes to allow the detoxifying active ingredients to work. Rinse thoroughly with warm water to release the protective complex."

I would have preferred a delivery system similar to the Scrub & Mask, which has an airless pump, but other than that, this product ticks all the boxes- it gives me soft, radiant, smooth skin- you can use it twice a week and you can find it at selected Edgars, Red Square and Clicks stores.
