This week we test: facial scrub
Clearing your pores of trapped dirt means your skin will benefit more from face masks, and better absorb moisturiser. Your skin will also look brighter and feel cleaner.
Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream (HK$160/100ml)

H2O Sea Mineral Scrub (HK$210/120ml)
The grainy minerals feel like they're peeling off a layer of dirt, but because they're rounded, the effect is mild, and you won't be left red or blotchy. Sea fennel and sea lettuce leave your skin silky.
