I used Clarins before and I wanted to spend a bit less, I bought clean and clear and was very disappointed, it just did not do the job, i also tried also tried a target brand and just was not effective, i figured you mamas out there may have some great tip for a cheap effective product, thanks so much!
I make my own using some regular sugar and a little olive oil. You can also add some raw sugar for a body scrub.
I also use the st ives apricot scrub. some will say it's too rough, but you neednt scrub too hard. I really think it does the trick.
I am a mom of 3 and I sell & use Mary Kay cosmetics. I love the 3-1 cleanser. It cleans and exfoliates everytime you use it. Check out my website at www.marykay.com/stephanir. We have a lot of other products that are also great to have for exfoliating the skin.
I really like the Burt's Bees scrub. It's in a glass jar....and the carton has a big orange on it (can't remember the exact name). It is very reasonably priced. On the pricer side....Philosophy's micro-exfoliating wash is nice.
Happy scrubbing :)
I have also used St. Ives and like it. I think Burt's Bees makes a nice exfoliator too. Body Shop has some fab body exfoliators, I'm sure they make a face one but I've never used it, you might check it out and see, but if you ever need a full body ones, they have the same scents as in the body butters (another AWESOME product!) and work great!
St. Ives Apricot Scrub is my favorite. And I'll even buy the CVS/Walgreens version and they both do the trick very nicely. I've used it for years with great results!
My two favorite are Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub and L'Oreal "go 360 clean" deep exfoliating scrub.
L'Oreal used to make a product called PureZone and that was the best face wash ever, but they stopped making it. It's still available online on some sites, but I haven't ordered it since their "go 360 clean" is so similar.
I use the CVS brand version of the Neutrogena acne body wash (it's orange). I LOVE it! It's gentle enough, but effective... The granules are the perfect size to really get my skin exfoliated.
Good luck!
1 tsp of sugar added to your normal cleanser. It works great I've suffered from acne forever, tried everything including Rx meds and the sugar works!!! I'm finally acne free at 44 it works great on your legs and feet also.
According to Paula Beogun, the best face exfoliator is a tablespoon of baking soda mixed with your favorite cleanser. I LOVE it, works great!!
ST Ives Apricot Srub is the best-and luckily not expensive!
Arbonne has the best in my opinion. The products are not made with added fillers so they are really concentrated and you get only good things in them and they last a really long time since it only takes small amounts. They use only natural herbs and botanicals. I would be happy to send you a sample just send me a private message and I will give you my contact info.

St. Ives Apricot Scrub...found at Walgreens, CVS, Target and the like. You will feel like you have new skin after that treatment!!! I have always liked St.Ives products...their green peel off mask rocks too!!
