Crystal clear

It’s been awhile since we tried a physical exfoliant rather than an acid peel, but this scrub is one of three newbies from Clarins, all of which contain natural beads from wood cellulose, beetroot sugar or lava. There’s also Fresh and Pure, but we liked the gentle Comfort, which smells sweetly of its wild mango butter ingredient and contains very fine sugar crystals that buff so gently, it can even be used on lips.
