Tried and tested

Salt, sugar or sand — which is the best exfoliator? Our testers find out with three new scented scrubs.

Sanctuary Spa Cooling Glacial Scrub, €11 ( www.boots.ie )

Even opening the jar of this exfoliating scrub, and breathing in its cool cucumber and aloe-based aroma, is refreshing. The thick sea-salt is gentle, but still sloughs away dead skin cells, while the cooling effect is pleasing, but subtle. I’m left feeling silky smooth and awakened.
