Description
Recharge and prime the skin for a clean, smooth shave, with this dynamic exfoliator, formulated with Marine Phytoplankton in a Vitamin E base. The scrub rapidly resurfaces, ‘polishes’ and brightens the skin, lifting the facial hair before shaving and helping to prevent ingrown hairs and blemishes. The skin is left feeling smooth, refined and deeply cleansed.
Directions
Use twice weekly before shaving. Apply to damp skin, gently massage over face and neck and rinse off with warm water. For maximum results, follow with Post Shave Recovery Mask.

Summary
I used to use this before shaving and it works realy well but it's just too expensive. Yes it's a quality product and it works well. It smells good and is very easy to use but so are other products and they cost a lot less. I switched to using it less frequently but after a while I decided that even then it was too expensive.

Thick consistency white cream exfoliator with a gorgeous subtle fragrance of musk, mint and herbs. Fine grain exfoliating particles that do not scratch or irritate the skin. Moisturises and calms whist lifting away dead skin cells. Masculine black, squeeze tube packaging. A little product goes a long way so excellent value for money

Summary
I bought my husband an Elemis Time For Men bundle for Christmas and although sceptical he has finally admitted that these products are excellent in comparison to high street brands. This mask fantastic for eliminating dead skin cells, blocked pores and softening the hair before shaving. The scrub has a gorgeous masculine subtle scent of musk, mint and herbs and has a thick white cream consistency. The grains are more like a fine sand texture which reminds me more of a micro dermabrasion product than a scrub. There are no harsh particles to scratch or irritate the skin even when my husband is a little over zealous with his skin massage. You only need a 5p worth of product for one treatment and in contact with the skin the creamy texture is nurturing and gorgeous! After exfoliating and rinsing away his skin is smooth, extremely moisturised and the hairs beautifully softened for a close shave! We love the pure black packaging of this range which is masculine and makes a quality skincare regime a little less embarrassing for my husband. Used twice a week this scrub has transformed my husband’s skin without a trace of blemishes, ingrown hairs or rough skin. Highly recommended!
