Buff your way to beautiful skin

  It'll soon be time to swap your winter woollies for the new season's revealing fashions but if you're to carry off those summer skirts and dresses with style, soft, smooth skin is a must.

Every day, our skin filters out waste products, and a build up of old skin cells slowly begins to build up.

In order to keep your skin smooth and healthy, you need to make this built-in skin 'waste disposal' system work as efficiently as possible. And the best way to do that is to exfoliate regularly.

Buff away dead skin cells on a daily basis and you should soon notice a marked improvement, your skin will look brighter and feel more soft and supple within about a week.

Exfoliating products

There are literally hundreds of body exfoliators to choose from, it's a question of choosing the formula that best suits your skin and your budget.

Soothe dry skin

If you suffer from very dry skin, you might want to go for an oil-based product to seal in extra moisture and leave your skin silky-smooth.

The key to getting the best results from oily exfoliators is use them sparingly. Apply too much product and you could end up feeling like you've just stepped out of a deep fat fryer.

Ginger Body Scrub, £25

A luxurious oily scrub worth trying is the Ginger Body Scrub from Origins (£25). It's a delicious combination of gentle skin-scouring salt, ginger zest and nourishing macadamia, soybean, kukui and sweet almond oils presented in an attractive glass jar.

Alternatively try The Sanctuary's jar of Salt Scrub (£7.95 - available at Boots), a blend of salt, sweet almond oil and evening primrose oil that leaves the skin equally soft, smooth and nourished.

Liven up dull skin

If you prefer a fresh feel, Clinique's Body Exfoliating Cream (£16.50) is ideal - especially for those hot summer days ahead. Containing specially rounded granules and salicylic acid to gently buff away dead cells, it's also infused with refreshing essence of menthol to give your freshly-buffed skin a wake-up call.

Other stimulating skin buffers include Botanics Rough Skin Scrub with menthol (£3.20) and the Ephemer's Citrus and Grapefruit Body Scrub (£8). If fresh, green scents aren't really your thing, don't despair, there are plenty of richer-scented formulas to try.

Issima Body Secret
Exfoliating Scrub, £22.50

We love the Boots Natural Collection Pistachio and Babasu twin pots (£4.20). You not only get a skin-smoothing body scrub but a matching body souffle too - both products smell absolutely delicious.

Luxury products

If you fancy splashing out, invest in Issima Body Secret Exfoliating Scrub by Guerlain (£22.50). The whole Issima range smells gorgeous and this skin-buffing treat is no exception.

A unique blend of seashell powder and fine exfoliating grains are contained in a rich gel formula that leaves your skin feeling softer than it has for years!

Skin brushing

Skin brushing is another way to exfoliate pore-blocking dry skin and devotees claim that brushing all-over your body, for just five minutes a day, can shift cellulite and help you to regain your youthful glow.

The sweeping action of the dry brush helps lift impurities and because you're working directly on the lymphatic system, you're also stimulating circulation, which helps speed up the release of unwanted toxins from inside the body.

It's these toxins that eventually build up and help form the cellulite that we all loathe so much.

If you're going to invest in a brush, it's a good idea to buy one with a long handle, so that you can get to those hard-to-reach-places on your back.

Human Nature sell a great brush mail order for £10, which has a detachable handle (telephone 020 7328 5452 for stockists).

Always brush the skin when it's dry, as wet skin becomes more sensitive, and start by working up from the feet, using long, firm strokes - always brushing in the direction of the heart. At first, your skin will feel quite tingly but it's invigorating as opposed to painful.

Make skin brushing a part of your daily routine and you could soon be noticing marked improvements in skin tone and softness.
