Hi Tory,
I'm now at the halfway point with LUSH's Coalface soap, and the problems I was having last week with the red bumps has pretty much disappeared altogether. Next step is to use the soap twice daily, and step it up with an exfoliator. It's looking good!
Hugs and kisses,

Hi Tory,
Smoother, more even skin - a big plus! Little red bumps here and there - not so sure!
It's a bit of a mixed-bag review this week - I don't know if the red bumps are a reaction or whether they show that my skin is detoxing... answers on a postcard! I'm going to persevere and see how we are next week.

Hi Tory,
it just didn't work for meWell, I've been using the Neutrogena Wave Duo on and off for two weeks now, and this is my final update... it just didn't work for me. I was hoping that I'd found a more affordable alternative to the Clarisonic, but sadly not, so it's back to saving the pennies for me!
If you don't have any issues with sensitive skin, then the Duo is a nifty little gizmo, but any areas of sensitivity just don't gel with it at all, and I am genuinely gutted about that.
Back to the drawing board!
The Duo Wave is available at Boots and Superdrug, and retails for around £9.99.

Hi Tory,
I can see an improvement in my skin toneHere we are at week one of using Coalface by LUSH, and already I can see an improvement in my skin tone and the number of blemishes and dark spot on it. At £4.50 for a 100g chunk, it goes a very long way, and if the results keep on like this I'll be very happy indeed! The next update is in a week's time :)

Hi Tory,
Not many of us can afford the all-singing, all-dancing Clarisonic for our faces - I know that I certainly can't... so instead I invested in a Neutrogena Wave Duo, which does roughly the same job of exfoliating and deep cleansing your skin, but for a fraction of the cost.
has anyone else tried this with better or similar results?It's battery-operated, and the basic principle is that you attach a cleansing pad to the unit, wet your face, switch the Duo on, and you have two speeds of vibration and movement to dislodge excess oil and debris from your skin, take off the dead skin cells and so on.
To be honest, although I had very polished skin after using it for a week, it was extremely dried out and I ended up with two very flaky red patches around my mouth. Whether this was due to the unit itself or the cleansing pads, I don't know. I'm going to try it again with my own cleanser and check back in with the results.
The Duo Wave is available at Boots and Superdrug, and retails for around £9.99 (which is something like a tenth of the cost of the Clarisonic!). Has anyone else tried this with better or similar results?Hugs and kisses,

Hi Tory,
This is going to be a series of videos and check-ins, as I'm trying out Lush's Coalface soap, which is supposed to be excellent for combination and congested skin. The main ingredient is activated charcoal, which reacts with things like oil and bacteria, and draws it out of the skin, so it'll be interesting to see what the condition of my skin is like as the weeks go by!
