Green People Soft Buff Exfoliator | Review & Giveaway

It's officially Organic Beauty Week, which means a celebration of everything organic beauty stands for. Healthy, whole ingredients and cruelty-free products are just two of the reasons that I use organic skincare and make up. Today I've teamed up with the wonderful guys at Green People, pioneers of natural and organic skin care and one of my favourite brands for incredible products with an amazing ingredients list. They're offering one of my readers a chance to win their Soft Buff Exfoliator, which for today only is on special offer for £14.95 rather than £19.95. I've been trying it out for the past few weeks, and couldn't be happier with the results.

The Exfoliator

I don't have a habit of using exfoliators, finding that my cleansing balm and muslin cloth were doing all the exfoliation that I needed. That was until I tried this, which I now use religiously two to three times a week. It has a gentle base of spring water, orange flower water and sunflower seed oil, with a delicate scent that just hints at fresh citrus. With my oily/combination skin I'm wary of products which may aggravate it too much, hence my avoidance of exfoliators in the past. However this soft buff exfoliator has such fine granules that they glide over the skin rather than abrade it, removing dead cells and dirt that lie deep down in your pores. I've noticed a significant improvement in the clarity of my skin, particularly on my cheeks and around my nose. The rosehip, pomegranate and cranberry seed oil keep this moisturising as well as cleansing, balancing my skin and keeping it fresh and radiant. Other key active ingredients in this include bentonite clay to unblock pores and pineapple extract to release dead skin cells.

The exfoliator comes with a hygienic pump, and resembles a thin cream in consistency. I use this after cleansing in the shower, and it's one of those wonderful products where you can feel the difference immediately! I have really fallen in love with this exfoliator, and have recommended it to a few friends who are suffering with both congested and dry skin. I'm hugely impressed with the fact it's 92.4% organic, and so happy that it works better than any other manual exfoliator I've tried.

In honour of Organic Beauty Week, each day this week Green People are offering special discounts on some of their most popular products with free delivery too. For today only you can get £5 off their Soft Buff Exfoliator - worth every penny in my opinion!

However, if you'd like the chance to win one of two exfoliators, all you need to do is enter below. The competition ends Sunday 14th September, at the end of Organic Beauty Week, and you must live in the UK. Good luck!
