Certified mojo boost from SkinnyDip

Quite recently I read an article about how plastic microbeads in facial scrubs and exfoliators are entering our food chain and damaging our ecosystem - in my view a crime to both skincare and the environment.

When it comes to exfoliating, I usually find a sponge and one of my go to face washes, such as Odylique’s Lemon & Tea Tree Purifying Wash, does a mighty fine job. However, I’d heard very good things about the exfoliating facial cleanser from SkinnyDip, Jojo Mojo (RRP £8.00), and what with SkinnyDip being a natural skincare brand based in my hometown, I’m all for supporting local independents.

Made from avocado oil, shea butter and containing natural jojoba grains (NOT plastic nastiness), the combination gently cleanses and exfoliates the skin. Packaged in a bright orange glass jar, the product itself is rich and creamy, making it easy to apply and with a very mild scent of mandarin and frankincense it's quite heavenly. 

You can really feel the tiny jojoba beads giving your skin a deep and intense clean, without it being too abrasive or harsh, which you can often find with exfoliators. In fact it’s that gentle, SkinnyDip claim it can be used twice daily! 

Moving the cream in small circles around my face and neck, it was easy to work into the skin and as the cream dissolved only the jojoba grains remained to be washed off, which was a straight forward process using a warm wet muslin cloth. It was actually so easy to remove that I was shocked to find no sign of residue was left on my skin. 

The results...

‘Oh hello!’ were the actual words that left my mouth. Granted I’d used this product before going to bed, but waking up to a smooth, clear and moisturised complexion, the results not only remained for the rest of the day, but the entire week! Thank you Jojo for giving my skin its mojo back.
