Need to blitz away the last of winter's dead, dull skin cells? Us, too. We rarely find an exfoliator gentle enough to make it into our skincare regime – but from the all-natural (if weirdly-punctuated) Aussie brand [A'kin] – who've been around for 15 years – this is just fine and dandy.

The corn isn't sharp but rounded (teeny-tiny, non-plastic beads), while the jojoba nourishes as you buff in circular movements. As we say, it's just fine on our touchy skins – kind enough, probably, to use every day if we felt like it. It rinses away with warm water (and/or a muslin cloth, which we always opt for) – leaving skin looking fresher, clearer and generally glowing-in-a-good-way.

We also like it for the chest zone, too – which is oft-neglected, especially in the vest season.

Summer? We know you're a-coming. And we're getting ready.
