I apply a small amount onto wet skin and massage in circular motions, and it’s gentle enough for everyday use. It is very effective at removing makeup although I did use a different product for the eye area, as my eyes are extremely sensitive from having Laser Eye surgery a while ago!! It’s hard to explain, but the GinZing scrub is so refreshing and makes your skin feel slightly tingly, and ‘awake’ for the day.
There are lots of beads in the gel and sometimes i’ll still have to wipe a few off after I’ve finished cleansing, so I mainly use it in the shower so that there is plenty of water to splash it off with. With many exfoliators, I have to use a thick moisturiser afterwards, but this one doesn’t dry out my skin, so I can still use my everyday products.
I follow up with the GinZing moisturiser (review here) and the two together give my skin such a treat, with an awakening effect that means you can skip the coffee altogether!
The GinZing scrub costs £18.50 and was recently launched exclusively in store in Selfridges. You can also get it on the Origins website, and it will soon be rolled out to all Origins stockists.
