Each month we ask our Look & Feel Younger subscribers to test the best anti-ageing products on the market. Our testers trial the products for a minimum of 2 weeks and rate them according to their performance, value and feel good factor.
This week we tested facial scrubs to see how they compared to home microdermabrasion kits. Our top 5 performing products were:-
