Philosophy The Microdelivery Exfoliating Facial Wash

'Micro-massage exfoliating treatment'

Winter dries out my skin like no tomorrow, I tell you, and I don't even have a particularly dry skin type! It's a desperate bid to buff away my scaly winter skin and reach peachy skin perfection in time for Spring/Summer where heavier makeup just doesn't work with the weather I put all sorts of scrubs and treatments to the test. My latest trial has been Philosophy's Microdelivery, an exfoliating face wash and 'micro-massage' treatment in one.

The Microdelivery is an exfoliating, everyday use face wash with a gel-like, sulphate free formula saturated with tiny micro beads. The packaging is in classic Philosophy style but be careful to only dispense a little product from the flip-cap top at a time, it's all too easy to go ahead and pour away but a little really goes a long way with this! To apply simply wet your face with warm water, apply a tiny drop to your fingers and buff over the skin in circular motions.
There's so much I love about the Microdelivery, my skin feels peachy soft and squeaky clean after use, its micro-bead formula gently buffs at my skin without causing any redness and it just leaves a super smooth, de-scaled finish without any flakiness in sight. My skin practically glows after I use it, really!
The Microdelivery works really well as an exfoliator, and although it leaves my skin feeling perhaps a touch dehydrated after use this isn't something that can't be fixed with a dab of moisturiser. The scent is a little odd, not quite like anything I've ever used before, its quite herbal but nothing too potent or noticeable after use. I use it up to three times a week, it has 'mini peel' ingredients in its formula so I feel this is enough usage to prevent any irritation to my easily irritated skin, normal skin types can go right ahead and use this once a day every day if you so wish but I approach with care.

Philosophy The Microdelivery Exfoliating Facial Wash retails for £22/240ml from Philosophy stockists such as Boots and Debenhams, you can also pick it up online from the Philosophy website.
