Words: Gentleman's Journal
A quality face scrub is often an underrated and underused grooming product amongst men; but applying the right one, if only a couple of times per week, has a host of benefits for your skin. From unclogging pores, to sloughing away dead surface cells, scrubs can leave you with a much clearer and brighter face. What’s not to like? If those weren’t enough reasons to step up your skin care regime, below we’ve curated a selection of the best 5 scrubs available to make purchasing one even easier for you. So no excuses gentlemen – scrub away.

Floris London’s No.89 Face Scrub does more than what it says on the bottle. As well as ridding your skin of impurities, it also brightens using kaolin clay, repairs with vitamin E and even softens facial hair, making it the ideal product to prep your skin with before shaving.
