im in the process of sorting my skin out. im a 21 yr old male. i intend to try all of carekates home made stuff, but i cant do this for 3 weeks.
im going on holiday in a week, and want a suitabloe face scrub/toner/cleanser, all combined which i can use.
until now i have been using Nivea mens face scrub, which is doing ok, but its quite expensive and so i may as well try something different as i have almost run out.
im from the UK
any advice would be appreciated!
PS it would be better if it was scent free- dont wanna smell like a girl  |

| philosophy do a combined face wash/toner which I know many people (male and female) love so may be worth a try. |

| I don't know of one that would do all three at once. My suggestion though would be the Jurlique or Dr Hauschka Cleansing Cream. I assume you don't wear makeup so this will be fine as a cleanser, it is also an exfoliator, and it leaves your skin very comfortable. If you have oily skin then you may not even need a moisturiser after using this. |

If you are looking for a cheap cleanser that also exfoliates you could try:
Clean & Clear Exfoliating Daily Wash - £2.69
Neutrogena Visibly Clear Gentle Exfoliating Wash - £3.99
Garnier Skin Naturals Deep Pore Wash - £2.99
Can't say if they are any good as I haven't tried them. I tend to spend a lot more on my cleansers. 
The prices I have given are from the Boots website. If you have a look in Superdrug (or even better is Savers) then they may be a bit cheaper.
Haven't found a product that cleanses, exfoliates and tones all in one. You could possibly skip the toner step in your routine while you are on holiday. Just splash your face a few times with cold water to close your pores after cleansing and exfoliating instead.
Make sure you pack your sunscreen and have a great holiday! |

Here's a good one that's cheap and cheerful and well I use it when I'm caught short:
Asda Clearoderm Deep Cleansing Facial Wash with tea tree & witch hazel.
The ingredients, yes it has some chemicals but the list is suprisingly short and if you have sensitive skin this is no problem. Plus they do one with exfoliating grains in and one without and the best thing it only costs £1.89
For a toner go to your nearest chemist and buy a bottle of with hazel this will set you back £1.15 but even if you use it morning and night it will last you 6-8 months depending on how much you use. I also use this |
