We know women who don't bother
exfoliating. They simply wash their face with a mild cleanser, and that's that. But getting rid of
dead skin cells is
essential if you want
smooth, healthy, young-looking skin.
It shouldn't hurt to be
pretty, but sometimes it does. In other words, you have to get in there and use a
little elbow grease, as the saying goes.
That's why buying a
facial cleansing sponge can make a
difference in your
complexion, especially during those
cold, dry winter days.
We've all heard of the
Buf Puf. We've been using one for
years, and we LOVE it. The
first time you use one, you would know. It leaves the
face and
neck feeling
smooth, clean and
tingly. If you overdo the
mild scrubbing, well, you will feel that, too. Your
skin can become
irritated and raw. So,
slow + steady wins the
race.
By the way, you don't have to use only the
classic BufPuf. We found some
cheap + effective substitutes from
Walgreens.

Daily exfoliation will deliver
excellent results. No, it won't result in a
facelift, but a
little scrubbing will take away the
dull, pale complexion and give you back
healthy, glowing skin with a
softer, smoother texture.
When you scrub away the
dead skin layers, your
dermis can breathe
better,
sebum + grime get released from
clogged pores, and your
skin receives
improved hydration.
Winter does a
number on our
complexions both
inside + outside.
Dry, stuffy, cold air, and hot air with
radiators and the like, leave the
skin thirsting for
moisture.
A
bit of
buffing + puffing can only serve you well.
