I got ‘THE BODY SHOP FACIAL BUFFER’ recently and I totally love it.Yeah!! I made it easy for the lazy bums here. But please read on okay. I have done so much of mehnat!! Phew!!!

The Body Shop Facial Buffer The Body Shop Facial Buffer Review

What it claims - A gentle exfoliating sponge to polish your skin, while cleansing, leaving it feel refreshed and looking radiant. Use daily for a gentle skin boost. Particularly good for use on dry skin that needs to be exfoliated regularly

Price – Rs.145/-
Directions for use – Use daily in a circular motion with your favourite The Body Shop facial wash or soap to cleanse and gently exfoliate. Dampen before use.

My Take on The Body Shop Facial Buffer

The Body Shop Facial Buffer 1 The Body Shop Facial Buffer Review

I had heard some great reviews about this and I really wanted to try it .It pretty much lives up to its claims and works like a dream. I use it two ways, one with my regular face wash as a mild exfoliator, second with a mild scrub for that really deep cleaning(once a week).My skin has become noticeably better and also blackheads/whiteheads are delayed. At 145 bucks, this is a must buy.

I will quickly list the pros and cons.

Pros of The Body Shop Facial Buffer

The Body Shop Facial Buffer 2 The Body Shop Facial Buffer Review

  • It totally lives up to its claims .Exfoliates very well, all dullness gone, skin looks brand new.
  • Is not very abrasive, though you will have to take time deciding how much pressure your skin needs.
  • Easy to use. The band on the buffer makes it user friendly and gives control on movements.
  • One buffer will last long , it is of really good quality.
  • Because of the cleaning and scrubbing, blackheads and whiteheads are delaying themselves.
  • All this at Rs.145/- .

Cons of The Body Shop Facial Buffer

  • Well I didn’t find anything wrong with this. You just need to find the right amount of pressure for your skin, although it is advised that you use it with a light hand so as to avoid any damage. It is easy to go overboard and end up with disaster.
  • You need to regularly clean this for hygiene reasons. Also when using with a scrub, the fine granules tend to settle in the serrated edges. That becomes a little difficult to clean.
  • People with sensitive skin are advised to use great caution.

Will I Repurchase – Yes!!! When I am done with both of my buffers icon razz The Body Shop Facial Buffer Review icon razz The Body Shop Facial Buffer Review
