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!!!
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
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
- 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 😛 😛
Rating – :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Yes rati,
have treid it but not working so well……sorry…..
One of my college suggested beyu product cost 900 have u heard it….
yes i have tried their lip pencil and bronzer. Both were good. And if you are ready to spend Rs 900 for a lip gloss, why not pick up MAC?
sorry to intrude here but dia have u tried colorbar gloss? he flavoured ones that come in a tube? have dry lips and i find it non sticky and moisturising. but i love the maybelline CS range too but that also hasn’t suited u :((
Yup Natasha,
i really donno know whats the problem in my lips it gets so dry looks awkward when gloss are worn……mom says its bcoz i have sens lips……
Thanks Rati…… :))
dia i didn’t get u. have u tried the colorbar tube gloss or not?
looks like a good product, especially since I am so happy with their bath gloves
yep … both are freakin awesomee !!!!! :jaiho:
its a no no for me on skin i have rash prone skin :(( but i guess it shall be pretty good for body 😀
