Beauty Box 5

At a certain point in your life, taking good care of your skin becomes really important.

For a long time I focused on lipstick and eyeliner, accepting that my skin was never going to glow or look like Naomi Campbell’s due to years of acne-filled struggles and my frustration with foundation. However, about a year or two ago I started using cleansers, exfoliators, and night creams and I was really impressed by how much nicer my skin felt– I was hooked. 

When I first saw this product, I can admit I was a bit intimidated at first touch, even as an exfoliating enthusiast. The natural loofah feels a little hard in its natural state, but I decided to trust Swissco because I’ve loved their other exfoliating products (seriously, using the Bath and Shower Exfoliating Gloves is my favorite part of my shower routine), and this pad did not disappoint! 

Now a permanent fixture in my exfoliating routine, I use this little guy twice a week with whatever cleanser I’m testing out. It stimulates the blood circulation in my face, gets of dead skin, and, most importantly, leaves my cheeks so smooth! 

BB5 Tip: Be gentle!

The loofah is naturally tough, so a soft touch is all you need to get a good thorough clean. Just soak the pad, then softly buff your face, carefully moving in small circles. 

After you buff, your face will feel a little raw for a few seconds, but I promise that feeling fades before you even get out of the shower– when you start applying your facial moisturizer you will be absolutely amazed at how soft your face feels. It’s hard not to keep touching yourself!

As with any exfoliator, you do have to resist the urge to do it everyday, so limit yourself to using this pad two or three times a week, so that you don’t over-exfoliate. 

Loved your full-size sample from March? You can buy another for $2.00 on the Swissco website! And you should probably grab a few for your friends, too!

Stay soft,
