Finally, A Great Body Scrub

Revealing your limbs and summertime go together like airports and Cinnabons.
When the temperature goes up, so do the hemlines.
However, If you’re anything like me, the revealing of said limbs can be startling. Zip off my cargo pants into Shorts Mode™, and you’re sure to find no less than three ingrown hairs. What’s that peeking out of my crop top? Folks, it’s eczema! That’s why I rely heavily on body scrubs. Too bad body scrubs leave much to be desired:
1.They are messy as hell. Scooping wet coffee grounds out of a bag isn’t my idea of a good time.
2.They aren’t scrubby enough for my hippopotamus skin.
3.The granules are either ineffective or too jagged, leaving you with a void where the middle ground should be.
Soft Services’ Buffing Bar solves these woes and then some. Imagine a bar of soap the color of anime water and its most ideal physical characteristics (e.g., grippable, compact, visually familiar). Now imagine that bar is packed with microfine crystals. These crystals don’t dissolve when hit with hot water as sugar and salt scrubs do. That’s the Buffing Bar.
Use it the way you would a bar of soap. Splash some water on it and rub it on your dry areas. I use it pretty much everywhere that isn’t genitals: arms (great for keratosis pilaris), legs (helps free ingrown hairs), toe knuckles, elbows, heels, and on my perky twin peaches. It’s hearty without being aggressive. It can tackle a callus but also a flaky bit of eczema. Just use more or less pressure according to your needs.
Best of all, it comes in a two-pack, so you don’t have to be stingy with it. Buff with wild abandon and save those coffee grounds for your french press, s'il vous plaît.
