I heart it. I absolutely do.
Facial wash, water and circular movements with my fingers have always been the way to go when cleaning my face — until I saw this face brush at The Body Shop. It was a Pamper Myself kind of day, and the saleslady was holding a face sponge on her right hand, the brush on her left. Ah, let’s give this new thingie a whirl, I thought.
Egad! I heart it. I absolutely do.
Just squirt facial wash over the bristles and gently rub over your face in circles. It’s great for a light exfoliation and the massage makes for better circulation. When you’re done, rinse the brush and air dry. I felt squeaky clean! After the brush, put on some eye and face cream and you’ll be as clean and pretty as a peach.
I’m thinking you could use this every other day (MWF perhaps?) so your face doesn’t dry out. It’ll be hard to resist not using this everyday though!

February 18, 2008 at 7:52 am (16 years ago)I have one of ’em in a complete facial set from Homedics. But, I must admit, I don’t use it as often as I probably should. I’m way too lazy to do these “pampering myself” stuff.
But, I know I really should do them more.

February 18, 2008 at 9:18 am (16 years ago)oooh! i have one of those, but mine is waaay cheaper than body shop’s! i got mine at landmark department store in the kikay section. it’s a korean/japanese brand
i use it a couple of times a week, when i feel particularly dirty or oily. i think it’s helped my complexion a lot!
