The Body Shop Bath Gloves

I picked these up for about three euro, which is about five or six dollars. They are pretty expensive but I figured I would give them a try.

The Body Shop says:

These bath gloves increase the lather of your body wash and whisk away dead skin cells.
Remove dead skin cells
Increase the lather of your body wash
Leave skin feeling softer and smoother

They come in a variety of colors but I chose my favorite, orange. They are pretty scrubby and don't seem to lose any of they're scrub as I've been using them. Of couse you don't get as much foam as you would with a shower pouf but it does ok.


I love these because you can kill two birds with one stone, no more sudsing up and THEN using a scrub this turns your shower gel, cream, or soap into a scrub thus eliminating a step.(also saving money because you won't have to buy a scrub). Perfect for those that are in a time crunch. I also notice that if I'm using a soap that lingers this makes it linger a little bit longer.

Since I've been using this my skin is a bit smoother, but I find that I can't use this everyday. My skin can only handle this about every other day or every third day. Once you get used to the scrubiness the gloves feel extremely nice. So massaging.

Overall I reccomend them. I think I'm going to try a few different brands and see if there really is a difference in quality (these are good quality).

Earth Therapeautics Trio Collection Body Sponges

So I needed another bath pouf because my other ones kept falling apart. But I can't really complain as they were cheap. So as I browsing my local PX, I saw these. Immediately I wanted it. Mostly because of the yellow spongy thingy. I think Ernie used one of these. Ernie from Sesame Street. You know the one with the rubber ducky. Stop laughing at me. I used to love that show.

But anywho, I bought it for about six dollars making each one around two dollars. That's not bad right?

So there are three sponges.....

Hydro Body Sponge-For an invigorating bath or shower this sponge will give you loads of lather

My favorite. It has a handle making it hard to drop and produces lots and lots of bubbles. And it hasn't fallen apart on me. Yay.


Foam Body Sponge-The basic staple in a complete body cleansing regimen

The lather on this one was pretty decent. It seems to produce a little tiny bit of exfoliating. The only thing I didn't like was it seems to have tiny bits fall off every time I use it. I still like it though.



Natural Loofah Sponge-Exfoliates skin gently leaving it soft and smooth.


This is the one I NEEDED. I didn't realize how good exfoliating was for your skin. It rem
oves the top layer of dead skin making lotions and creams more effective. My skin looks better and feels smoother since I've been using this weekly. And it eliminates the need for a separate scrub. All you do is lather up (with separate sponge) then smooth this over skin. The only thing I don't really like is that it is a little hard to hold.

Overall, I'm happy with this trio and would repurchase IF I repurchased things.
