Exfolimate Face & Body Exfoliation Product Review


Exfolimate Face & Body Exfoliation - $29.99 US

I got this product as part of an advertorial. 

A few weeks ago an Australian-based company contacted Everything Beauty and Beyond to try out their signature product Exfolimate.  Now this isn't like your normal loofah sponge which is all soft and plushy and comes in different colors, shapes and sizes.  This consists of a plastic handheld device that reminds me of a protractor with a metal edge.  The first time I laid eyes on it I was very confused as to how this could be an exfoliating product.  I even sent a picture of it to my sister since I wasn't sure what to think of it.  But hey, that's what instructions are for, right!!  It looked more like torture device you would use on your worst enemy or something that might be useful to scrape the paint off walls.  Nonetheless, I decided to put this "torture" device to my face and give it a go.  Brave I know, but hey someone's gotta do it!  Might as well be me!


I've been using the Exfolimate for about 3 weeks now. The package comes with two separate exfoliators which is great.  The small one is labeled for the face and the large one used on the body. As noted, I use the small one on my face as instructed in order to avoid any potential damage to the top layer of my skin.  I have pourous, oily skin and sebum constantly builds up in the pores of my nose.  I have used nose strips before that work great to get out the clogged dirty in the pores and blackheads, however those hurt at times and you can't really use them that often during the week.

The Exfolimate was great in scraping out the sebum in the folds of my nose which is always the tricky part to get into. I use it everyday in the shower and I could certainly see the buildup on the blade once I passed it over my skin.  I followed up with my facial cleanser in order to finish the process.  Its important to note that massive pressure is not needed in order for this to work.  Remember this is still your face and you are not scraping concrete here.  Also, make sure your face is nice and wet before using this product.  Applying this to your face dry might not be a good idea and potentially cause irritation.  

The body Exfolimate is great at removing soap buildup around the chest area, in grown hairs and just normal body blemishes in general.  I occasionally try to use a body sponge with an exfoliating side to get rid of the soap buildup. I was surprised to see how the Exfolimate did a great job of taking care of that for me.  You can easily rinse off the blade in the shower just using your fingers.  I wasn't able to use the body one for too long, but I plan on continuing to use the product as a part of my daily shower routine.  This is potentially equivalent to a body scrub and can be used in the same manner.

Also, this product works great on women AND men.  So men, don't shy away from using this.  Nothing says "hotter" then a guy who takes care of his face and body!  At the end of the day, the key to getting good skin and body care is using the right products to achieve that result!

Below is a youtube video from the company which gives you step by step instructions on how this product works.  If you are interested in buying it, but not sure about this device, then click on the video below so that way you get a better appreciation of this product!

May's Spotlight of The Month!


MOR Essentials Neroli Clementine Salt & Sugar Body Scrub - $22 US

I recently went to Winners on the weekend in order to look for a dress for a charity event I was invited to.  However after looking for an hour and not finding any dress, I decided to hit the beauty section and see what they had.  Upon walking through the bath and body section, I saw this beautiful body scrub jar.  There were three more of its kind in different scents.  What I loved about this jar was the packaging and design.  It really reminded me of Old Hollywood!  After reading the back of the jar, I realized that this was a salt and sugar scrub mixed all into one with a beautiful scent.  It was on sale for $12 CDN when it normally retails for $22 US!  SOLD!

I went home and googled the brand as I realized that I had NEVER heard of this company.  They are an Australian company who believe in putting mostly natural ingredients in their products.  They reminded me of the American based company Sabon who are in the same type of business with more or less the same business philosophy.  If you search their website you realize that they make bath and body products plus some lip products as well.  They are currently not selling their products online, but you can find them in certain stores.  I realized that in Canada the only place that sold them was Winners.   
    
My favorite time of the day is bath time!  I shower twice a day! I need to smell clean and fresh everyday all day long! However by the time I came home and went to bed, I decided to use the body scrub in the morning in order to see how the scent lasted throughout the day.  As soon as morning broke I was in the shower.  I first washed my face and hair and then grab this scrub.  When I opened it up, I realized that all the oils were at the top and the sugar and salt were at the bottom and needed to be mixed.  I tried mixing it with my fingers but it was really hard and needed to be broken up in order to mix with the oils.  Nonetheless after a few seconds, the salt and sugar loosened and I was able to mix the whole jar.  I grabbed a small handful and scrubbed my whole body down with it.  I love the scent that was coming from the scrub.  The scrub felt so soft and smooth on my skin and the oils were very luxurious yet not to slippery.  My whole body really felt nice and soft.  

After I got out the shower, I didn't apply cream in order to see how well the oils in the scrub hydrated my skin.  I pat dried myself and got dress.  I was able to smell this scrub on me for a good two to three hours afterwards.  As the day went on, I noticed that my skin felt nice but cream would of made it felt better.  This scrub also comes with a body butter cream in the same scent which I plan to pick up on my next visit to Winners.

This body scrub is amazing and worth trying out.  It comes in many other scents to suit just about every nose.  Nothing like finding hidden gems at Winners!

Keep Smiling!
