Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

As a huge proponent of exfoliation, I was absolutely thrilled to be introduced to ViaBuff skin buffs– not only because they are wonderful high quality cleansing and exfoliating synthetic loofah-type tools, but also because they created them in a range types to address targeted concerns. Furthermore, they have a range for the face and the body that are further broken down by the specific needs that are being sought. 

According to ViaBuff,

ViaBuff allows for custom exfoliation because they have taken into account that while all skin needs to be exfoliated, that not all skin can tolerate the same level of friction. They have carefully calibrated their buffs at a variety of levels to accommodate the needs of even the most sensitive skin types.

ViaBuff is an economical choice in that each buff retains a high level of moisture, and it therefore requires very little cleanser (whether for the face or body) to achieve an enviable lather. The large surface area of each buff allows you to exfoliate large areas of skin at the same time– therefore it is a very efficient tool.

ViaBuff, with its proprietary design and materials, is exceedingly durable and long-lasting. The open-cell material, coupled with the durable materials used, facilitates gentle cleaning and buffing without irritating the skin. Skin is left thoroughly cleansed, exfoliated, soft, supple and smooth. Furthermore, the removal of dead skin cells leaves your face and body perfectly prepped to efficiently absorb your favorite serums, lotions and body oils.

ViaBuff Body Exfoliator ($19.00 each from ViaBuff): I simply saturate this buff in the shower and then add a tiny amount of body wash before I knead it to produce a luxuriously dense lather. I urge you to use a light hand, rather than aggressively pressing the buff into your skin– this is a very effective and efficient body buff, and it doesn't require the exertion of a lot of pressure. This leaves the skin unbelievably soft, smooth and supple,. Furthermore, the removal of excess dead skin cells allows for the deeper penetration of body oils and moisturizers, and you will be able to use less product to achieve great results.

According to ViaBuff,

The ViaBuff features an open cell structure that fills with small amounts of water when wet. This allows the exfoliator to be “full” so that cleanser sits on top of the sponge rather than being absorbed, allowing you to use less product every time. When wet, ViaBuff becomes even pillowy soft and increases in size, returning to its original size when air dried.

The ViaBuff Buff Body Exfoliator is non-sensitizing, non-irritating, cruelty-free, and dermatologist-tested.  This product does not contain harsh abrasives.

Directions: Saturate the ViaBuff body sponge in warm water. Apply a quarter-sized amount of cleanser and knead the ViaBuff exfoliator to create a cushiony lather. Proceed to wash as normal, applying the ViaBuff in an even, circular motion all over the body. Rinse and wring out to air dry. Hang by strap to air dry.

The ViaBuff Body Exfoliator is 5″ and comes in 4 different levels:

Level 1: EXTRA GENTLE. Purple Buff for oily skin, Acne and Psoriasis.

Level 2: MILD. Green Buff for normal skin and Eczema.

Level 3: MODERATE. Pink Buff for dry skin, ingrown hairs and Keratosis Pilaris.

Level 4: CLINICAL. White Buff for very dry skin.

ViaBuff Facial Mini Buff ($25.00 for 3 Pack from ViaBuff): Prep the ViaBuff Facial Mini Buff in precisely the same way that you would the Body Buff, and once you have activated your cleanser follow by moving the buff across the face in a gentle circular motion. Skin is soft and smooth without being stripped.

Overall Assessment:  I am very impressed by the quality and efficacy of the ViaBuff products that I have tested. In addition to using a light-hand, I also highly suggest letting your Body Buff Body and Face Buffs air out in a cool dry environment. The shower is such a haven for the proliferation of bacterial growth, and thus it is inadvisable to leave them in the shower. I definitely recommend ViaBuff.
