The Game-Changing Shower Accessory You Don't Even Realize You Need

If you’re simply using a loofah or a washcloth with your favorite cleanser each time you wash up, you may not be getting the most from your shower. If you want soft, smooth, glowing skin from head to toe (and really, who doesn’t?) exfoliation is key—and this shower accessory is a body exfoliating game changer.

Exfoliating both the face and the body can promote a number of positive skin care benefits, including an increase in circulation and the sloughing off of dead skin cell buildup that may be residing on the surface of your skin, causing anything from clogged pores, to a rough-feeling texture, to a dull complexion. In addition to all of that dirty work, exfoliating can also benefit the skin by buffing, polishing, and prepping the skin’s surface for product application—making it that much easier for the skin to soak in moisture—which can result in a better overall appearance and skin that glows.

With so many different ways to incorporate exfoliation into your skin care routines—sugar scrubs, salt scrubs, chemical exfoliators, dry brushes, loofahs…really, the list goes on and on—it can be hard to decide what direction to take on your journey towards softer, smoother, healthier-looking skin. However, something tells us that once you experience the power of The Body Shop’s Body Polisher, you won’t have a hard time making up your mind.

The Body Shop’s Body Polisher is like an unraveled loofah—sans the plastic mesh and potential breeding ground for pore clogging bacteria. When combined with your favorite lathering body wash—we share some of our must-haves, here—the body polisher helps you not only cleanse your skin but also gently exfoliate from your shoulders to your soles. Made from woven nylon material, the Body Polisher provides the skin with intense exfoliation that can leave the skin looking—and feeling—softer and smoother. Another reason to love this game-changing shower accessory? It is machine washable so, unlike your typical loofah, you won’t need to replace it every month and you can rest assured knowing that you are getting a squeaky clean—read: sanitary—scrub down.

We recommend using The Body Shop’s Body Polisher two to three times a week with your favorite body wash for an exfoliation that can leave your body ultra-smooth, supple, and radiant.
