Exfolia Beauty Cloth

When I was asked if I would like to try out the new Exfolia Beauty Cloth** I jumped at the chance. I am one of those girls who uses flannels, muslins cloths and so on to wash and clean my face, always have been. I

The Exfolia Beauty Cloth is described as being a microexfoliation cloth which is suitable for all skin types from oily to dry, teen to mature even the most sensitive. It is also safe to use on your baby's skin and is hypoallergenic. There are no additives, no acids or crystals and as well as being washable, this cloth lasts for 60-80 washes. Exfolia also make the claim that their Beauty Cloth will smooth and soften your skin, minimise hyper pigmentation and scarring, as well as reduce fine lines and wrinkles, deep clean the pores, allow deeper penetration of skin care AND smoother application of self tan and cosmetics. Oh and it is recyclable. Wow!

To look at, this green cloth reminds me of a shammy you use to clean the car, you know the ones which hold all the water...this cloth uses fibres which are 50 to 100 times thinner than human hair and they are put together and designed within the cloth to remove dead skin cells delicately, the description, which I love this is:

"The dense formation of the fibres, provides a powerful wicking action that collects 99% of impurities from skin surface".


When I first used it, it did feel a little rough on my face, so I was careful around my eyes, but after perservering with it and completing my wash routine, my skin afterwards felt extremely soft and smooth, I was quite surprised and I was most definitley left with that 'clean' feel, after washing my face. Scarring, fine lines and wrinkles are not yet a problem for me and nor do I currently have any scarring. But my skin had been in need of a good exfoliation session and this cloth for me delivered with just the use of water and my current favourite cleanser (coming in a post soon).  You are advised to use this cloth 2-3 times a week rather than everyday or once a week if you have really sensitive skin.

I also took this cloth on holiday with me to Spain and used it three times for the ten days I was there to ensure that whilst I would be getting a tan and wearing my SPF, that my skin was in as good condition as it could be. The reason I took it is because I then didn't need to take any other face washing products, no exfoliating balms or facemask, just the cloth and a cleanser which meant more room for other products.

I am a huge fan of the Exfolia cloth, it does what it says it will do for me. It didn't and still doesn't irritate my skin, it is soft and smooth and even after washing in the washing machine, it is just as effective now as it was when I first started using it 4 weeks ago. If this sounds like something you would like to try, then this cloth costs just £10.35 which you can find here.
