Exfoliators come in a variety of forms, colors, and levels of utility, but few are as suitable for use on the face as the ViaBuff Exfoliating Puffs. ViaBuff fans know that our puffs come in four strengths in order to meet your skin’s needs and challenges. But our Exfoliating Facial Mini Buffs also sport several other traits that make them an ideal exfoliator for practically anyone and everyone looking for a high-quality exfoliating puff.
It Keeps Bacteria at Bay
We designed out ViaBuff Exfoliating Puffs with a special open-cell polyurethane design that promotes rapid-air drying. While that doesn’t sound like anything to brag about, this special structure prevents bacterial growth in the puff’s crevices, so that you won’t end up rubbing bacteria into your freshly exfoliated pores. Researched published in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology found that plant-based loofahs and puffs are often ideal for rapid bacterial growth, whereas one study from the European Journal of Dermatology found that E.coli and Staphylococcus aureus are some of the most populous bacteria found on nylon sponges.. By preventing the puff from absorbing too much water and using a synthetic material, ViaBuff’s design keeps the puff from becoming too wet (and thus hospitable for bacteria) and also keeps it from developing a mildewy smell.
Different Strengths Cater to Your Skin’s Needs
Your skin puts up with a lot of abuse – it lets you wax it month after month, it endures scorching summer and frigid winters, and even complies as you pop pimple after painful pimple from it during your teenage years. Nevertheless, when it comes to cleansing and pampering your skin, it can be incredibly fickle and temperamental. That’s why we designed the ViaBuff Exfoliating Puffs in four strengths to cater to your skin’s sensitivity and unique requirements. The purple Level 1 caters to those with oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin types, whereas the green Level 2 is preferable for those with normal skin or who suffer from eczema. If you have freshly-waxed skin, keratosis pilaris, ingrown hairs and dry skin, then our pink Level 3 Exfoliating Puff is right up your alley. Finally, our white Level 4 Exfoliating Puff was designed specifically for those with very dry skin.
It’s Abrasive without Damaging your Skin
Seed fragments, pieces of nut shells, and sea salt are all popular abrasives in skin care products. Renowned for their ability to provide a satisfyingly abrasive scrub, these common components also have jagged edges that can rip and tear at your skin, or at the very least irritate it (Dr. Frank Lipman). Microbeads are a more gentle exfoliating alternative, but they are also a significant environmental pollutant and more and more companies are removing them from their formulations (Environmental Science and Technology, EcoWatch) ViaBuff Exfoliating Puffs, on the other hand, are made of an abrasive yet gentle polyurethane. You don’t have to scrub your skin raw in order to feel the satisfying friction that you crave when using ViaBuff Exfoliating Puffs.
It Lasts 3 Times Longer than Most Standard Puffs
Your standard loofahs, puffs and pumices need to changed every 3-4 weeks (Cleveland Clinic). The reason? Those made out of plant-based materials often provide an ideal environment for bacterial colonization. Additionally, dirt and debris can become lodged in the crevices of your loofahs and puffs, leading, which can lead some puffs to deteriorate quickly. Made of an ultra-durable open-cell polyurethane, the ViaBuff Exfoliating Puffs provide a sturdy alternative to flimsy plant-based exfoliators. Even better, it limits the amount of water absorbed and its open-cell structure discourages bacterial growth. But what does this mean for your face? The gentle yet abrasive polyurethane puff ensures that you can have a deep and satisfying scrub without having to rubbing your skin too zealously, thus preventing the likelihood of scrubbing your skin raw or otherwise irritating it. Plus, its long-lasting nature means that you can save more money in the long-run.
Its Surface Area Makes Exfoliating More Efficient
We doubt that you needed yet another reason to love the ViaBuff Exfoliating Puffs, but here’s another thing to love just in case: their large surface area (over 1200 sq/in!). Most puffs are so small that you have to contort your fingers into an awkward position in order to hold it properly. Smaller puffers are not able to exfoliate large sections of skin at a time, meaning that exfoliating can take a few minutes to complete Fortunately, our ViaBuff Exfoliating Puffs were formulated with a significantly larger surface area so that you can both hold it with ease and exfoliate your face more efficiently. Even better, if you are somehow who tends to wear out even your hardiest loofahs and puffs, the ViaBuff Exfoliating Puff’s size means that you will have to wait quite a while and scrub quite vigorously before it’s time to exchange puffs .
Bottom Line
If you are looking for a top-of-the-line exfoliating puff for the face, then look no farther than the ViaBuff Facial MiniBuff. Each of our puffs were designed with a special open-cell polyurethane structure that promotes rapid air drying and discourages bacterial growth, so that you can ensure a deeply-cleansing exfoliative experience. The puffs can be customized to four strengths, yet even the most abrasive puff won’t leave skin raw or inflamed. Via Puff Exfoliating Puffs’ large surface area means that you can exfoliate more efficiently, whereas the puffs’ ultra-durable construction ensures that they will last about three months, or three times longer than most standard puffs.
