The Only Body Exfoliator You Will Ever Need (and it's under $10!)

About a year ago, I’d began to notice some changes in my skin. It was starting to lean more towards the dry side, something I wasn’t used to. I’m not sure if it’s yet another postpartum change in my body or just me getting older (I said older not old lol!) I read articles online about so-called best lotions and potions but none of the ingredients excited me. Body scrubs were another optio but I wanted something that was a bit more exfoliating and eco-friendly.

Then on an online women’s forum I read weekly someone mentioned an African net sponge. Huh? Never heard of it. A little more digging and I realized that was indeed a thing and it was quite the popular alternative to standard washcloths made from cotton! Where the heck have I been?

I saw that a few different websites sold them but I was skeptical of just how well could exfoliate (as well as get clean) from a net? I didn’t want to invest $30 for one bath cloth so what did I do? Go to Amazon of course. Here’s the link to the one (pictured below) that I’ve purchased twice.

Updated September 2021: The link is no longer working. But click here to see what cleansing net I’m using now ;-)
