For organic handcare, a wonderful "terra cotta loofa" that helps exfoliate and smooth dry skin all over the body. Use before shaving for a smoother shave and to reduce ingrown hairs. The Body Buffer works great with soap and water or your favorite scrub to remove dry, itchy skin. Also delightful when heated or chilled before use. Hand-made by a women's cottage industry in Pakistan and hot-fired so it never wears out. Why it Really Works: Terra-cotta, used widely in the Indian Sub-continent, is fired in a kiln, so it never wears out. The "pumicey" texture works to gently scrub away dry skin, and the "washboard" side helps polish skin. Body Loofah is carefully packed, but if breakage occurs, let us know and we'll help make it right for you!
