The Pouf Mesh Bath Sponge
Behold the Humble Pouf Mesh Sponge
Chances are you’ve seen these bath puffs around the drugstores or beauty supplies, right? At first glance, they may seem superfluous or simply decorative, but in fact, they’re one of the best money-saving bath accessories around.
The secret is, the nylon mesh spider-webby design creates a luscious, sudsy lather out of just a little bit of soap or shower gel. So this seemingly unessential accessory can actually makes your soaps and shower gels last much longer. Depending on your bath or shower habits, you could see your favorite soap or shower gel last you at least up to two times longer!
The idea that ‘a little goes a long way’ definitely applies here. That said, you’ll need to find your own personal ‘lather’ threshold when you try out your new pouf.
How to Use the Money-Saving Pouf Mesh Sponge
Simply dampen the sponge under running water, then glide your soap just a few time across one side, then the other. If you’re using a shower gel or body wash, try squeezing out just a tiny bit on each side.
Then start rubbing and lightly scrubbing any part of your body to start the sudsing. You’ll need motion on your skin to get the lather going, so rub away for a few seconds, and watch how the lather grows the more your rub. I usually start my ‘sudsy scrub’ on my shoulders and collarbone to get that lather going. No particular reason I start there…just habit I guess.
Besides the budget-conscious bonus of using a Pouf Mesh Sponge, using it daily helps keep skin healthier with its gentle exfoliating action. And the soft and sanitary nylon netting air dries quickly after your bath or shower, with the nylon less likely to collect bacteria than natural sea sponges.
