Although nothing can compare to sharing a delicious turkey dinner with your closest friends and family, we at the ViaBuff office are quite excited to do some early holiday shopping this Black Friday. In addition to a bevy of exfoliating serums, wintertime moisturizers, and some broad-spectrum sunscreen, you can bet that some ViaBuff Buffs will be included in our shopping baskets. But why should you include a ViaBuff Buff in your shopping cart this Black Friday? Read below to find out!
- Our buffs are cruelty-free. Ever since its inception, ViaBuff has been a cruelty-free company and has only ever tested its products (under dermatologist supervision) on consenting human subjects. Call us sappy, but we can’t stand using any product that may have been tested on and subsequently injured an animal.
- Our buffs are dermatologist-tested. There is a good chance that most of the buffs and loofahs that you stumble upon in your local drugstore aren’t dermatologist tested. In fact, given recent evidence that loofahs provide a welcome home for bacterial colonization, many dermatologists are now stressing the potential dangers of using loofahs and certain exfoliating puffs (Cleveland Clinic). Similarly, many people find that nylon puffs are too scratchy, whereas loofahs often are not as abrasive as users would like. To ensure that we were delivering the best buffs possible, we made sure to have our buffs tested by a dermatologist before debuting them on the market.
- Our buffs are environmentally-friendly. Most loofahs and nylon puffs are meant to be used for only 3 or 4 weeks, which means that those of us who adhere to a regular exfoliative routine may find ourselves filling up landfills at an alarming rate (Cleveland Clinic). Our ViaBuff buffs last an average of 90 days, which is three times longer than your standard loofah or exfoliating puffs. However, many of our clients report their buffs lasting for several more months whenever they are regularly cleaned and stored in a dry location, meaning that your contribution to the landfill will be a fraction of what it would normally be when using a loofah or nylon puff.
- Our buffs are the perfect size for stockings. Looking for something to put inside your loved one’s stocking? Never fear; both our ViaBuff Body Exfoliator and ViaBuff Facial MiniBuff are small enough to fit comfortably into most stockings, and can even be folded (without losing their shape) if you really are short on space.
- Our buffs discourage water retention. Most loofahs buffs will absorb a great deal of whatever you put on them, meaning that your buffs may soon become soggy and water-logged. However, our buffs’ open-cell polyurethane design limits water and skin care product retention, which in turn allows the buff to stay dry, abrasive, and fully-effective.
- Our buffs are ultra-affordable. There are unfortunately too many great products on the market that are inaccessible to most people due to their high price tag. That’s why we designed our buffs to combine the best of affordability and quality. Our ViaBuff Body Exfoliators are only $11.00, whereas our ViaBuff Facial MiniBuff is only $4.00. For those of you who really enjoy a great deal, we are currently offering three Facial MiniBuffs, a Body Exfoliator, and ViaBuff Handle for only $22.00!
- Our buffs pair beautifully with exfoliating serums. Our fabulous open-cell polyurethane design not only discourages water retention, but also discourages exfoliating serum from seeping into our ViaBuff Buffs. This in turn allows most of the product to stay on the surface of your buff and be gently massaged into your skin.
- Our buffs can be customized to meet your skin’s needs. When you buy a loofah or nylon puff, it’s unlikely that they come in more than one strength or with a specific skin type in mind. However, our buffs come in fourth strengths that are meant to cater to different skin types and conditions. For example, our purple Level 1 Exfoliating Buff is for those with psoriasis, acne-prone skin, or oily skin, whereas our green Level 2 Exfoliating Buff is for those of your with normal or eczematous skin. Our pink Level 3 Exfoliating Buff is for freshly-waxed skin, dry skin, or skin with ingrown hairs or keratosis pilaris, whereas our white Level 4 Exfoliating Buff is for exceptionally dry skin.
- Our buffs are made of an abrasive yet gentle polyurethane. Most puffs and loofahs are either too soft (thus leading you to scrub your skin too vigorously) or too rough and scratchy, which can in turn make small tears in your skin (in addition to making it red and irritated). What makes our buffs so special is that they are made of an ultra-durable polyurethane that provides a satisfyingly abrasive scrub, but is gentle enough where it won’t irritate healthy skin.
- Our buffs have a huge surface area. With over 60% more usable surface area (about 1,200 sq/in) than your standard exfoliating puff, our ViaBuff Exfoliating Buffs make exfoliation ultra-speedy and efficient.
This holiday season, make sure to enjoy good food and good times with your closest friends and relatives. To show your love and appreciation, we suggest gifting one of our ViaBuff Buffs, which are sure to make your loved ones’ skin as radiant as freshly-laden snow.
