Although at the time, I felt like a fool for spending £17 on an abrasive wash-cloth, this Japanese Wash Cloth proved a very good investment for silky, soft skin. It’s extremely exfoliating (so watch out if you have very sensitive body skin) and literally does leave you feeling as though you’ve had a full exfoliating treatment at a salon, no matter what cleansing products you use with it. The wash cloth is fantastic at removing the last shreds of self tan so you are squeaky clean and ready to start over, and I end up using it most in the summer for this very reason. I’ve had mine for at least a couple of years and it is still going strong, but I’ve noticed SpaceNK have repackaged it as part of the LifeNK range so it actually looks much more interesting! They’ve also added care information that it needs washing every couple of uses. I don’t really understand this, given that it’s used with shower-gels etc which are cleansing, and it would be a once-only mistake to use it on any delicate parts! That aside, it’s one of my enduring favourite beauty tools.
