Buf-Puf is the ‘gold standard’ in facial exfoliating sponges.

Overview

This gentle version of the Buf-Puf brand of facial sponges hits just the right spot for exfoliation to brighten your complexion. Lift stubborn makeup, oil, product residue and dull skin cells for softer and smoother skin that’s ready for your correcting and moisturizing products!

I’ve used this sponge on a range of complexion types in my dermatology practice. My family and I have also depended on the Buf-Puf Gentle Sponge for our own daily facial cleansing throughout the ages. I've sold this trusty sponge in my practice and website for years until it became difficult for us to obtain. We switched to the Harmon sponge out of necessity. Now the Harmon sponge is gone and we've been able to source the Gentle Buf-Puf again and bring it back!

I'm thrilled to once again carry the Buf-Puf Gentle Facial Sponge because it is my absolute favorite facial exfoliating sponge! - Dr. Bailey

Physical exfoliation with the Buf-Puf is appropriate for all but the most sensitive complexions; brighten your complexion instantly and enhance skin penetration of your important correcting and hydrating products when you gently exfoliate with the facial Buf-Puf. 

The Buf-Puf Facial Sponge is especially ideal for acne and anti-aging skin care routines. Seborrheic dermatitis flakes are also easily lifted and rinsed off in the morning when you gently massage your favorite cleanser and/or Calming Zinc during your cleansing step.

Helps to improve uneven skin color and texture due to retained dead skin cells. Allows makeup to glide more evenly over your complexion to enhance results.

Ideal daily gentle exfoliation to use with your favorite facial cleanser.

Directions

Dampen your sponge with tepid to warm water and add a dollop of your favorite cleanser or brush the sponge on to your bar of Calming Zinc. Wet your face then gently massage your facial skin with the sponge using a slow circular motionto lather your cleanser. Note that the pressure your apply and the amount of time you massage your skin allows you to entirely control the level of exfoliation.

Rinse your skin well with tepid to warm water to remove all cleanser, dull cells, oil and stubborn product residue to reveal clean and smooth skin. Use your Buf-Puf Gentle Sponge daily or as tolerated to brighten and cleanse your complexion.

After use, rinse the sponge well until the water squeezed from it runs clear. Firmly squeeze out excess water and allow your sponge to dry by setting it on its end at an angle to allow air circulation.

Pro-tip for Buf-Puf Facial Sponge Use:

Replace sponge every 4 to 6 weeks. Some people have had success ‘reviving’ a spent sponge on a gentle cycle in the washing machine in a garment bag (no fabric softener!).

Caution: as with all exfoliation practices, do not use on irritated or sensitive skin, do not use on irritated skin growths, infants or babies. If irritation or redness persists, consult your medical care provider.
