Exfoliating is definitely new territory for me when it comes to skincare. I know that I have a lot of dead skin because when I showed I can easily get build-up off my body when I use my nails. But when I previously used a Korean bath washcloth for exfoliation, I found that it was too rough for my liking. I still wanted to try out Chelle Body's exfoliation kit because it promises to be like no other exfoliator. It does come with an exfoliator stone, which I had never tried. So I gave it a shot. I tried it a few days after I got my legs waxed since I know exfoliation is recommended after. I followed the instructions exactly as stated- I soaked myself for at least five minutes then got the exfoliator mitt wet and rubbed the stone on top. Unfortunately on my legs, despite some vigorous scrubbing, I did not see much rub off. But that's okay since I figure a lot of the dead skin was taken off when my legs were waxed. Next up I tried my arms, and after a bunch of scrubbing, I successfully saw buildup form! I experienced this all over the rest of my body as well which was good. Even if I didn't totally see the buildup that was removed, I could feel it. That being said, I do not know how much of this was due to just the mitt being rubbed on my skin vs adding the exfoliator stone to the mitt. I rubbed the stone onto the mitt several times and it almost felt like nothing was being done there. There was also the issue of the mitt not staying on my hand. I ended up just using it more as a washcloth than as a mitt, which I am sure is fine but was not the original intention with the design of the product. So at the moment, this product does work but I have limited experience with exfoliation. The package says to use the exfoliator weekly for best results, so I do plan to keep using it a few more times. Maybe the exfoliation will get easier and more successful with each use, but only time will tell for that!

Maybe a drawstring mitt would be good, as my hand often slipped out and I just ended up grabbing the mitt from the outside and scrubbed that way.
