Spongellé Let's Celebrate and Tis The Season Butterfly Holiday Gift Sets

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Spongellé Let's Celebrate and Spongellé Tis The Season Butterfly Gift Sets are perfect for the holidays!

I have such love for Spongellé Body Buffers, they are so easy and convenient to use, they are incredibly effective, and they smell delicious! You simply dampen the Spongellé Body Wash Infused Buffers with water to activate the lather to effortlessly clean and exfoliate the skin. Each gift set sponge is filled with enough body wash for a minimum of 5+ washes, but I am able to get closer to 10 washes per sponge. 

Once you have used up all of the body wash, the sponge itself is still quite intact, and therefore all you need to do is use it in conjunction with your favorite liquid or bar soaps. The hanging ribbon allows the buffer to dry out easily, but I recommend hanging it outside of the moist environment of the shower to avoid bacterial growth.

These sponges not only effectively remove dead skin cells, but they also leave the skin deliciously baby soft, smooth, supple and moisturized.  Body wash infused body buffers are such a treat to use, and the Spongellé Body Wash Infused Buffers really excel in their ability to clean and exfoliate the skin while delighting the senses with their delightful aromas.

Benefits:

- The perfect gift & decor

- Built-In Body Wash + Buffer

- Multi-Function, Multi-Use, 5+ Uses Per Buffer

- All-in-One Beauty Treatment

- Extracts of Yuzu, Edelweiss, & Vetiver

- Time-Released Lather

- Bacteria-Resistant Cleansing

- Dermatologist Tested

- Vegan Friendly, Cruelty-Free

- Proprietary Infusion Technology

- Chic hanging ribbon design

- Portably designed for travel

Directions: Moisten buffer with water and squeeze to release lather. Massage in a circular motion to cleanse skin. Rinse and squeeze out excess water after each use.
