With the cooler, and dryer, months among us I tend to have more problem skin due to my increase in use of oils in hair products. That often leaves me searching for the best products to keep my face free and clear.  Luckily, the folks over at Exfolimate asked that I give their tool a try and share my thoughts.  Here goes!

Exfoliamate is a handy exfoliating skin tool that promises smoother, younger skin clear of blockages and ingrown hairs. Each package comes with a face sized exfolimate and a larger tool for overall body use. Each tool is made of a durable plastic with a blunt metal edge used to lift ingrown hairs and remove oil buildup.

Exfoliate is a simple tool and does help remove oil buildup on skin with regular use. Following the directions were easy, however it’s a strange parallel to shaving which often made me feeling like I was shaving twice…which is definitely not a good thing. The benefit is, however, is that is incredibly unlikely that you’ll nick yourself while using exfolimate.

Overall, I think that Exfolimate is an OK product.  In my use of it, I didn’t experience any superb looking skin even with regular use.  My face was definitely not any clearer and shaving not any easier.

Personally, I still prefer an exfoliating scrub/wash which is a lot more enjoyable than spreading a plastic-metal hybird tool over your face and body.  All in all Exfolimate just wasn’t a tool that I would consider to be a helpful part of my daily regimen, despite its cool, unique factor.  I can, however, appreciate the appeal of using a tool versus using a “face scrub”.  It’s a little more akin to a loofah, which I think could really help guys get into the skin care game.  Then again, maybe my thoughts will change…who knows?

Exfolimate retails for $29.99 and more information is avialable online at www.exfolimate.com.
