Exfoliation after epilation:) Preventing ingrown hairs

[lalamazu]

I wonder if this is the same type of material that they use to make the exfoliating shower gloves. Look for the shower gloves and use them for the face as they may be a little more convenient. I have used them recently and I love them. My skin does feel like a baby's bottom.  They sell them at cvs, walgreens and other stores.

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@lalamazu It is simmilar but not quite the same. I've used the gloves before but wasn't as impressed with them as I am with this towel. Sounds like you can literally get this towel in every single asian market just about everywhere:) If you ever get the towel, let me know what you think:)

[srjinlv]

Your comments crack me up... Oh yes..I highly recommend this. I've been using this type of towel for a good 25 years now. We have it hanging in the shower..I have never used a washcloth in the shower before. We bought ours from the local drug store for like $1 or $2 at the most. Of course this was in Hawaii where there is a lot of Asian Persuasion goodies.

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@srjinlv Cracking up is a good thing. Life is way too serious, gotta have some fun sometimes too:) I'm glad you commented. When I love something, it is so awesome to hear what other people think about the same product. Thanks for giving some input:)

[mplp11]

You are 100% right about this towel. I picked one up at my local Asian market, the original from Japan. Fanfriggintastic_:) My husband loves it as well!! Please make more videos, you give the most honest reviews. Thanks for bringing attention to this wonderful product.

All the best!! Newly subbed and loving it :0)

-M-

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@mplp11 Oh sweetheart, you just made my heart fart chocolate bubbles with this beautiful compliment. I am so very happy you and your hubby enjoy this towel. My hubby likes it too! I am planning a couple this weekend. One on the Brazillian blow out, which I got done 2 days ago, and one on supplements to help carb cravings:)

[Slemmans1]

I just bought one today from bed bath the exact one can't wait to try!!:)) thank u for taking the time to share these cool things with us, I appreciate the time u put into these vids!!:))

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@Slemmans1 Oh, you are so very welcome hun:)

[TheLoveSiren]

What about the Earth Therapeutics Anti-Bacterial Complexion Towel ?

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@TheLoveSiren What about it? Do you like it? Is it simmilar? I am sure there are many brands of this. Choose one and let me know what you think:)

[mmorandin]

okay I'm going to try it!

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@mmorandin Good stuff, you won't be disappointed:)

[Rockysmom1234]

I can't wait to try this! Thanks so much. I'm going to check out your fitness videos too.

[kperez1986]

How many times a week do you exfoliate your body? Do you get worry if you over exfoliate you might cause stretch marks?

[allibeth68]

Will be picking this up tomorrow for sure!!! Thanks to you and Gina!!!

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@allibeth68 Good stuff!!! Keep us up to date of your "review". I can't wait to hear what you think:)

[daisytrish]

I have a Clarisonic and I luv it...I was honestly thinking of getting the one for both face and body. I'll try this towel and see if I can save myself some money! THANKS for the tip! <3

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@daisytrish OMG hun, that is sooo unnecessary. I promise you you will love this towel. Your body will be so smooth it will feel like you are running your fingers over an inflated balloon:) Let me know what you think.

[TubingBreak]

Thanks for sharing... I got the day off tomorrow and going to go pick this up and get my scrub on. :) Your looking beautiful as always. :) Hugs~Kimmy

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@TubingBreak Hey gorgeous person! I am so glad. Like I told everybody else, when you use this for a week, please come back to me and give me some feedback. I would love to get your input. You all are fountains of valuable information, and just because you all don't make videos, doesn't mean that your opinions don't count:)

[wadebowenfan]

It's 28 degrees in Chicago - I'd love to be on your patio!! xo

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@wadebowenfan OMG hun, I totally GET it! I feel so sorry for all my friends in Canada, and I am so extremely thankful that I am not there right now. 14 years of shitty long cold dark winters was just 14 too many. I am so thankful to be in California. However, it is of short duration. Once the house sells we will have to move to Atlanta, then the "holiday" weather is over for me too:((

[KMayflower]

I bought one of these at target or what I believe is one of these and it is so nice because it dries out in the shower and never seems dirty or smelly or anything. It gets all of the spots that are hard to reach. If you soak in the tub and then use this to get all of the dead skin off twice a week and then lotion up, your skin will look amazing! You always have good practical tips!

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@KMayflower Holy shit, I just lost my reply. What I said was Awesome! I love that you guys give more info for the other subbies to read, so everybody can get help. I actually use it on my face twice a day and on my body everyday.  I agree, it makes your whole body feel so soft and squeeky clean:)

[KMayflower]

@thebarbiewithmuscle OH, I forgot to mention that I used on my face too, but you are absolutely correct in that you should wait for it to soften up a bit, but I use this on my face just like you described everyday in the shower. I also use my clarisonic but only at nite. I guess I have never seen anyone else use this? I'm glad the secret is out!

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@KMayflower LOL, I hope everybody else enjoys it as much as we do. I was worried about people with dry, sensitive skin, but Gina looks like she enjoys it too, and that is how her skin is, so that is good:)

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@KMayflower Oh yes and forgot to say thank you as well:)

[ladydove0912]

I swear by these towl thingies! I have a local Mom/Pop Asian Shop who sell them in different textures. $1.99 each!! Perhaps your viewers can check those types of places out too? The best part is that you can actually throw it into the washing machine and it doesn't harm it at all. After washing it 5 times it does lose a bit of it's texture, but for $1.99, I can buy one a month and not feel a bit guilty. You are going to start a shortage, every BB&B will wonder why they can't keep them in stock!

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@ladydove0912 LOL, yea BB&B might think about paying me commission:) The reason I chose BBB is because when I find something I try and find a common place where everybody can find it. I feel so bad if I tell people I got it at my local asian store, and if they don't have one they miss out. I did say that I got it at Marukai first, so I assume if people have Asian stores they will check it out, but I tells ye, with people you never know.... Thanks for commenting sweet thing.

[peasandhoney]

Excellent advice.

xo

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@peasandhoney Why thank you:)

[MichCoccaBene]

Hey Marinda! I am definitely going to try this! I like how its long so you can get your own back! Your arms and shoulders are just amazing, perfect, I don't know how else to explain them! just gorgeous!

xo Michele

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@MichCoccaBene LOL, sweetheart, by no means is there anything on me that is perfect. I thank you though for the beautiful compliment. Please let me know your feelings once you try this towel. I would rather be without my Clarisonic than without this towel. I want to get feedback to see if I'm the only one on youtube that feels like this, LOL

[MichCoccaBene]

@thebarbiewithmuscle Ok so I bought this today, with my 20% coupon it was just above 5 bucks, anyhoo, O M G this product is GREAT! My skin feels so soft right now, for me I'm only using it on my body but this is going to be a new staple in my beauty arsenal! I'll be picking up more! How long do you keep one for? I don't remember if you mentioned that in the vid. Thanks for the awesome recommendation!

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@MichCoccaBene My last one I had for about 6 months. there was still nothing wrong with it, but I longed for a new "coarser" one, LOL. One gal on here throws hers in the laundry and has had hers for 10 years!!! I'm gonna try it, but I don't think it should be a hot cycle and definitely not the dryer, since you don't want the thing to melt. I'm glad you came back with feedback:) thanks for that...

[mqs7524]

Hello there! :-)

I was told to use Dead Sea salt mixed with Sesame Seed oil for exfoliation however your option seems less messy and time consuming! :-)

Highly appreciate your rec's,

TY

xx

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@mqs7524 That is a wonderful spa like feel, to endulge in a little dead sea salt treatment, but I don't have time for sh.tuff like that on a daily basis. My life is too busy, I want stuff that works and is not going to take up too much time. And frankly, I can't say that the dead sea salt scrubs actually cleared my ingrowns. Do them anyway sometimes, it is good for the soul:) What are you up to?

[crisischris327]

Great video! I am going to look for one of these. You just saved me so much money! Thanks!

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@crisischris327 No problem, now as I say to everybody, I really would love to get feedback from you guys who actually go out and buy this thingy, so come back and chat with me okay? Money saving is something I like, especially in this friggin expensive San Diego!!!

[strigla22]

Hello, I'm so glad you're back! I love your videos. Have a wonderful weekend!

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@strigla22 Thanks hun, glad to be back. And the same to you. Hope your weekend is filled with awesomenesses too:)

[lupitaramos80]

I love you!!!!! I was so thinking about purchasing the MIA but I trust you more. I found some facial sponges at cvs that I think do the same thing. Thank you!!!!

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@lupitaramos80 Oh hun, save your money. Look I am not saying the clarisonic is crappy. It is nice to have but it is definitely no miracle machine, and there are thousends of exfoliating techniques that do the same. Is it however something you can't live without, HELL no. I have it and frankly, I don't jump around to use it. I love this towel and it is so easy for travelling etc. I have one in my shower and one at my tub. The bestest little gadget I've ever used, and stupid really, LOL

[eighthcylinder]

OMG I just saw this towel on QVC sold by Space NK for $35.00 with the cleanser plus S&H of $6.00....glad I didn't buy it from them....thanks so much Marinda...loving your weather there. It's 20 degrees in Michigan with snow! :)

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@eighthcylinder Holy shit, you're kidding me... about the price and the snow, LOL. That is so retarded. Nope I have been using this towel thingy for a year now, and I doubt I would pay that for it ever. However, I like it enough that if it is impossible to come by anymore, I would most probably be retarded enough to pay that, but I would be pretty pissed off while doing it:)

[magicadespell56]

well beautiful let me tell you how i am doing!~ we are covered in ICE!! YESTERDAY hubby 4got to get cat litter and toilet paper! so we had to chip our way into the car! i want one!!! wonder where i can get it-i have a stupid bed bath and beyond- they don't have that section-i am going to look on line- i use my clarsonic once in while- i usally forget about it- off to find this human sandpaper!!! lots love x shelly ps how many times can use it and do you wash it? or toss it?

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@magicadespell56 Hey Shelly:) I know what that feels like, believe you me. I use it twice a day, it lasts about three months, then I replace it because I feel it gets too soft. some people say you can wash it in the laundry. I never thought of doing that. I always make sure it is rinsed out well and hang it to dry when I'm done. But another said she had hers for years.. Not sure I would do that though...

[loveandmathematics99]

thanks for this video! this is definitaly one of those things that i would overlook in the store...now i dont feel like i need to speend $200 for a clarosonic! also is gina your daughter? what is her youtube name?

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@loveandmathematics99 Hey sweetheart. No Gina is a friend of mine and she is also a youtube guru. In fact she has been on youtube way longer than me. I subbed to her when we were still back in Canada, and she decided to sub back. Then we moved to San Diego, and when we talked, we realized we live very close together, and that's why she is sometimes in my videos or I am in hers:) Her youtubename is Ginabinawina99. Her crazy cats have a channel too, LOL

[cheriatthe2ndhalf]

Thank you so much! I'm always looking for a better way to exfoliate my body. And this looks just right up my alley. Hugs. cheri (so glad your making videos again)

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@cheriatthe2ndhalf Yeah girlie!!! You are so welcome. I am sure you will enjoy it just as much as me. Even Gina's skin felt like mine when she was done. It truly is fabulous. Her skin is dry, mine is oily/combo, and now dry (weather caused that little booboo). For both of us, it worked great:)

[Ultimatecruegirl]

Holy shiznit Miranda!! I have been wanting that Clarisonic for FEAKIN ever!! I almost got one this Christmas but the car died so you know where the money went. Now you are telling me this towel thing is better. I WANT to kiss you all over your soft glowing FACE! Bless you for telling us about this. I would never come yell at someone cause a product didn't work for me. Nothing works for everyone the same. But you can BET your sweet bippy I'm going to try this!

God I'm SO glad you are back

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@Ultimatecruegirl Oh hell no, that Clarisonic is NICE to have, but that is about it. You can totally go without it, and I promise you won't die. It didn't make me any friggin younger looking, in fact..... I have aged another year since I've been gone, LOL. That damn clarisonic has been built up to have this "stigma" of miracles, which is totally bulshit. Remember it is NICE to have, but a necessity? No friggin way in hell. Let me know what you think of the towel:)

[capsterful]

So glad you're back. Thx for the tip! I will try...cheaper than exfoliating body cleansers.

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@capsterful ABSO-FRIGGIN-LUTELY!

[preservid]

I love your videos, They are funny Honest and bring a smile to my face., I can not afford a clarisonic, so being middle age...ok I am 53, I need all the help I can get, I am running to BB&B tomorrow to get this! Thanks

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@preservid Oh hell chickidoo, that expensive doodad is fabulous, but you can totally live without it. It did me no miracles I can assure you. I still look as old as I am, so I am with you on this one. After using it, you HAVE to let me know your feelings, promise?

[metallicleoraa]

I just saw one of those somewhere and it's going to bug me now till I find it again and buy it! I love to exfoliate the body. Thank you for This video!

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@metallicleoraa Yay, and yes I KNOW what you mean. I am for two days now, so pissed off at myself. I saw a Zoya polish I want, and I KNOW I've seen them a ghazillian times before, and I can't remember where! Ulta or Sephora or one of the ghazillian beauty places I always go to, LOL. Drives me crazy.

[metallicleoraa]

@thebarbiewithmuscle I would say Ulta. Not Sephora for sure. I want to paint my nails so bad but it takes me ages. I need to practice though!!

[Nekuccia]

hi marinda! I have the same kind of towel and I LOVE IT! I thought I was the only weirdo using that cloth, lol, all my friends use the gloves...Got it at The Body Shop (in Berlin, but I am from Italy) almost 10 years ago...I wash it every time I use it and it still works great, even if it's not as coarse as it used to be...I never bought a new one because I'm afraid it won't be of the same quality.I still do experience ingrown hair in my legs if I don't use it well, but it's great for dead skin

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@Nekuccia Holy cow lady Jane, maybe it is time for you to get a new one, LOL. I didn't find the quality any better or worse than I bought from Marukai. They are exactly the same, except Marukai has more color choices. This only comes in beige:)

[Nekuccia]

@thebarbiewithmuscle LOL! you are probably right, but believe me it still looks new :) x

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@Nekuccia hehehe....

[Thekatieab]

Ohhh I am so jealous of the beautiful weather where you are! We got 3 inches of snow. :( Well I guess I am now taking a trip to bed bath and beyond, lol. You have convinced me. Do you use it daily? Also, do you you any chemical exfoliants (ie bha or aha)?

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@Thekatieab Hey hottie! Madam, I use that thing not only everyday, but I use it twice a day, every single time I wash my face, and guess what I use for night creme after? Friggin dupe to egyptian magic! My damn skin went from oily to dry, with this weird weather, and I got these retarded flaky skin around my nose and mouth. Fixed it right up after 3 uses, so I just continue on, even cleared up a pimple!!! sheesh, friggin awesome shit that stuff.

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@Thekatieab Fuck, where did my reply disappear too? I SAID...sigh... I do exfoliate with something else, but not chemical... will do a video on it soon, still only used it three times, got to go a bit more... want to make sure the results are as they promise before I go and tell everybody about it.

[Thekatieab]

@thebarbiewithmuscle LOL, you crack me up, madam! I just ordered one of those enzyme exfoliators from sasa that kokolaroo is always raving about. Not the super ass expensive one, but the more reasonably priced one. Called yogurt berry something or another. I can't wait to try it.

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@Thekatieab I don't watch Kokolaroo so I am slightly clueless about the mask. If you like it I assume you will do a review on it? Send me a picture so I can see it, if it is any good, then I might get some as well:)  Or maybe if you show me a picture I can see if I can pick it up at Marukai!!!

[Thekatieab]

@thebarbiewithmuscle I will.

[JustBeingDena]

OOh I'm so excited to get this now!! I'm going to BB&B to get more KCups today, and now I'm getting this TOO! You look beautiful, and I'm so happy you are back :)

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@JustBeingDena Hey wat are KCups? Is that something I should get:) I am glad to be back. Missed you all like crazy!!! Thanks hunnybun for the beautiful compliment.

[mizladytaz]

hmmm. I need to look into this!! ;0) My Bed Bath & Beyond is only about 5 miles away! ;0)

BTW, this can be bought off Amazon too. I saw Ulta in the list, as well. Just Google "earth therapeutics exfoliating hydro towel" and there ya go! ;0)

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@mizladytaz Well, aren't all of you beautiful peoples all smarticle too!! I love when you guys add info to my videos to help my other subbies out. You are freaking awesome!

[ooglemakeup]

oh I must get this, has anyone from UK found it anywhere?? If not, might have to swap for it. I hardly use my clarisonic either. Love your videos, glad you are back xx

[virtualspaniel]

@ooglemakeup please let me know if you find it in the UK, sounds so easy (and cheap!)

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@ooglemakeup Oh HELL yeah, we can swap. My God, I want those damn sleek pallets, and couldn't find anybody to swap with!!!!

[ooglemakeup]

@thebarbiewithmuscle Oh you're on! let me know haha xxxx btw can you send me some of that weather too?! lucky thing I am SO jealous!!!!!

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@ooglemakeup OK, but before we exchange, let me show you a couple more things I got, because baby I want ALL those pallets and at least half the blushes. So let me throw out a couple more videos then you can decide what else you want. But don't you friggin forget, Make a list for when you message me. I was thinking of something electronic I have that you might want, but the electricity is not the same:(

[ooglemakeup]

@thebarbiewithmuscle ok cool, as long as these things are not LE as sometimes Sleek can be a nightmare with its LE stuff...! Let me know, be my pleasure to help you out. I will be keeping a close eye on your vids then (there are always plug adaptors so it might be fine!?) well we'll work it out I'm sure xxxx

[ssaah59]

I have been using this type of product in the shower for years...they last forever, can throw them in the wash to keep them clean/sanitary. I usually pick them up at the Korean/Asian market for cheap!!

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@ssaah59 That is good to hear. I picked them up at the Asian store the first time, but didn't want to review it if no one could get a hold of it. Now at least I know most people will be able to get it, And yes do you agree they are awesome? I didn't think of doing them with the laundry:)

[ssaah59]

@thebarbiewithmuscle Hi Lovely!! Yes, they are awesome! You have to get used to them at first, but when I go without, I don't feel like I've cleaned my self properly. I have dry flakey skin, specially my legs, and this 'towel' is the best exfoliant ever. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky. As for laundry, yes, when i throw in a load of towels or my personal items, i throw in it, but I always have a backup. xoxo

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@ssaah59 Absolutely!  I'm gonna wash mine. I never have before, but I didn't know you could. Next time I do my towels I will throw it in. Thanks for the tip sweet one:)

[BeautyWithArtemi]

I would love to try this! Hopefully i can find something similar here in Greece..

Oh i''m so jealous.i'm freezing here! :P

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@BeautyWithArtemi I guess it is winter there too huh? But does it snow in Greece? I didn't think it did, but what the hell do I know, I get lost between my own bathtub and toilet.

[imsassi]

I will certainly be looking for this - hope they have it at Bath and Body - thats the only store like that around here. Thanks beautiful!! Disgraceful you sitting by the pool and me sitting in snow. lol

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@imsassi LOL, I hear you. Actually one of my other subbies just down yonder was replying that she did get hers at bath and bodyworks, another said even the body shop had it at one time. Let me know if you found it.

[LongHairandRedLips]

I'm going to have to try this, I know I'm horrible but I am going to start tanning so this will come in handy for that and for everyday use want my skin smooth as baby's bottom lol

Happy your here.!

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@LongHairandRedLips This works fabulous for tanning. Keep all those dead skincells at bay and keeps your tan even.  LOVE it for the face and body:)

[LongHairandRedLips]

Eeeep! Marinda!!! Hi so happy to see you. let me go watch the video now.

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@LongHairandRedLips Yeah, and you call ME funny:)

[Ressa777]

I have that!!  you crack me up! :) Love your videos!

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@Ressa777 thanks hun, that is a good thing. Glad you enjoyed. Do you love it as much as I do?

[elliebannelli]

the body shop sells a similar product. been using it for over a decade. quick tip: soak the towel in hot water for a few minutes the first time you use it. it would soften the towel and can be used for the face right away. i've been wondering why im not impressed with my clarisonic until you mentioned it. love your videos :)

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@elliebannelli Well thank you, That is a good tip. Just for the other people's sake, don't make the water boiling hot. The product will melt. but yeah, don't you agree, it is really truly the most awesomest thing ever! Thanks hun, glad you popped in, and glad you enjoyed:)

[LindyLoo999]

Okay - now you're just bragging...sitting by the pool, in a tank top. It's -28 here today....WITHOUT the windchill, do you remember that word??? If I didn't like you so much, I'd hate you-lol gonna look for these towels, do they feel different than those gloves from the body shop???

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@LindyLoo999 Hey Linda! I told you to get your damn ass over here and come and visit! LOL. They are different than the gloves. I tried the gloves on my face but it doesn't work the same. I think the secret is not in the material, but in the "weave" of the material. I have no friggin clue how the thing works. I've used that glove many years, but my ass never felt this smooth. I swear the circulation is so much better, and my skin feels like a blown up balloon, squeeky type feeling:)

[GeorgieGirl1012]

Oh that epilator a friend of mine had one of the first ones they put out years ago, don't know how they have changed but I said that thing had to be made by someone who hated women hahahahahaha, I am sure they have improved because my girlfriend had scars on her legs from the one she bought. I am so curious to try this one out now. That exfoliator looks fabulous, you know I use a nylon poof in the shower and I swear it also has changed my body skin, so I will get one of these too!

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@GeorgieGirl1012 Now girlie, all of you peoples who go and try out these little "miracles" I found better come back and give me feedback. I don't do reviews usually but, I got some real gems, that should not be hidden.... It takes a lot to impress me, so the things I do review had better be bloody damn good:)

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@GeorgieGirl1012 Holy shit, SCARS!!! They should be taken to court and thrown into jail. That is very uncool!

[myacus]

Love your no BS attitude! Refreshing. Peace, Jxx

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@myacus Hey you:) Thanks, lol

[sleepingshyfawn]

I just picked up that same facial cleanser this evening to try out. lol. I had been wanting to get a Clarisonic but, I think I would rather give the exfoliating hydro towel a try instead. Thank you for sharing!!! :)

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@sleepingshyfawn No problem, I am on a roll. I have so many things to show you guys, my ass is itching to get the videos out. If I can just figure out the bloody lighting. Damn, I bet you by the time I get the lighting right, the stupid house will sell then I'll be stuck all over again, LOL.... such is life.

[prettygreenglow]

So glad you're back! I've missed you! :)

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@prettygreenglow Thank you hun. This is my second video already.  did you see the one about the funky epilator? I have gotten so many good things since I've last done videos, I just HAVE to tell you about it:)

[prettygreenglow]

@thebarbiewithmuscle Yes, I saw that video too. Sounds like something I should try!

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@prettygreenglow I hope those of you guys who do, will come back with some feedback. It is time for me to laugh at your expense too, hehehe...
