This body-scrubbing bar is as great as everyone says |

| Soft Services |
After putting Soft Services’ trendy body-buffing bar to the test with seven panelists for weeks, we can officially report: This soap-sized exfoliation bar lives up to the hype. Says head of newsletters Sofia Sokolove: “I was frankly pretty surprised at how instantly and noticeably it smoothed my skin. And, remarkably, that softness lasted for days.”
And a moment for the luxe packaging, please. The artsy paper and embossed box elevate the bar to extremely stocking-worthy, in our opinion.
