Brenton what I do is exfoliate on alternating days. So day 1 I’ll use my mitt and day 2 a simple bath puff then repeat. And yes, do exfoliate in the shower! If you’re planning on getting the riffi I’d like to mention I’ve never used it dry as a “massage glove”. In fact, just the though of that makes me cringe…
Also the blackhead remover sounds like a good idea. Not sure if it would work since these things are so deeply embedded and persistent on living but it’s worth a shot!
