Hearts and showers

It’s high season for flaky skin, so showering with a skin-pampering Spongeable may be a smart move. That it’s heart shaped adds to its seasonal allure. Infused with olive oil and glycerin, Spongeables massage, cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize for 30-plus showers. The firm sponge softens when you wet and squeeze it, softening the more you squeeze. Besides waking up our epidermis with fragrant lather, we liked the way the sponge doesn’t go goopy while it sits in your shower waiting for the next spa moment. They’re available in a variety of fragrances, including, sweet jasmine, spicy mango and peony passion. Retailers include Renu Day Spa in Deerfield, where they’re $6 each.
