I've rarely found bar soap worth reaching for — but Soft Services, a brand that aims to take an innovative, actives-driven approach to body care, has officially changed that.
I'm a big fan of its Buffing Bar, which packs exfoliating crystals into a moisturizing glycerin- and shea butter- base for a skin-smoothing, glow-enhancing suds-up. And while the original fragrance-free version is perfectly lovely, the brand has also just one-upped itself by partnering with fellow cool-kid label D.S. & Durga to infuse the bar with its beloved fruity-green Debaser scent.

The addition of scent only adds to the Buffing Bar's list of benefits, elevating it to a truly impressive multitasker: In addition to being an effective exfoliator and moisturizing treatment, it's also a delightful and luxurious sensorial shower experience. (The pretty orchid color is a definite mood-booster, too.) The Soft Services x D.S. & Durga Debaser Buffing Bar scent features top notes of beragmot, green leaf and pear stem; heart notes of fig, coconut milk and iris; and base notes of blond wood, tonka bean and moss. It's equal parts juicy and earthy, and, in bar soap form, it has the power to elevate even the saddest of tubs to the sensorial equivalent of those fancy outdoor showers you only find on vacation in the Maldives.
I've been using it both to dissolve away any lingering splotches of spray tans past, as well as to prep my skin for a new application, and I've found it to be the ideal skin-resetting treatment for these grimy late-summer days. It's a bar of soap that's so, so much more than just a bar of soap. I'm thrilled it comes in a two-pack, because I'm going through my first bar at warp speed.
