People have often asked me how to reach areas of their back when performing the Back Regimen and I usually had no good answer for them. “Reach really hard,” was about the extent of it. But recently, Debi from the non-profit group Clear Up Skin Care met the people who make body buddy at a skincare conference and decided to tell me about it. I wrote to body buddy and asked them for a sample. Well, it’s pretty cool. The body buddy is made of soft yet non-absorbent vinyl, so it doesn’t irritate the skin. You can just wipe it off when you’re done. It’s also machine washable. The body buddy retails for $24.95, but I am able to sell it for $20 even.

• Place some benzoyl peroxide, alpha hydroxy acid, moisturizer, or any other skin care product on the middle of the body buddy, flip the body buddy over your shoulder, grab the handles and move across your back.
