Benefits of Using a Loofa

Regular exfoliation is good for you, inside and out. Exfoliation acts as a sandpaper for the skin, removing the rough dead skin cells to expose the fresh, smooth skin below. Not only does this provide the skin with a healthy glow, it also allows proper absorption of moisturizers.

The lymph system is just below the skin and carries the white blood cells that fight infection. Exfoliation stimulates the lymph system, thereby providing support to your immune system.

Using the Loofa:

• In the shower, get the loofa wet. Using a moisturizing body wash, wash your body with the loofa, scrubbing in gentle circles. Rough scrubbing can irritate your skin.
• After you are done washing, rinse off thoroughly.  Be sure to rinse the loofa thoroughly as well.  Hang the loofa to dry in between uses.

Notes:

• Although many synethic sponges are available, a genuine loofa is always the best choice.
• You can use a loofa even when you aren't in the shower.  Soft circles on dry skin can still be beneficial.
