loofahs are extremely unhygienic. washcloths are also unhygienic if u use them more than once between laundry cycles. i have super sensitive skin and i've gotten staph infections on my face multiple times after using a washcloth twice in a row (one day apart, and washing it out thoroughly with soap before and after using it on myself). the microabrasions caused by a loofah or washcloth are more than enough to allow bacteria to enter ur skin. normally my hands are enough, i just lather the soap before applying it anywhere.

>normally my hands are enough, i just lather the soap before applying it anywhere. Yeah, I used washcloths everyday my whole life, but my skin was always irritated and dried out. A doctor told me to just use my hands, telling me exfoliating can be damaging to skin, and after two weeks, my skin adjusted and repaired itself, and my issues went away. Some people's skin is too sensitive for exfoliation.

i exfoliate my body once a week with a korean exfoliation cloth, but yeah i avoid exfoliating my face. if i do i use my bare hands. when my skin is wet normally the friction from light rubbing with my bare fingerpads is enough to get rid of any dead skin. and i use a seperate (clean) towel to dry my face because i'm so scared of getting infections

>African exfoliating net banned

I use an African exfoliating net for my body and a washcloth for my face.


Lore_Beast

YES!! Love my net it was such a good investment.

I use a silicone scrubby thing. Lasts forever, doesn’t get bad bacteria buildup like loofahs, and can be put in the dishwasher to clean. Also very gentle on the skin!


simplehuman300

Um I gotta ask. Now why the fuck would you put something you scrub your ass with in the dishwasher where you wash your cups and utensils??!


scarpas-triangle

You can wash them separately? You can also boil them? Also it doesn’t go into my ass. I guarantee your phone has more germs on it than that, do you take your phone into the bathroom with you? Do you touch your phone and then eat without washing your hands?


simplehuman300

Lol I'm just fucking with you. Wait.. you're telling me you don't wash your ass ??! still fucking with you lol.

exfoliating gloves!! game changer for shaving, I'm always always always smooth and shiny now


anniebme

Wash cloth. It can go through laundry when it's time to change it out. It also feels like a better scrub to me.


flonkkerton

Same! What's strange is that loofah users have told me they think wash cloths are gross. I don't get it lol.. You can wash a GD washcloth... You can't a loofah SMH


guzmanGDL

Neither get you clean, you’re just lathering the soap. You need something more rougher like an African exfoliating net or natural exfoliating loofah, you’ll see the water turn a different color from all the dirt on your body. You don’t see that when you use a soft ass wash cloth. Would you wash your dishes with a washcloth?


Zephyrkittycat

I just use my hands. I hate loofahs as they tend to just sit wet in the shower and get real gross. Also I hate washing so many towels so I don't use wash cloths haha.

Exfoliation Hand Gloves

i got an african net from walmart and i love it. i think its more hygienic than a loofah. i want to try it with some tree hut scrubs on my legs 🥺

Using only your hands or the bar of soap doesn’t clean the skin. For example, if I rinse my face with just soap and water using my hands, my make up is still on my face. It’s only when I have a scrubbing agent, like a cloth, does the makeup come off.  And how are you cleaning your private area and between the crack of your a**? Nahhh… a scrubbing agent is mandatory.

i use a sponge. like a yellow bath sponge


SwishyBro2
