You probably exfoliate your facebut what about your body?
Should you be exfoliating your body regularly?
In a word, yes.

The best part: these tools can exfoliate more deeply than most scrubs.
But for this price, you cant really go wrong.
In short: this towel converted us after 10 years of using exfoliating gloves.

Any scaliness and dry patches were immediately buffed away without discomfort or irritation.
Our sensitive skin went a bit red following each treatment but the unit never felt too harsh or abrasive.
Our skin was glowing and radiant, and there was no obvious redness or irritation.
It felt very therapeutic and invigorating.
The tool was sturdy overall, but the handles could have been stronger.
It also seemed to retain humectants more effectively than before we began dry brushing.
And finally, in-grown hairs were noticeably reduced.
The bristles are firm and leave a tingly sensation after treatment.
We suggest using a lighter touch on delicate areas like the inner thighs to avoid redness.
In particular, it made ourkeratosis pilarisless red and bumpy after four or five uses.
We wouldnt recommend it for those withreactive, sensitive skin.
Why we chose it:In our experience, this exfoliator was a slow burn.

The fabric of this cloth is much softer than others we tried, making it idealforsensitive skintypes.
It just takes a bit of patience before you begin seeing results.
Flakey areas were smooth and soft after just one use, and our legs in particular were glowing.

We only wish it came with a little pouch for hygienic transportation.
Apply your favorite soap directly to the scrubber and massage it over your body for a deep cleansing effect.
Once youre done, use the sucker on the back to stick and store your scrubber in the shower.

The antibacterial silicone dries quickly without accumulating mildew.
Another benefit was a clear reduction in bumps and ingrown hairs on our legs.
it’s possible for you to also use it every day with no risk of irritation.

It wasnt harsh, but did cause a little redness when we used it vigorously and with more pressure.
Were also fond of spray tans, and this mitt was exceptional atremoving old tannerto mitigate any patchiness.
We just wished it lathered a bit better in the shower.

Why we chose it:We loved the light exfoliation this brush provided, especially on our arms.
Why we chose it:We found the mitts easy and convenient to use compared with loofahs or scrubs.
And when it came to using soap, they lathered very nicely.

You just slip it on and get to work buffing away dead skin and loosening clogged pores.
Best of all, it was very effective at reducingbody breakouts.
Our one complaint is that theres only one mitt.

Its inconvenient having to alternate hands while showering, so it would be nice to have a pair.
Adjust your pressure if it feels painful or uncomfortable.
One to three times a week is sufficient to stimulate cellular turnover without overdoing it, says Dr. Yadav.
Dry brushing, or any tool that improves circulation and lymphatic drainage, has noticeable benefits.
Plus, she says that the overall process can make you feel energized.
Dr. Yadav recommends exfoliating in the shower or bath while conditioning your hair.
She also prefers a lighter touch rather than intense, pressurized scrubbing, brushing, or scraping aggressively.
In addition to Byrdie, she has bylines in Harper’s Bazaar, Allure, and WWD.
