Exfoliating gloves: Here’s why you need this beauty tool

The skin renews itself every four weeks and old skin cells die off. Exfoliating gloves are a great way to gently remove these dead skin cells and also prevent the sebaceous glands from becoming clogged and blemishes from forming. Scrub gloves help to improve the skin on the arms, legs, upper body and the back. They stimulate blood circulation and cleanse the pores.

Scrub gloves are a good alternative to body or face scrubs in gel or cream form. They can be used several times and gently cleanse without the need for additional products. They are easy to use and are available in a variety of materials. An exfoliating glove is a great way to treat and pamper your body.

What benefits do exfoliating gloves have?

If you use your exfoliating glove regularly, you’ll soon start to feel the benefits:

  • Softer skin, helped by thoroughly removing excess flakes of skin
  • Cleaner skin, as pores are regularly cleared of impurities, preventing new spots from forming in the first place
  • Smoother skin, if the skin is exfoliated with an exfoliating glove before shaving
  • More nurturing, as creams or lotions can be absorbed better and more deeply into the skin after exfoliation
  • Firmer skin, as blood circulation is stimulated by exfoliation, which can even reduce cellulite
  • Beautifully tanned skin when using self-tanners, as exfoliation prepares the skin perfectly and the tan develops an even glow

What kinds of exfoliating gloves are there?

There are many different types of exfoliating gloves for the body

  • Loofah
  • Bamboo
  • Cotton
  • Hemp
  • Sisal
  • Silk

They all have different levels of coarseness so are suitable for different skin types. While you can use a soft cotton or silk glove to gently exfoliate the face, sisal or hemp gloves are often too harsh. It is better to use exfoliating creams on the face and to use the gloves to concentrate on the body. The skin there is usually less sensitive.

One model that is particularly popular is the KESE glove, which is also used in a classic Turkish hamam. It is made of silk and can be used on the body as well as on the face.

How do you use an exfoliating glove correctly?

Before using a scrub glove for the first time, rinse it with a mild shampoo. The best way to use the glove is in the shower. The warm water and hot steam will open the pores and help to massage out the dead skin cells.

It’s best to let your glove soak up the warm water before you start exfoliating, as this is when it’s most effective. The more softened your skin is, the better the exfoliation will work. Exfoliating gloves are especially practical for allergy sufferers because they do not require any additional products. All you need is the exfoliating glove and warm water.

Apply the glove in gentle, circular motions over all the areas of skin you want to exfoliate. If you use a coarser glove, avoid not only the face, but also the neck. The skin there is too thin and it can become irritated. And not everyone finds exfoliating the décolleté a pleasant experience, as the skin there is also very thin.

Buying exfoliating gloves: What do you need to consider?

When buying an exfoliating glove, think about the part of the body you want to use it on. While sisal, hemp and bamboo are good for the body, you can also use silk or nylon to exfoliate the face.

If you have very sensitive skin, choose a fabric that is as soft as possible. At parfumdreams, you’ll find a wide range of exfoliating gloves and can choose the type that best suits you and your skin’s needs.
