A loofah, a popular, sponge-like shower product, allows you to clean and exfoliate your skin more easily. True loofahs come from the luffa plant, but you can find loofahs made from many other materials, such as plastic or natural sea sponge. Washing your skin regularly with a loofah can help keep it clean, soft and healthy.
Step 1
Soften the loofah with warm water, if it feels too rough.
Step 2
Place several drops of shower or bath soap on the loofah and work the soap into the loofah to create a foamy lather.
Step 3
Rub the loofah over your skin in a circular motion. Begin at your shoulders and work down to your feet. Wash firmly but gently.
Step 4
Rinse the soap off of your body and out of the loofah.
Step 5
Hang the loofah up to dry.
Tips and Warnings
- Apply a moisturizer after your shower to keep your skin from drying out. Wash your loofah periodically to avoid letting bacteria accumulate. Rinse the loofah in clean water and let it dry completely.
