READ MOREAn exfoliating glove is a skincare tool designed to remove dead skin cells and improve skin texture through physical exfoliation. Made from textured materials like nylon, bamboo fibres, or natural plant fibres, these shower gloves provide gentle exfoliation to the skin when used in circular motions during bathing or showering.
Bdoy exfoliating gloves can be effective in improving skin texture and appearance by removing dead skin cells through physical exfoliation. Some benefits of incorporating a shower glove into your body care routine includes:
To use exfoliating gloves effectively, follow these steps:
· Wet the Shower Gloves - Start by thoroughly wetting the shower gloves with warm water. This helps soften the skin and prepares it for exfoliation.
· Apply Cleanser or Exfoliant - Apply a small amount of your favourite body wash, scrub, or exfoliating product to the exfoliating mitt. This creates a lather and enhances the exfoliation process.
· Exfoliate Your Skin - Gently massage your skin in circular motions using the shower gloves. Focus on areas that need more exfoliation but avoid applying too much pressure, especially on sensitive areas.
· Rinse Thoroughly - After exfoliating, rinse your skin with warm water to remove any residual product and dead skin cells. Also, rinse the exfoliating mitt thoroughly to clean it.
· Dry and Store - Air dry the body exfoliating gloves completely in a well-ventilated area to prevent bacteria growth. Store them in a dry place until the next use.
· Moisturise - Follow up with a moisturiser after using a shower glove to keep your skin hydrated and smooth. You can also use the Gradual Tanning Body Butter after using your exfoliating glove to keep the skin moisturised while also adding a bit of colour and Tanning Body Oil for an extra glow.
Using exfoliating gloves 2-3 times a week is usually sufficient for most skin types, but adjust frequency based on your skin’s needs and sensitivity. For guidance on using an exfoliating mitt, visit your nearest O skin clinic or start a live chat on our website with an O Skin Expert.
Using body exfoliating gloves can greatly enhance your skincare routine, but it’s important to strike a balance to avoid over-exfoliation. Generally, using an exfoliating mitt 2-3 times a week is sufficient for most skin types. This frequency allows for the removal of dead skin cells and promotes a smoother, more radiant complexion without causing irritation or damage. If you have sensitive skin, you may want to start with just once a week and observe how your skin responds before gradually increasing the frequency. Always follow exfoliation with a moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated and healthy.
Exfoliating gloves and loofahs each have their own benefits and can cater to different preferences and skin needs. Exfoliating shower gloves provide a more controlled and even exfoliation, allowing you to apply the right amount of pressure to different parts of your body, which can be especially useful for sensitive areas. They are easy to use and can be more hygienic since they can be machine washed regularly.
On the other hand, as opposed to body exfoliation gloves, loofahs offer a more traditional scrubbing experience and are effective at creating a rich lather, which can enhance your shower routine. However, loofahs can be harder to clean and may harbour bacteria if not dried properly. Ultimately, the choice between an exfoliating mitt and a loofah depends on your personal preference, skin sensitivity, and hygiene considerations.
Here are some tips to help you clean and maintain your exfoliating shower gloves:
· Rinse Thoroughly After Use - After each use, rinse the shower gloves thoroughly with warm water to remove any soap, dead skin cells, and other debris.
· Use Mild Soap - Wash the exfoliating gloves with a mild soap or gentle detergent to ensure it’s clean. This helps remove any residual oils or impurities.
· Machine Wash Regularly - Depending on how frequently you use the exfoliating mitt, machine wash it regularly. Use a gentle cycle with mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners which can reduce the glove’s exfoliating effectiveness.
· Air Dry Completely - Allow the exfoliating glove to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Avoid leaving it in a damp or enclosed space where bacteria and mould can grow. Hanging it up can help it dry faster and maintain its shape.
· Replace Periodically - Exfoliating mitts wear out over time and may become less effective. Replace your body exfoliating glove every 3-4 months or sooner if it shows signs of wear and tear or if it develops an odour that doesn’t go away with washing.
By following these steps, you can ensure your body exfoliating gloves remains effective and hygienic, providing the best results for your skincare routine.
Exfoliating gloves can be suitable for most skin types, but their use should be adjusted based on individual skin sensitivity. Here’s how they work for different skin types:
· Normal Skin - Exfoliating mitts work well, helping to remove dead skin cells and promote a smooth, radiant complexion. Using them 2-3 times a week is generally effective.
· Oily Skin – These shower gloves can help control excess oil and prevent clogged pores by removing dead skin cells and impurities. Regular use, about 2-3 times a week, can be beneficial.
· Dry Skin - For dry skin, body exfoliating gloves should be used more gently and less frequently, about once a week. Over-exfoliation can exacerbate dryness and irritation.
· Sensitive Skin - If you have sensitive skin, use exfoliating gloves sparingly, starting with once a week. Be gentle to avoid irritation and consider using a softer glove or a different exfoliation method if your skin reacts poorly.
Always follow up with a moisturiser after using body exfoliating gloves to keep your skin hydrated and protected.
Body exfoliating gloves can effectively help reduce the appearance of ‘strawberry legs’, a condition characterised by dark, dotted pores often seen after shaving or from ingrown hairs. By regularly using an exfoliating mitt, you can remove dead skin cells that clog pores and contribute to the uneven texture. This process also helps prevent ingrown hairs by clearing away the buildup that traps hairs beneath the skin.
Exfoliating gloves are typically used wet, as this helps to soften the skin and makes the exfoliation process more effective and comfortable.
Our body exfoliating glove stands out as the best option for skin exfoliation because it delivers a superior exfoliation experience with its 100% viscose fibres. The shower glove effectively buffs away dead skin cells, enhances microcirculation, and helps prevent ingrown hairs. This not only softens your skin but also improves the absorption of other skincare products, ensuring an even and glowing tan.
The shower glove is also lightweight and reusable, featuring an elastic cuff for easy application and a hanging band for convenient drying. Specifically designed to work with all O SELF Tan products including SELF Tanning Mousse and Tanning Water, the tan exfoliation mitt guarantees professional and flawless results every time.
You should replace your exfoliating mitt every 3-4 months to maintain its effectiveness and hygiene. Over time, the glove’s material can break down, making it less effective at exfoliating and potentially harbouring bacteria. If you notice any signs of wear and tear, such as fraying or loss of texture, or if the exfoliating mitt develops an odour that doesn’t go away with washing, it’s time to replace it sooner. Regular replacement of your shower glove ensures that you’re getting the best results from your exfoliating routine and keeping your skin healthy.
In addition to our body exfoliating gloves, the SELF Tan by O COSMEDICS range also includes several other essential tanning accessories. We offer a back tan applicator for reaching those hard-to-access areas, a tanning brush for precise application and blending, and a velvet tanning mitt for an even and streak-free tan. Each accessory is designed to enhance your tanning experience and ensure a flawless, professional finish.
