These exfoliating mitts work phenomenally well. By the time I've been in the shower for a few minutes and washed my hair, all it takes is a few scrubs and the dead skin just pills up and rinses away. (Disclaimer: I'd caution everyone to start on "light mode", the way plug-in toothbrushes break in their users by gradually increasing intensity. Start with light pressure in the areas you want to exfoliate before increasing pressure in each area.) They work great on rough, dry skin areas like those found on the elbows, knees, ankles, shins, heels and toes. It reduced a callus I had by literally 95%, no lie. It's nearly gone! I haven't experienced any adverse thickening or other unintended effect. I've even used them VERY gently around my jaw and chin, where I notice my skin naturally pill from time to time, post-shower. They also completely got rid of some unwanted texture I had on my chest. I had small bumps (not pimples) all over that were relentless previously, but the mitt completely polished them away! I wouldn't recommend using them more than once or twice a week or during short and/or cooler showers though, as they can be overly abrasive in those circumstances. You really need the warm water to help soften your skin a bit, or it can get a bit uncomfortable. Embrace the suck. I would not recommend these for sensitive or fragile skin types, on areas with open skin or acne, or for kids. As other reviews mention, the mitts do shrink quite a bit once they dry after use, but I don't find it any more difficult to exfoliate with less surface area. It can be a struggle trying to keep the mitt flat as you scrub, but I've found that NOT using it as a mitt, and sort of lacing it between my fingers helps. (I place the mitt between my index and middle finger, with most of the material extending downwards towards the palm of my hand. Then, take that excess material and go under your middle and ring fingers, bringing it up and securing it with your pinky. Hope that makes sense!) This was my first time purchasing these mitts and I wanted to see the difference in coarseness between the pink and green, and honestly I can't detect one. I anticipate having these for awhile, but I'll probably just buy whichever one is cheapest in the future. So far, I've used my first mitt about 8 times, and it's still holding strong! This has got to be one of the cheapest skin & bodycare products out there to provide this kind of benefit with virtually no downside. It'll be a re-buy from me, dawg. Read more
I discovered these traditional Asian exfoliating cloths through a Korean skincare routine article, and they've completely transformed my shower experience. After using regular washcloths and loofahs for years, I had no idea how much dead skin I wasn't removing until I tried these. The texture is perfect - rough enough to provide serious exfoliation but not so abrasive that it damages your skin. The first time I used one, I was amazed at how much dead skin came off, leaving my skin incredibly smooth and soft. My moisturizer absorbs so much better now, and I've noticed fewer ingrown hairs on my legs. The 8-piece set is great value and lets me have clean cloths for different body areas. I keep the red ones for body use and green for feet, which helps with hygiene. They're surprisingly durable - after six months of regular use and machine washing, they're holding up perfectly without losing their exfoliating properties. What I love is how they work best on slightly damp skin before applying soap. The technique takes a little getting used to, but once you figure it out, the results are incredible. My skin feels baby-smooth and looks noticeably brighter. These have replaced my expensive body scrubs completely. Much more economical and effective than chemical exfoliants for body use. Skincare revelation: Finally understand why these are staples in Korean spas! Read more
It’s a pocket washcloth where you put your hand in the pocket of the exfoliating washcloth. The exfoliation is good, however the pocket is a little small. Too small for my hand. It would be nice if we’re a little bigger. But other than that it works good. Read more
These have been a game changer for my KP! If you have bumpy skin this is one of the most effective ways for smoothing and softening it. It’s the perfect texture for exfoliating, not at all painful and did not cause any redness or irritation. Each mitt can be used about 10 times before it gets worn out. Fits nicely over your fingers for fast and easy full body exfoliation. Read more
LOVE!!! I’ve been buying these for years now and they are the best. Takes all the dead skin out and feels nice after the first use. You have to lose it up a little w warm water and it’s all good to go! I bought a different brand that had more pieces and they sucked so bad. But these are great so I had to come back after trying something new 😭! Will not switch up again. Read more
They are really small, have to do some work to keep them in your hands. But great for exfoliating. Best if used at the end of a long tub soak, no soap, dry skin will pill up on the cloth. Read more
I bought these to deeply exfoliate my legs to help my leg hairs come through the skin after wax/period between waxing to prevent ingrown, so unfortunately, no dead skin came off (but I regularly exfoliate so no shocker there for me). Now! I used this on my husband and the amount of skin that came off this man (he doesn’t use a wash cloth to bathe) WAS SO SATISFYING! His skin was like butter. Silky. I mean baby’s bottom soft. I was soooooo impressed. He was grumpy about it in the shower—crying like a baby—anyhow afterwards, I immediately moisturized him with a mixture of aloe, lotion, glycerin and a drop of jojoba to replenish moisture and nourish the skin after such a deep, and clearly first time ever, exfoliation. The next day he had to tell me how noticeably soft his arms were. And they were! Absolutely wonderful results. I recommend. This is a new staple in my skin care routine. No more scrubs or expensive exfoliation creams. Read more
