Loofah Exfoliating Glove
Loofah on one side, terry on the other: slip it on like a glove, work up a lather and scrub. Loofah softens in water; a wrist band keeps it on your hand and a loop lets you hang it to dry.
DetailsSize, materials and use
In short: The Loofah Exfoliating Glove is a bath mitt with natural loofah on one side and terry cloth on the other, made to slip over the hand like a glove. It measures 6.5 x 9.8 in (16.5 x 25 cm), has a terry wrist band and a hanging loop, and is made in Türkiye.
Loofah (also spelled luffa) is the dried, fibrous inside of the loofah gourd, a plant in the cucumber family. It is firm and light when dry, softens after a few minutes in warm water and holds a lather well. Because it is a plant fiber, texture and shade vary slightly from piece to piece.
Use it wet: loofah is firm when dry and softens in water. The terry band keeps the glove on your wrist and the corner loop lets you hang it to dry. The same shape with a woven sisal face is the Sisal Exfoliating Glove; the long version for the back is the Loofah Back Scrubber.
Benefits of Loofah
- Lifts away dead skin: skin feels smooth and soft after a scrub with a wet loofah.
- Rich lather: the fibers work a little soap or shower gel into plenty of foam.
- Softens when wet: firm when dry, it softens in warm water within minutes.
- Preps for moisturizer: leaves a smooth surface for your after-shower lotion.
- A plant fiber: the dried fiber of the loofah gourd.
- Dries in the air: rinse, squeeze and hang; the open fibers let air through.
How to Use
- Before the first use, soak the glove in warm water for a few minutes so the loofah softens.
- Slip it on and work soap or shower gel into a lather on the loofah side.
- Scrub in circles with light pressure, starting at the ankles and moving up.
- Turn to the terry side for a softer touch.
- Rinse yourself; then rinse the glove, squeeze it out and hang it by the loop.
Start with once or twice a week and adjust to what suits your skin; take a break if you see redness.

FAQHow do you use a loofah glove?
Soak it in warm water for a few minutes before the first use. Slip it on, work soap or shower gel into a lather on the loofah side and scrub in circles with light pressure. Then rinse the glove, squeeze it out and hang it by the loop.
Are exfoliating gloves better than a loofah?They do the same job in different shapes. A glove covers your hand and gives you more control; a loofah sponge is held in the palm. This glove has loofah on one side, so you get the loofah texture in a glove shape.
How often should you replace a loofah?There is no fixed date; it depends on how often you use it and how well it dries between uses. Replace it when the fibers fray, darken or keep a smell.
How do you clean a loofah glove?Rinse it well with clean water after each use and squeeze out the water. From time to time you can wash it by hand in warm soapy water. Do not leave it wet inside a closed shower.
How do you dry a loofah?Squeeze out the water and hang it by the loop in an airy spot. The open fibers let air through; how long it takes depends on the humidity of the room.
What is the other side of the glove made of?The other side and the wrist band are terry cloth. Use the loofah side to scrub and the terry side for a softer touch, to lather or to rinse.
