Sisal Exfoliating Glove
Woven sisal on one side, terry on the other: slip it on like a glove, work up a lather and scrub. The firm sisal weave gives a more noticeable scrub; hang it by the loop to dry.
DetailsSize, materials and use
In short: The Sisal Exfoliating Glove is a bath mitt with woven sisal 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.
Sisal is a firm, durable plant fiber taken from the long leaves of the agave plant and spun into yarn; it is also used for rope. Here the yarn is worked into an open weave with a firmer, more noticeable texture than loofah. Because it is a plant fiber, texture and shade vary slightly from piece to piece.
The terry band keeps the glove on your wrist and the corner loop lets you hang it to dry. For a fiber that softens in water, see the Loofah Exfoliating Glove; the long version for the back is the Sisal Back Scrubber.
Benefits of Sisal
- A noticeable scrub: the firm weave lifts away dead skin; skin feels smooth afterward.
- Good on rough spots: easy to use on elbows, knees and heels.
- Durable fiber: sisal is strong enough to be used for rope.
- Holds a lather: the open weave works soap or shower gel into foam.
- A plant fiber: made from the leaves of the agave plant.
- Dries in the air: the open weave lets air through; rinse and hang.
How to Use
- Wet the glove and slip it on.
- Work soap or shower gel into a lather on the sisal 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.

Do not use on irritated, broken or sunburned skin, or during an eczema or psoriasis flare-up. Sisal has a firm texture; on sensitive skin, try the terry side first. This glove is for the body, not the face.
After the scrub, wrap up in a peshtemal towel or a bathrobe. See every mitt and loofah in body scrubbers and exfoliating mitts, or browse the bath collection. Made in Türkiye.
CareRinse, then hang to dry
After each use rinse well, squeeze out the water and hang to dry in an airy spot, not inside a closed shower. Replace it when the fibers fray, darken or keep a smell. For personal use only.

FAQWhat is sisal?
Sisal is a firm, durable plant fiber taken from the leaves of the agave plant and spun into yarn. In this glove the yarn is worked into an open weave that forms the scrubbing side.
How do you use a sisal glove?Wet the glove, slip it on and work soap or shower gel into a lather on the sisal side. Scrub in circles with light pressure, then rinse the glove, squeeze it out and hang it by the loop.
Is sisal good for skin?Sisal has a firm texture, so it suits people who like a stronger scrub. Use it wet, with a lather and light pressure. On sensitive skin, try the terry side first or test a small area, and stop if you see redness.
Sisal vs loofah: which is rougher?Sisal is the firmer of the two. A woven sisal face keeps its texture when wet, while loofah is firm when dry and softens in water. Choose sisal for a more noticeable scrub and loofah for a softer one.
Is sisal the same as jute?No. Both are plant fibers, but sisal comes from the leaves of the agave plant and jute from the stalk of the jute plant. Sisal is the stiffer of the two.
