If you've always exfoliated with body scrubs, chemical exfoliants or loofahs, then you're in for a treat. Your Dewy Hours Exfoliating Glove will visibly remove dead skin and leave your skin silky smooth. Though there's a small learning curve at first, most of our customers get the hang of it after one or two uses.
Follow the steps below to get the best results from your glove!
- Start by relaxing in a warm, steamy shower or bath for at least 5 minutes. This helps soften the skin and prep it for exfoliation. Avoid using soap during this time, as it can create too much slip and reduce effectiveness.
- Once your skin is softened, wet the exfoliating glove, gently squeeze out excess water, and step away from any running water.
- Using long, firm strokes, begin scrubbing while your skin is still damp. Some redness is normal due to increased blood circulation, but be sure not to apply too much pressure since over-scrubbing can damage your skin barrier. After exfoliating, rinse the glove thoroughly with soap or body wash and hang it to air dry.
- For best hygiene and results, we recommend replacing your exfoliating glove every 2–3 months.
To get the most out of your exfoliating body glove, avoid these common mistakes:
Mistake #1: Scrubbing under running water. The exfoliating body glove relies on direct friction with your skin to effectively remove dead skin. Scrubbing under running water makes the glove too slippery to work properly. For best results, exfoliate on damp skin, away from the stream of water.
Mistake #2: Using soap while exfoliating. Soap creates slip, which prevents the glove from gripping and lifting dead skin cells. Always exfoliate without soap, and save your body wash for after you’re done.
Mistake #3: Scrubbing with your fingers. While the glove does not require heavy pressure, it does need proper technique. Use the palm of your hand and scrub with long, firm strokes, not your fingertips, to control your desired pressure and get the most out of your exfoliation session.
Avoiding these common mistakes will help you get the best results from your exfoliating body glove and keep your skin smooth, healthy, and glowing.
