Not all Loofahs are Created Equal.

As a child, my mother didn’t agree when my sister and I wanted to buy pouf sponges. She always tried to persuade us to use other loofahs. To be honest, we only liked pouf sponges because we were intrigued by the different colors. It wasn’t until I grew up that I realized the importance of exfoliating and using the right products to take care of my skin. After experimenting with different loofahs, I’ve learned that it is important to pay attention to what they are made of and know how to use them to maximize the benefits.

Damascus Body Mitt Loofah by Mint + Laurel

Composition of a natural fiber loofah

Not all loofahs are created equal. The price efficient loofahs are typically made out of synthetic material or mesh. The mesh is looped to create a fluffy ball making it easier for bacteria to thrive in the center. On the contrary, the Damascus Loofah Mitt, from Mint + Laurel, is made out of 100% hemp and cotton fibers. Hemp is also found in many cosmetic products because it is known to moisturize the skin without clogging pores. When storing the body mitt, it is important to note that it should be placed in an area where its natural fibers can dry. For best results, washing it frequently and replacing it every six months is essential.

Benefits of using the Damascus Loofah Mitt

The beauty of a loofah is that it exfoliates the skin, promotes circulation, and can help reduce the appearance of cellulite. To use the loofah, you slide it on your hand and begin scrubbing when your skin is dry or wet. Dry scrubbing provides a strong friction increasing circulation without harshly scratching the skin. Wet scrubbing can be ideal for sensitive skin; you can massage the loofah in a circular motion to help improve cellulite appearance.

For a nice and relaxing shower, you can pair the loofah with your favorite Aleppo soap bar. Most importantly, when purchasing it from Mint + Laurel you contribute to helping a community that has been impacted by conflict.
