Loofah Back Scrubber
Hold the two rope handles, pull the scrubber across your back and work it side to side: it reaches where your hands do not. Loofah on one side, terry on the other; hang it by a handle to dry.
DetailsSize, materials and use
In short: The Loofah Back Scrubber is a long strap with a rope handle at each end, made to scrub the parts of the back your hands cannot reach. One side is natural loofah, the other terry cloth, and both can be used. The body measures 4.3 x 14.8 in (11 x 37.5 cm) without the handles; 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 same shape with a woven sisal face is the Sisal Back Scrubber; the version that slips over the hand is the Loofah Exfoliating Glove.
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 scrubber in warm water for a few minutes; then work soap or shower gel into a lather on the loofah side.
- Hold one rope handle over your shoulder and the other at your waist so the scrubber lies diagonally across your back.
- Pull with each hand in turn to scrub; then swap hands and repeat on the other diagonal.
- Turn it over to the terry side for a softer touch.
- Rinse yourself; then rinse the scrubber, squeeze it out and hang it by a handle.
Start with once or twice a week and adjust to what suits your skin; take a break if you see redness.
