3 Ways To Use Exfoliating Gloves
1. For bathing
How to bathe with exfoliating gloves and soap bar
- First, put your bathing gloves on, then turn on your shower and get your skin wet.
- Next, pick up your soap bar and rub it all over your body.
- Tiny soap hack: if you have a tiny flat piece of soap, put it inside the gloves instead and squeeze your palm to crush it. Doing this, you’d use every last bit of your soap.
- Then put the soap down and exfoliate your whole body with your bath gloves.
- Use your fingertips to wash your outer ears and also behind them.
- Also, make sure to wash behind your thighs too.
- If you want to use exfoliating gloves on your face, rinse them thoroughly.
- Then use some soap or face wash and clean your face gently.
- Rinse your body under the shower.
- Your skin would be refreshed and invigorated.
- Then moisturize immediately.
How to use exfoliating gloves with shower gel
- Once your bath gloves and skin are wet, pour some shower gel into your palms.
- Then lightly rub your palms together to share the shower gel.
- Next, try to pat or rub the shower gel all over your body to distribute it, so that you get a very foaming bath time.
- Once that is done, you are ready to scrub your body with exfoliating gloves.
- Take more shower gel if needed.
- Then rinse when you are done.
- Again, don’t forget to moisturize afterward.

2. For skin exfoliation with a foamy scrub
There are two ways to use your gloves with a foaming scrub.
- When you are in a hurry and really need to exfoliate your skin, just wet the gloves as usual then scoop some foaming scrub into your palms, and scrub away.
- After bathing with the gloves, then do a second exfoliation but this time with your soapy scrub.
And make sure you follow with a moisturizing lotion or cream.

3. To get rid of strawberry skin with baking soda
If you have strawberry skin on your thighs or butt, you can gently reduce the appearance by exfoliation with baking soda.
- After taking a shower with the gloves, rinse off the soap.
- Then pat your skin with a towel just enough to keep it damp.
- Then scoop a generous amount of baking soda with your wet gloved fingers and scrub your thighs and butt cheeks with intent.
- Let it sit for several minutes before washing off the baking soda thoroughly.
- Then rinse and hang your exfoliating gloves.
- Dry and moisturize the exfoliated areas and whole body.
- You’d notice an improvement in those areas as time goes by.
When I had strawberry skin, I used this method once a week until it disappeared.

How to clean your exfoliating gloves
- After bathing with them, rinse the bath gloves thoroughly with warm water and hang them to dry.
- Then maybe once a week, you can throw them in the washing machine for a deeper wash to kill lingering bacteria.
- Machine washing your exfoliating gloves doesn’t affect the material or shape.
Exfoliating Gloves Benefits
- These gloves help slough off dead skin and make it easy for skin to absorb moisturizers.
- Exfoliating gloves deep cleans your skin and encourages blood flow, which makes the skin glow naturally.
- When you are in a hurry but need to exfoliate, you can use the gloves with a soapy scrub for a stimulating exfoliation.
- The gloves are affordable and last a long time until you are ready to throw them away.
- They are made of nylon materials, which makes them easy to wash and dry without holding on to dirt, stains, or germs.
- Some exfoliating gloves have loops for easy hanging and drying after use.

Questions About How To Use Exfoliating Gloves
Can you use exfoliating gloves every day?
- You can use your bath gloves every day, or every other day if your skin cannot handle daily use.
- But whatever you do, make sure you are moisturizing daily.
- I use my exfoliating gloves daily except on rare occasions when I don’t really feel like it.
Do exfoliating gloves work?
- These gloves thoroughly cleanse your skin and freshen it too.
- But if you have never used them before, start with the softest pair. The white and grey ones in the picture below are pretty soft and they’re from Walmart.
Can you use exfoliating gloves for ingrown hair?
- One of the best ways to combat ingrown hairs and also prevent them from happening is with regular exfoliation of the affected areas using homemade or drugstore scrubs.
- A quick tip: If your underarms are itchy, it is a sign of ingrown hairs and bumps.
- So what you can do is exfoliate them with Epsom salt. It cleans the underarm or bikini areas thoroughly and dries up the bumps before they swell, and the hairs will grow out easily.
- Also, if you tend to have ingrown hairs a lot, consider sugaring with homemade sugar wax instead of blades and hair removal creams.
- Don’t scratch itchy underarms and private areas. I repeat, don’t! Scratching irritates the skin and makes the situation even worse.
