Achieving smoother, radiant skin lies in your exfoliation regimen. By recruiting the purifying power of the best exfoliating gloves, skin will appear visibly healthier and more even thanks to their polishing and deep cleansing effect.

Available in variations for the face and body, these innovative scrubbing mitts are similar to traditional loofahs and body brushes, but are made with specialized textured materials that target the surface layer of the skin and result in the successful removal of pore-clogging, dullness-inducing dead skin cells, impurities and excess oil. Activated by soap and water and suitable for all skin types thanks to its delicate skin abrasions, this clarifying cleanse makes them ideal for reducing the appearance and occurrence of acne in the face and body while also buffing away rough texture spots and dryness. Frequent usage of body and facial exfoliating gloves has even been found to improve the efficacy of your skin-care and body-care products by removing buildup and allowing for better absorption.

In addition to purifying the pores, the best exfoliating gloves also stimulate blood circulation and encourage the skin’s natural renewal process, which, in turn, increases collagen production and promotes firmness and elasticity in the skin. They also provide a soothing and invigorating massage for the entire body, creating a moment of restorative self-care as you tend to your skin. Exfoliating mitts are also a must-have for those who self-tan regularly, as they’re essential for prepping the skin and creating a streak-free, even self-tan application.
