Loofah Sponges also known as body scrubbers are used first, to gently yet effectively exfoliate tired skin and second, to increase blood flow to all areas of the skin.
A loofah sponge is actually a plant seed pod. The "luffa" plant belongs to the cucumber family. The pollinated flowers of the plant grow into cylindrical green fruits that gradually grow into a fibrous seed pod or loofah. When these fruits mature they become a hard mass of cellulose fiber that can be used as a body scrubber or a back sponge.
Loofah Sponge's super versatile applications
Generally, Loofah Sponges have other applications other than as an exfoliating skin product. They can be cut into various dimensions and can be used as hot pads, bath mats, sandals, hats, dust pads, etc. They are also used for washing items like large pots, containers, cars, non-stick cookware where these items cannot withstand hard scrubbing.
Loofah Sponges & Skin Exfoliation
But Loofah Sponges are largely used for skin exfoliation. Loofah Sponges are used in the process of exfoliation as back loofah and back sponges. The fibers present in the Loofah Sponges tend to remove the dead skin cells from the outermost surface of the skin and make your skin squeaky clean.
Loofah's are both durable and long lasting, if proper care is taken, including drying between uses. The loofah will lose its gentle exfoliation value if left wet for long period of time.
Sponge colours vary from brown to white depending on whether the sponges are commercial or natural. Should you prefer a lighter colour, the sponges merely require treatment with a chlorine bleach solution for approximately an hour. Avoid over-bleaching as this will result in fibre weakness. Prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight on the other hand will make a loofah more rough.
Loofah Sponges are known around the globe, with millions of satisfied users worldwide. EuroScrub loofah are just better because: EuroScrub is more sanitary when compared to natural loofah due to its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agent content within the material.
EuroScrub's larger pores eliminate dead skin and toxin clogging within the fibres as is common with natural loofah's. EuroScrub scrubbers are machine washable and last significantly longer than natural loofah's.
