Body Shop Coral Lily

Product Information

Out of all the loofahs we tested, this was our favorite. It was very effective at cleansing and exfoliating, it was able to reach the entire body, and it’s a hygienic, long-lasting option. One thing to note is that the gloves feel pretty small and tight when you first put them on, but after the initial use, they do stretch out a bit and become more comfortable. D. A. Dikin, S.

While you may want loofah with serious physical exfoliating power to help slough off dead skin and promote circulation, a too-rough loofah can damage the skin. You want your loofah to have a soft, fine grit, explains Ross. “It shouldn’t be too rough, or it can break the skin, leading to irritation, redness, and possibly infection,” he tells Byrdie. Something like the Luv Scrub Mesh Body Exfoliator is ideal. H. Ma, F. Y. Cheng, J. Chen, J. Z. Zhao, C. S. Li, Z. L. Tao and J. Liang, Adv. Mater., 2007, 19, 4067 CrossRef CAS.

Top 5 Body Sponges

To find the very best ones, we’ve done the so-called dirty work for you. After researching and choosing some of the most highly rated loofahs, we tested them all and used our usual body washes to accurately compare them to each other and our past loofah experiences and ultimately compile this list. The good news? None of these loofahs will irritate the skin, and better yet, they’ll help keep you clean and soft. This loofah has two sides—one is very soft (softer than a washcloth), and the other is grittier. But despite the latter being rough enough to exfoliate the skin, the texture is very fine, so instead of irritating skin, it gently yet efficiently buffs away rough areas and makes skin feel super smooth. It lathers up just as well as body wash does on its own, if not a little bit better. On top of everything else, it can be thrown into the washing machine to clean, making it super hygienic and more environmentally friendly than loofahs that need to be tossed after a few weeks. a) P.

The PMD Clean Body Cleansing Device is unlike anything else on this list. The high-tech, rechargeable device can hardly be called a loofah.
