How To Use Exfoliating Bath Gloves
There are three simple but very effective ways to use exfoliating gloves.
- For bathing
- Skin exfoliation with foaming scrubs, and
- To get rid of strawberry skin
1. How to bathe with exfoliating gloves
Exfoliating gloves and soap bar
- First, wear your bathing gloves, turn on your shower, and get your skin wet. Here are my favorite scrubbing gloves. They’re not too hard or soft, just the right coarseness for my skin.
- Next, pick up your soap bar and rub it all over your body.
- Then put the soap down and exfoliate your whole body with the 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 scrub your face gently.
- Rinse your body under the shower.
- Your skin would be refreshed and invigorated.
- Then moisturize immediately.
- Tiny soap hack: if you have a small flat piece of soap, put it inside the scrub glove, and squeeze your palm to crush it. Doing this, you’d use every last bit of your soap.

2. For skin exfoliation with a foamy scrub
There are two ways to use exfoliating gloves with soapy scrubs.
- You can use the body scrub with a foaming scrub after a shower. Just scoop or squeeze some foaming exfoliant into your wet bath gloves and exfoliate your skin thoroughly. Then rinse it off entirely.
- If you are in a hurry and need to exfoliate your skin, you can do it right away with your exfoliating gloves and a soapy scrub. So instead of exfoliating after a shower, you’d use the foaming scrub with your shower gloves to wash and slough dead skin simultaneously. Rinse your body after, then follow with moisturizers.
3. To get rid of strawberry skin with baking soda
Suppose you have strawberry skin on your thighs or butt.
In that case, you can gently reduce the appearance by exfoliating with body scrubber gloves and baking soda.
Follow the steps below.
- After a shower with the bathing gloves, rinse, but don’t take them off yet.
- Then pat your skin with a towel but keep it damp.
- Next, scoop a good amount of baking soda with your wet gloves and scrub your thighs and butt cheeks with intent.
- Let it sit for several minutes (it would sting a little) before rinsing off thoroughly.
- Then wash and hang your exfoliating gloves.
- Dry and moisturize the exfoliated areas well to prevent drying.
- Do this once or twice a week, and you’d notice an improvement as time goes by.
When I had strawberry skin, I used this method once a week until it faded.
How to wash exfoliating gloves
- After using exfoliating gloves, rinse them with warm running water.
- You can use extra soap if you like, then hang them to dry.
- Then once a week, throw it in the washer for thorough washing to kill lingering bacteria.
- Never mind, the washing machine doesn’t distort the shape or material of your exfoliating gloves.
Now let’s talk about the shower gloves benefits.

One of the most common benefits of using exfoliating gloves is that they wash your skin deeper than only soap and water.

FAQs About How To Use Exfoliating Gloves
Can I use exfoliating gloves every day?
I use mine daily, except rarely when I don’t feel like it.
Otherwise, you can use bathing gloves every day.
And no, they won’t hurt your skin. At least the shower gloves never hurt mine.
Also, make sure you moisturize your skin after using them.
Are bathing gloves good for your face?
I use exfoliating gloves on my face and have no problems with them.
But be gentle when washing your face with scrub gloves, especially around your nose and eye areas.
And you don’t have to use them on your face every day.
So maybe every other day.
Can you put exfoliating gloves in the washing machine?
Yes, you can throw your bathing gloves in the washing machine once weekly with your laundry.
And you can also dry it in the dryer or hang it in the shower to dry naturally.
Do you use soap with exfoliating gloves?
Yes, of course, you should use exfoliating gloves with soap.
Someone argued that soap makes exfoliating gloves too slippery to scrub your skin.
But that’s untrue.
Using soap with exfoliating gloves cleanses your skin while also sloughing off dead skin.

Can you use exfoliating gloves for ingrown hair?
Unfortunately, exfoliating gloves alone cannot get rid of ingrown hairs.
Instead, choose waxing or sugaring hair removal over shaving or depilatory creams.
Because sugar waxing pulls the hair from the root and encourages thinner hair growth.
So the odds of having bumps or ingrown hairs are low.
Here’s a post on how to make your sugar wax.
Another way to prevent ingrown hairs is by regularly exfoliating the affected areas with homemade or drugstore exfoliants.
- .A quick tip: If your underarms are itchy, it could signify ingrown hairs and bumps.
- So what you can do is scrub them with Epsom salt. It cleans and unclogs the skin, stops the itch, and then the hairs can grow easily.
- Don’t scratch itchy underarms and private areas. I repeat, don’t! Scratching hurts the skin and makes the problem worse.
Boom! Exfoliating Gloves, How To Use Them
Now you know how to use exfoliating gloves, their benefits, and how to wash them.
Are you going to try a pair?
Remember to start with the softest pair of exfoliating gloves and walk your way up as your skin gets used to them.
