Your loofah
Loofahs are funny things because, while they’re meant to remove bacteria and dead skin cells from your body, they can actually work to just reintroduce those things to your system. At least they can if you don’t properly maintain and regularly replace your loofah. When you use one, some of the cells and bacteria you remove from your skin gets lodged into it. So next time you use this shower companion, you just put bacteria – that’s now been festering in a damp environment – back on your skin. Be sure to rinse your loofah thoroughly after each use and hang it in a cool place so it can dry (i.e. not your shower). Natural loofahs should be replaced every few weeks, whereas plastic ones can last about two months.
