Scrubbing pads and loofahs have become increasingly popular over the recent years as new liquid body soaps have flooded the market. Those scrubbing materials are great for exfoliating, and they leave skin feeling young, smooth, and tight. The colored loofahs come in a variety of styles, many of which have been at least partially personalized to the individual. They hang conveniently from rope tassels in the shower, and they easily remove dead skin and grime from the body.
Unfortunately, scientists are now saying that loofahs aren’t all they are cracked up to be. As many as 98 percent of dermatologists recommend discontinuing the use of loofahs or other shower puffs for personal cleaning. The reason is quite obvious when you hear it. Apparently, even though loofahs are excellent scrubbers, they aren’t very good rinsers. Loofahs are completely riddled with dead cells, and that is just the start of the issue.

Loofahs also remain in the shower after you’ve finished washing, and all that humidity and moisture remains in the loofah and causes bacteria to grow within. All sorts of different living organisms can grow in a loofah thanks to the food supply from dead skin and the moisture from bathing. Yeast, bacteria, and mold are just a few examples. Loofahs are the perfect breeding ground for such life forms, and they will continue to grow after each use of the loofah. Not only that, but every time you use the loofah, you are rubbing all that contamination across your body
