A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/plant\/loofah\">loofah<\/a> is a gourd from a plant and not a sponge, as most folks think. Admittedly, it does not sound so the-next-greatest-thing but I like the loofah because it&#8217;s just a little scratchy. Just scratchy enough to exfoliate dead skin, pre-shower or bath.  I have a super big natural loofah attached to a long wooden handle, like a shower brush. This loofah works very well on my back without much effort. It works for legs and feet without much bending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"614\" data-id=\"1706\" src=\"https:\/\/chloelina.com\/authentic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Loofah-stick-C-3969.png\" alt=\"Natural dried loofah gourd attached to a wooden stick on top of a brown bath towel\" class=\"wp-image-1706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chloelina.com\/authentic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Loofah-stick-C-3969.png 1000w, https:\/\/chloelina.com\/authentic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Loofah-stick-C-3969-300x184.png 300w, https:\/\/chloelina.com\/authentic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Loofah-stick-C-3969-150x92.png 150w, https:\/\/chloelina.com\/authentic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Loofah-stick-C-3969-768x472.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"1708\" src=\"https:\/\/chloelina.com\/authentic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Loofah-C-3976-1.png\" alt=\"Close up of a natural dried loofah sponge placed on top of a kiwi green turkish towel\" class=\"wp-image-1708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chloelina.com\/authentic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Loofah-C-3976-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/chloelina.com\/authentic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Loofah-C-3976-1-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/chloelina.com\/authentic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Loofah-C-3976-1-150x96.png 150w, https:\/\/chloelina.com\/authentic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Loofah-C-3976-1-768x492.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I find using the dry loofah once or twice a week is just the right amount of exfoliation for my skin. It stimulates my circulation- I can see it- and it helps clear off dead skin cells. I like to dry loofah right before shaving my legs. It helps to coax out the hairs that are still just below the skin surface. If you&#8217;ve ever had those pin-pricks-of-blood-horrors after shaving, this is what causes them.

No special reasoning, just because my back has its own issues and it feels soothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only word of caution is use a light touch: there should not be any scratches or raised marks on your skin. And never dry brush over any blemishes, cuts or moles. Be gentle to yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Dry brushing feels good, stimulates circulation and eliminates dead skin.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What dry brushing does not do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So now we&#8217;re back to those claims of lymphatic drainage , eliminates cellulite etc. No evidence whatsoever for lymphatic drainage.
