It’s best to use an exfoliating glove no more than twice a week while in the shower with plenty of soap or an exfoliating scrub, says Lozina.

“Apply the soap or scrub to your body, and with the water running, wet the glove and move it in a circular motion over the areas on your body you want to exfoliate,” she explains. “Generally speaking, most areas are safe to exfoliate, however, I would not over exfoliate your bikini area and face because these areas are more sensitive than other body parts,” she adds.

If you do exfoliate your face with a glove, use a gentle option without rough particles which can scratch and irritate the skin.
