The loofah sponge is a pure natural product and is the ideal alternative to the plastic sponge for anyone who values zero waste in the bathroom and kitchen and wants to live a plastic-free life. Because synthetic maintenance and cleaning supplies usually end up with the waste after a short time. In addition, using conventional sponges releases tiny plastic particles that end up in the drains and contribute to the pollution of our oceans with microplastics.
But not with the Awesome loofah sponge! Which is made from 100 percent vegan natural material and also has antibacterial properties. You can wash the loofah sponge at 40 °C and can therefore be used for a very long time. This not only protects the environment, but also your wallet. Reason enough for a sponge change in the bathroom. Below we describe all aspects of the material of the Awesome loofah sponge, its origin and its versatile application for cleaning and skin care.
What is loofah and where does it grow?
The loofah is the flesh of the loofah cucumber, also known as sponge cucumber. This one looks like a cross between a zucchini and a cucumber. The main countries where the loofah is grown are Egypt, Korea, China, Guatemala, Colombia and Paraguay. The sponge cucumbers are now also grown in the south of the US.
Remove dead skin cells
Because the dried fruit consists of sturdy fibers, the Awesome Loofah Sponge is ideal for exfoliating and removing dead skin cells. This natural way of exfoliating promotes blood flow and gives a soft and shiny skin as a result. The sponge is suitable for almost every skin type! You can find a great selection of loofah sponges here.
How do you use it?
Rinse the Loofah Sponge well before you scrub yourself for the first time. The sponge works best when you use it on damp skin and exfoliate yourself with gentle, gentle movements. If you want, you can use some natural soap or shower gel on the sponge.
After use, rinse and wring out the sponge well, then let it dry. You can also occasionally wash it in the washing machine.
As with other sponges, it’s a good idea to sterilize the Loofah once a week to prevent bacteria from accumulating in all the little nooks and crannies of the sponge. To sterilize the sponge, boil it in a pan of hot water for a few minutes.
The Awesome Loofah Sponge is a hundred percent natural product that allows you to scrub yourself without skin-unfriendly scrub gels. Good for you and for our planet!
