Dermatologists recommend gentle cleansing body washes without perfumes or fragrances and also recommend using a silicone scrub.
Dermatologists also recommend that you keep your showers to 10 minutes and apply a skin moisturizer after the shower and avoid extremely hot water.
Instead of a loofah dermatologists recommend using silicone scrubs which are gentle enough even for sensitive skin and is also good for cleansing the body without being harsh or abrasive.
Silicone scrubs are durable and also do not hold or trap bacteria or mold and make them more hygienic and easier to keep clean.
It is good to shower with a loofah as well.
Showering with a loofah can help to get your skin clean and exfoliate your skin as well.
I always shower with a loofah to get really clean and then I also use some bar soap afterwards as well.
However you can also simply wash and shower with just the loofah and body wash.
I prefer body wash mostly but sometimes I will also use bar soap by itself if I run out of body wash.
Although I find that the loofah and body wash gets me cleaner and makes me smell much fresher.
Dermatologists don't actually recommend washing with a loofah but there's no harm in doing so.
Just make sure to keep your loofah clean to avoid any bacteria growing on the loofah.
You can place the loofah in the washing machine and use regular laundry detergent to clean the loofah and then place it in the dryer for little while or hang the loofah out to dry.
Loofah sponges aren't necessarily dangerous, but they need to be taken care of and maintained properly to avoid bacteria growth.
If you love working up a lather when you're in the shower, the best thing you can do is make sure you're taking care of your sponges and other bath accessories.
You can also add body wash to a washcloth and wash your body in the shower with the washcloth and body wash.
Some ways to sanitize your loofah and prevent bacteria growth on the loofah include.
Rinse your loofah after each use and store it in a dry place.
Soak the loofah in diluted bleach for 5 minutes each week to disinfect it.
Soak the loofah in warm water and antimicrobial essential oil weekly.
Microwave the loofah for 2 minutes for a quick sanitization.
