Egyptian **0% natural Luffa for healthy body scrapping and
shower
Although you may call them a loofah sponge, these long, fibrous
bath accessories come from a vegetable source and not a sea
creature. The luffa plant, a relative of the cucumber, produces
large gourds that leave a durable network of fibers after treating
and drying the fruit. The resulting mildly abrasive scrubber
exfoliates your skin and enhances surface circulation.
Any friction on your skin increases localized blood flow.
Capillaries, the tiny blood vessels closest to your skin, naturally
expand when stimulated. You've made use of this response if you've
tried to warm your hands by rubbing them together to create
friction and stimulate blood flow. A loofah has a similar effect,
stimulating increased circulation to areas that you scrub with it.
Unlike harshly abrasive scrubbers and sponges, a loofah's firm but
elastic fibers are round in cross section and are less likely to
scratch skin.
