3. Body Benefits by Body Image Loofah ($2.22, walmart.com): “The texture of a loofah is rough when dry, but once you add hot water, it becomes soft and supple. Starting at your chest, gently but firmly rub the loofah against your skin in circular motions working your way down to your ankles — you can even use the loofah on the heels and soles of your feet. Don't forget to scrub your arms and hands as well! The circular motion will help remove dead skin cells and is gentler on your skin than scrubbing up and down. Then, just rinse your body off with cool water to close your pores and make you feel awake and refreshed. If (you're) trying to lull yourself to sleep, use warm water instead.”
