We all work so hard to take care of our skin. For this, we go to the parlor and get expensive skin care treatments. We use the most expensive skin care products available in the market. Because of this, our skin remains glowing. But, many times it happens that we do some such negligence in daily chores, due to which our skin gets into trouble.
We are talking about loofah, which is used while bathing. If you also use loofah, then you need to be careful. Here we are going to tell you about some such things, that you have to keep in mind while using a loofah. If you do not take care of these things, you may have to face skin-related problems. Everyone must keep these things in mind while using loofah.
Keep it dry for the whole day.
Often after bathing, we hang the loofah in the bathroom in such a place that it always remains wet in water. But this should not be done. After bathing, clean the loofah thoroughly and keep it in a dry place. Bacteria and fungi can grow quickly in moisture, due to which there is a risk of infection. Therefore, it is important to dry it thoroughly.
It is important to change it on time.
If you use a loofah, then it is very important to change it on time. The loofah should be changed every 3-4 weeks because bacteria and dead skin can accumulate on it. If this is not done, you may have to face skin-related infections.
Clean it properly
It is necessary to clean the loofah properly at least twice a week. For this, soak the loofah in hot water or vinegar for some time so that the bacteria accumulated on it die. By doing this, you can reduce the risk of infection.
Use with a light hand.
Most people use loofah by rubbing it on the skin, whereas this should not be done. Always use a loofah with a light hand. So that there is no wound due to rubbing on the skin.
Precaution for sensitive skin
If your skin is sensitive or you are allergic to something, then loofah may not be suitable for you. In such a situation, use a mild scrub or soft cloth.
How correct is daily use?
If you use loofah by keeping in mind the things mentioned above, then there is no risk to you. Then you can use it every day. But if you do not have time to clean the loofah, or you are not able to change it on time, then avoid using the loofah. It can cause infection.
