Fresh as a daisy
I normally get the normal Salux from my local Asian grocery, pharmacy, or beauty store. I often get compliments on my soft skin, which I attribute to using this to exfoliate and moisturizing immediately after a shower, but before toweling off. The Salux design works really well to get hard to reach spots like your back and the bottoms of your feet. I've tried off brand towel washcloths and loofah fibers were way too soft. It was time to replace my regular Salux, but after recently moving, it wasn't a priority to get a new one, and was without for a couple weeks.<br /><br />I don't really get body acne, but I felt crusty and clogged for going a couple of weeks without exfoliating! I could feel hair conditioner on my back not fully rinsed away, even though I showered every day.After getting settled in to my new place, I had finally had it and placed an order for this "hard"(lol) version. The tasteful grey color actually matched the color scheme of my new bathroom.  The first shower that I took once I received this was so refreshing! I felt like a snake shedding its skin, like a Phoenix reborn in cleansing fire. It was the satisfaction of scratching an itch except the itch is on your entire body. I love the feeling of a brand new Salux! Hopefully the "hard" version sustains that feeling for longer. It's holy grail right now, until I can find something that's as effective but zero waste. On that note, a Salux is more hygienic and sustainable than a regular loofah because the knotted fibers of a loofah don't dry completely and are therefore more susceptible to bacteria and mildeww growth.
