Good things don't last forever, and neither does your beloved Gleame. We recommend replacing your exfoliating gloves every 8-12 weeks to ensure good hygiene! But if you wash the gloves by hand with antibacterial soap, you can extend their lifespan! Our exfoliating gloves are handmade, which means they may show wear and tear over time. That's why it's important to replace them regularly so they're fresh, clean, new and deliver the best results!
