While many exfoliating gloves are made of synthetic fibers such as polyester, Dewy Hours exfoliating body gloves are handmade with high quality biodegradable plant-based fibers. Our glove also features a tighter weave, meaning that it will be more gentle on your skin. Our glove will not hurt or scratch your skin. Additionally, our glove will shrink and adapt to the size of your hand once exposed to water, which means that it will not slip and slide while you're scrubbing, and also allows you to better control the pressure you apply with your palms. Our exfoliating glove is not only better for your skin, but also for the environment!
