Review (4/5): Too rough to use every day, but nice once in a while
I ordered this 3-pack of Salux towels for the shower to help with rough bumpy skin on the backs of my legs, and to have an easy way to scrub my back.
They take some getting used to, partially because they're so long and don't immediately lather like sponges do. I prefer to keep it folded, wet it, add some soap or shower gel, and rub/scrunch it together until a lather forms. I used it folded on my body, and then unfold it to full length to use on my back (like the picture shows). You have to keep it out of the stream of water, or else the soap will wash right out of it.
They were definitely much more harsh than I expected - I can only use them very gently, and can't use them at all on especially thin areas of skin like my shins, the tops of my feet, or my chest. I'd absolutely never use them on my face or neck.
After the first use, I noticed an immediate improvement to my bumpy skin. But after I began to scrub with them daily, I felt like it actually exacerbated the problem. Plus, it was just another item to keep in the bathroom and worry about washing every week. As a side note, I wish they made these in white or grey instead of the bright colors - I feel like they'd match so many more peoples' bathroom decor and I wouldn't feel as bad about leaving one lying around the bathroom.
Now, I just use a Salux once per week as an exfoliating treatment - they're definitely too strong to be an everyday thing for me, but it does the job and helps with my bumps overall.
