Why a Mesh Body Scrub Should Be Part of Your Resolution

Exfoliation is more than just a step in your skincare routine. Using a body scrub like LUV SCRUB helps remove dead skin cells, giving your body a smooth canvas. There are many benefits to adding exfoliation to your body care routine, including:

  • Helping your soaps, body oils, and other body care products absorb better.

  • Boosting circulation so your skin looks healthier and more glowing.

  • Preventing ingrown hairs after shaving or waxing.

The texture of LUV SCRUB ensures your skin gets the right amount of exfoliation without feeling harsh. It is the perfect African scrub for anyone who wants to make skincare and body care a part of their daily life.

How to Use LUV SCRUB for Best Results

Incorporating an African Mesh Body Exfoliator into your routine is easy and quick. Here is a simple way to use LUV SCRUB:

  1. Wet your skin and the LUV SCRUB.

  2. Apply your favorite soap or body wash.

  3. Use in circular motion to clean and exfoliate.

  4. Rinse thoroughly, then apply your favorite body oils for soft, smooth skin.

Because it lathers so well, you save product while getting the full benefit of your soap or shower gel. This makes it an efficient and enjoyable step in your skincare routine, helping you stick to your New Year’s resolution without feeling like extra work.

Make Self-Care Your Resolution

Setting a resolution does not have to be about drastic changes or difficult habits. Sometimes the best resolutions are the ones that make you feel good every day. Committing to a body scrub routine with LUV SCRUB is a small change that can have a big impact. Smooth, glowing skin boosts confidence, makes your skincare products work better, and adds a moment of self-care to your daily routine.

Is Your LUV SCRUB Feeling Scrubbed Out?

Is your LUV SCRUB feeling a little too well-LUVed? Even the best African Scrub needs a refresh after countless showers and self care nights. Here’s how to tell when it’s time to replace your African Mesh Body Exfoliator and treat your skin to that fresh, “ahh” feeling again.

Be honest... how long have you had your LUV SCRUB? If it’s been with you through countless showers, vacations, and late-night self-care moments, that baby’s been loyal. But even the best African Mesh Body Exfoliator needs a little refresh sometimes. Here’s how to tell when your LUV SCRUB is asking for a break

What Happens Over Time

Your LUV SCRUB is made to last, but it naturally changes the more you use it. Here is what’s totally normal with your African scrub:

  • It gets softer. With regular use, your LUV SCRUB naturally becomes softer on the skin and loses some of that fresh out of the box exfoliation power that makes African Body Exfoliating feel so good.

  • Knots loosen up. After months of use, you might notice it feeling less tight. Nothing to worry about!

  • Color fades. A little fading just means it’s been putting in the work as your go to African Mesh Body Exfoliator.

  • It grows. Yup, it actually stretches out and gets longer with use. That’s a good thing.

  • Edges fray. A few frays on the sides are fine. Your LUV SCRUB isn’t falling apart, it’s just well-LUVed after all that African Body Exfoliating care.

Time for a Refresh

We recommend replacing your LUV SCRUB after 18 months as a good best practice. Think of it like getting a new toothbrush or new sheets. It just makes sense after a while. Your old one has done its job, and a fresh LUV SCRUB makes your shower routine feel brand new again, especially when you love African Body Exfoliating and want the best results.

Wait... Don’t Toss Your Old One Yet

Before you say goodbye, give it a second life. Your older LUV SCRUB is perfect to take on trips, to keep in your gym bag, or to use for self-tanning removal or body treatments that you don’t want to use your brand new one for. It still has plenty of use in it, just in a more casual way, especially when you need a backup African Mesh Body Exfoliator.

Keep That Skin Glowing

A new LUV SCRUB means you starting fresh and that satisfying “ahh” feeling every time you shower. If your current one has been hanging around for a while, take this as your sign to treat yourself with a new African Scrub.

Your skin will thank you later.

Fall Into Sexy Skin: Perfecting Seasonal Exfoliation

Just because the season to show off your skin is over doesn’t mean you shouldn’t continue to take care of it. It’s important to maintain your body care routine year-round, especially as the weather gets cooler. Exfoliation is an essential part of keeping the skin looking and feeling healthy, and LUV SCRUB is the perfect tool to do it!

Why Exfoliate In the Fall & Winter?

You may notice your skin getting dry or itchy as it gets colder. That’s likely because you’re not effectively exfoliating. The cool, dry air, combined with high heat indoors at work or home can strip the skin of its natural moisture. Many people make the mistake of only using moisturizer this time of year, believing it will help nourish their skin. However, exfoliation is an essential step in eliminating dead skin cells and creating a smooth canvas for moisturizing products.

How Do You Take Care of Your Skin in Cold Weather?

The cool winter weather is known to dry out the skin, but exfoliation works to eliminate those dead skin cells. LUV SCRUB’s Mesh Body Exfoliator is a modern take on the African net sponge, which has been used in Ghana for generations. Its supreme knotted texture allows you to effectively cleanse and exfoliate your body. You’re in control of how much pressure you apply when using the African sponge, ensuring you do not over-exfoliate. Steer clear of shower tools such as loofahs, shower gloves, and any similar products, as they do not provide effective exfoliation and can breed nasty bacteria. We recommend staying away from body care products (such as shower gels or moisturizers) with alcohol, as it is a drying ingredient. After using your LUV SCRUB, make sure to apply your favorite moisturizer all over your body to help maintain your skin's hydration levels. Feel free to test out different oils, lotions, and body butter to see what works best for you.

When Should You Not Use an Exfoliator?

LUV SCRUB is not recommended for those with sensitive skin or skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and others. Exfoliation should also be avoided directly after any skin treatments. This includes (but is not limited to) waxing, laser hair removal, or chemical peels. After these treatments, your skin will be extremely sensitive, meaning exfoliation could cause damage. Avoid using an African exfoliating net and other exfoliating tools for at least a few days, or up to a week after your treatment. Exfoliation should also be avoided if you have open wounds, as it can cause more damage during the healing process.

In Conclusion, Exfoliation is Key!

Although your skin may not be exposed, it’s essential to keep up with a good body care routine year-round. Exfoliation will remove dead skin cells and keep your skin looking and feeling smooth (and healthy). Use your LUV SCRUB (African sponge elevated) daily, and experience the difference yourself

Is it good to exfoliate a tattoo? That answer is a resounding YES! Especially if you’re using a gentle exfoliator like the LUV SCRUB - a premium African net sponge alternative.

Why Exfoliation Helps Make Your Tattoos Last

Tattoos are an amazing act of self-expression. What other way can you literally have works of art on your body? Often, tattoos are meaningful and can remind you of important times in your life. Sometimes, they’re even just for fun or to take a walk on the wild side. If you’ve joined the ranks of the tatted babes, you’re probably wondering how to keep your gorgeous works of art looking their best for years to come (since they are forever). No worries LUV, we’ve got you covered.

Read on to find out how to make your tattoos look their best.

Drink your H20

You know we’re big fans of hydration over here, so this should come as no surprise. Want to look glowing from the inside out? You already know the answer babe. Chug that water. It will make your skin look amazing all over, and make your gorgeous tat pop on your skin. Try an insulated water bottle with a straw to keep your water icy cold all day long (it works for us!).

Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate

The best way to get rid of dead skin and start fresh? Exfoliate! Your skin will be silky smooth to the touch, and that applies to your tattoo too. We love a good exfoliating scrub as often as daily to get rid of all that buildup. Just make sure not to rub too hard on your handiwork to keep it looking its best. You got this, smooth operator.

Wear Your SPF

We can’t stress this enough: sun protection is so important to your skin, especially to your tattoos. Not only do UV rays harm your skin, they can make your tattoo fade much faster. Make sure to spray yourself down with SPF 15 or higher before heading out into the sun for the best results.

Moisturize

Now that your skin is looking all glowy, let’s keep it that way! Moisturizing is essential to your skincare routine and it will keep your artwork looking stunning. Think of it this way: any step in your skincare routine on your face should also go on your body as well (and we know you’re not skipping moisturizer on your face). Try a light lotion mixed with body oil for a sensual glow that will showcase your tats.

Try A Tattoo Balm

When it comes to tattoo fading, you may think just simple lotion is the way to go. There are actually specially made tattoo balms that will keep your tattoo looking as vibrant as day one. Just a small dab rubbed in evenly will make it look just as stunning as on day one.

Take Time For Self Care

You’re probably wondering what self-care has to do with tattoo care, and the answer is everything. When you’re stressed and tired, it shows up on your skin. How many times have you gone out the night before only to be treated to bags under your eyes the next day? Make sure to take time for you and to unwind. Your skin and your tattoo will thank you.

At the end of the day, tattoo care is very similar to skincare with a few extra steps. With just a few small tweaks, your tattoos will be looking their best for years to come. Just make sure to take care of yourself LUV and your tats will thank you.
