Overall, it’s a nice option for doing everything you need a loofah to do. It cleans well, mildly exfoliates, reaches everywhere on the body, and comes in five gorgeous colors. Plus, it’s long-lasting: The brand claims it’s good for up to 18 months. Last year, their trio of sustainable and reusable advent calendars was a huge hit, and this year, they're just as great (if not better). One of the best gift ideas 2022. This year's lineup is inspired by The Body Shop's Community Fair Trade programme, with each calendar celebrating the women who help produce the ingredients found in their products. Expect to indulge in the brand's best-selling goodies as well as new releases and even a few exclusives. Our personal favs include the Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter, T ea Tree Face Wash, Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask and the Vitamin E Hydrating Toner. Plus, you'll get a healthy mix of full-sized and travel-sized products – perfect to throw in your beauty bag for any upcoming holidays.

Out of all the loofahs we tested, this was our favorite. It was very effective at cleansing and exfoliating, it was able to reach the entire body, and it’s a hygienic, long-lasting option. C. K.

Beware that the low price means it may not be as high quality as other options. Some of us felt that the material was a bit rough. Still, it’s super affordable, and it’s made out of 100 percent recycled material. Overall, this is a great affordable loofah that exfoliates gently and without irritating skin. b) H. Xiang, K.

Overall, we love this cruelty-free, eco-friendly option (it's sustainably harvested and completely biodegradable, after all), but it's not without its downsides. It's not the best option for exfoliation, and the natural material may not last as long as synthetic loofahs. It could also use a hanging ribbon to make for easier use and to store while it dries.

See DOI: 10.1039/c1ra00429h/ To find the very best ones, we’ve done the so-called dirty work for you. After researching and choosing some of the most highly rated loofahs, we tested them all and used our usual body washes to accurately compare them to each other and our past loofah experiences and ultimately compile this list. The good news? None of these loofahs will irritate the skin, and better yet, they’ll help keep you clean and soft. K. S. Novoselov, A. K. Geim, S.V. Morozov, D. Jiang, M. I. Katsnelson, I. V.

The heads felt too small (except for the massage head), so it took a while to use them over the entire body. It also felt awkward to use at times—the device has some give to it, so sometimes it was difficult to wrangle where we needed it to be. But, if you’re looking for something with all the bells and whistles, this is the option for you.

After researching popular and highly-rated loofahs, we selected several to put to the test at home. Each one was graded across a standard methodology, and insights were gathered across the team to rate which loofahs were best. When testing, we noted how well each one lathered and exfoliated, how easy it was to use, and whether or not it caused any irritation. With this data in hand, each loofah placed in the category where it most excelled. c) A. Magasinski, P. Dixon, B. Hertzberg, A. Kvit, J. Ayala and G. Yushin, Nat. Mater., 2010, 9, 353 CrossRef CAS.

While you may want loofah with serious physical exfoliating power to help slough off dead skin and promote circulation, a too-rough loofah can damage the skin. You want your loofah to have a soft, fine grit, explains Ross. “It shouldn’t be too rough, or it can break the skin, leading to irritation, redness, and possibly infection,” he tells Byrdie. Something like the Luv Scrub Mesh Body Exfoliator is ideal. The PMD Clean Body Cleansing Device is unlike anything else on this list. The high-tech, rechargeable device can hardly be called a loofah. With three attachments and multiple settings, it has everything you need in one product; however, it might not be the most ideal option for everyone.
