Kessa Glove Quality Review and Care Q&A
I came across the Kessa exfoliating glove while shopping for another brand priced at $50- pretty steep price tag! So I decided to give Kessa’s version a try. I’ve been experiencing more dry/dead skin than usual, and my previous mitten that shall remain “nameless” was old and I tossed it.I am happy to report that this much more affordable glove works excellent. I don’t use it with every shower (you don’t want damaged skin!), but with just semi-regular use (once or twice a week) my skin is great again. Couldn’t be happier!Some questions you may have:Q: Do you *have* to use the Kessa Moroccan soap, or Moroccan soap in general?A: While I’m sure Kessa’s soap is great, I try to avoid as many animal-tested products as possible. I do not know if Kessa is cruelty-free, and I already have several great smelling herbal soaps. They are bar soaps, all natural, cruelty-free, and locally made. And no, they are NOT Moraccan. But it works just fine. So the answer is no, you don’t need a special soap. I do make sure my skin is optimally prepared by being wet for a few mins before going in to scrub, that way it has sort of soaked to soften and loosen dead skin. And when I’m out of the shower, I apply Palmer’s Shea Butter, coconut oil, or another deeply moisturizing product. If you wanna know my routine to maximize my time, water, and use of the glove, read on in this section. Otherwise, skip to the next paragraph. Routine: So, I usually do scrubbing while my hair conditioner is in doing its thing. I start my shower just by taking a minute to relax (who doesn’t love an extra hot, steamy shower?), then I soap up my body once with my hands and rinse. Then I shampoo my hair. When I’m done rinsing my hair, I wash my face. Then apply my hair conditioner. While conditioner is in, I soap up the top half of my body again, and use the glove. Rinse well. Then do the lower half of my body. It’s best to shave after exfoliating, so I follow with any shaving I need to do, and finally, rinse out my conditioner. Doing things in this order allows the time I need for my skin to ‘soak’ prior to using the glove, but it doesn’t waste time, nor do I waste water just standing there waiting for my skin to soak and soften.Q: How often should you replace the glove?A: If you take decent care of it by hanging it up, keeping it dry between showers, and rinsing it well with some very hot water every once in a while, this glove should last a year, after which I would suggest replacing, mostly for sanitary reasons. BUT if you have the habit of not hanging it up, and it often ends up found on the shower floor or randomly crumpled in a nook of a shower shelf, caddy, etc, then I suggest you replace after 6 months. Hey, stuff happens, and at this price, don’t worry too much if you aren’t the best at keeping this hung and dry between your showers (it can be hard when you share the shower space with others).Q: Do I need to wash or sanitize the glove?A: You should not need to wash the glove beyond rinsing it well, lathering it with some soap just for cleaning itself (so, after you’ve used it on yourself), and then rinsing it again. I share my bathroom/shower and sometimes find that my glove has been somehow knocked into the tub and become wet again from someone else’s shower (rude, I know) so I wash and rinse with some extra hot water when that happens.Q: Is the glove machine washable?A: Again, hand-washing and hanging to dry after each use is really all you need to do. That said, if you really feel the need, you can run this through the washing machine. But DO NOT use chlorine bleach, and DO NOT put in the dryer. Hang dry at all times!Please note that the amount of dead skin the glove removes depends on how much you actually have. Makes sense, right? For me, when I first got the glove, I was having MAJOR skin issues, so the first few uses removed rolls and rolls of dead skin, it was quite astonishing. But with regular use (experiment with how often you need to use it, everyone is different), I get very little, if any, visible dead skin removed; that doesn’t mean it didn’t work, it just means there isn’t enough to be visible. Think about it: when yyou exfoliate your face, you don’t see a bunch of dead skin come off. So if you purchase this and don’t see visible dead skin coming off with use, it’s not due to the product. It just means you don’t have a lot of dead skin! Keep it that way by using the glove once a week. Regular exfoliating also helps circulation, skin tone, and production of new skin cells, leaving you with softer, healthier, and younger-looking glowy skin! Always, always, always apply a good body moisturizer after you shower, but especially after using this glove. If you see some skin flaking or cracking but the glove isn’t removing much visibly, you may have dry skin, and not a lot of built-up dead skin. In this case, increase your use of body moisturizer, or try a more deeply moisturizing product like shea or cocoa butter. These (especially the shea butter) do take longer to absorb, but they moisturize better and feel amazing. If you have the time, use olive oil- it penetrates into your skin even better and has the added benefit of vitamin E, which is essential for healthy skin. But be careful! Oils WILL leave oil blotch stains, so put on a robe and cover your seating area with a large towel or old sheet. Also, if you suffer from VERY dry, but not shedding skin, exfoliating can actually do more harm than good if done too often, so while it’s still good for you to do, reduce the frequency of use of any exfoliating products/tools. And for your best skin ever, make sure you are, of course, drinking plenty of water.

LOVE! A MUST BUY!
I have been buying this product on amazon for 6 years now. I gave some to my family members as Christmas gifts one year. I use the glove after letting my skin get soft in hot water but before washing my body with soap. It makes my skin extremely soft and I have never found another product that achieves the same level of exfoliation or makes my skin as smooth as the kessa glove. I think exfoliating scrubs and soaps are an absolute waste when this product exists.

A little flimsy, but I like the feel.
I read a bunch of reviews before buying this and some were great and some were not. It is a small opening for your hand. Mine is a snug fit and I have smaller hands. I like the feel of this, especially before and after shaving legs/underarms. It is a bit abrasive, if you’re super sensitive, not for you. I rinse after use, let air dry in shower and then throw it in the wash after several uses and dry on low. Seems to be holding up.

Best tool ever
If you have really dry skin this is really good to help exfoliate the dead skin. After standing in hot water this helps get the dead skin better than wash rags, loofas, and exfoliation gloves. I’ve had more success using this than any other exfoliation product.

Please go for it, so damn good
