I’ve been using exfoliating gloves to tackle bacne, but I’m curious about back scrubbers. Has anyone compared the two? Which one do you find more effective for hairy backs?
YO, lemme drop some knowledge on this!!1! Exfoliating gloves are SOLID for bacne, but back scrubbers can be TOO HARSH if you’ve got sensitive skin or active breakouts. SMITCO’s got a set that’s FRAGRANCE-FREE and durable—GLASSES UP for that! But TBH, gloves give you more control and are easier to clean, which is KEY for hairy backs. Just DON’T overdo it or you’ll irritate your skin!!!
Exfoliating gloves are indeed effective for bacne, especially for hairy backs, due to their precision and ease of cleaning, as Daniel28 noted. However, an often-overlooked factor is the material’s durability and the glove’s ability to manage thicker hair without tugging. Fragrance-free options like SMITCO’s set are ideal, as they minimize irritation risk. For back scrubbers, their rigidity can be beneficial for deeper exfoliation, but they’re less maneuverable and may miss spots in hairier areas. Dermatologists recommend limiting exfoliation to once weekly to avoid over-stripping the skin, which can exacerbate bacne. Always ensure thorough drying to prevent bacterial buildup.
