@melissabailey5930. It’s never too late - especially in your 20s so feel good about trying! Even for those starting in their 40s there are skin benefits from exfoliating and the summer is the best time to eliminate all the dry and dull skin from the winter months! Thanks for watching.

Yes! You are correct. I also read about this as I was making the video. The fabric is an interesting texture - abrasion but also soft too

Didn't she say that on the video? 😂

Hi @Wakara101. Excited to hear how your experience was and if you saw a lot of skin come off! It’s such an amazing towel and I’m happy my content was helpful to you!

Aw. That’s so nice to hear! I hope she enjoys the experience. Sending you both 💕

Let us know how it works!

Hello @Moira Kirstin Boyd. Yes, after soaking my body, I do turn off the water while scrubbing mostly to save water ☺ The cloth doesn't really shrink, but if you are finding that it does, then drying it in the sun by laying it flat and using a mug to retain shape will help. open the towel and swallow the mug with the towel so it stretches out while drying. Otherwise, there are towels that are longer like the yellow one in my video, so you can try that.

Can you use this gently on your face?

Hi Angie! Yes it is safe. Be sure to start by using the pink towel as it is the most gentle and once every 2 weeks. If you soak your body until your fingers are wrinkly then it will exfoliate a lot easily and lessen the risk of irritation. Let us know how it goes!

You're welcome 😊

Hello @haza blast. Thank you so much for your interest and feedback - it means so much to hear from you!

Here are my responses @haza blast: A) Yes, you can use body wash or cleanser after the Korean Italy towel, but the reason why I recommend using it before is because when skin has been exfoliated, it is more tender and certain ingredients in the body wash may irritate (unless you use a cleaner safer wash, then there is less risk). B) I also have strawberry skin, and I find it is okay. If you use the pink Korean Italy towel which has less abrasive surfaces, it will be gentler than the green towel. C) If you are using oils, I recommend a cleaner high quality. Look for natural ingredients like coconut oils, avocado, grapeseed, and tea tree oils are soothing, rather than petrolium or other lesser quality. Some baby oils have other ingredients, so it's good to look at ingredients first. Better quality oils will not clog the pores. :)

Steam from the shower is beneficial, but if you are conscious about water conservation, I suggest do all your washing (including shaving and hair wash) in a really steamy shower and as the last step, you can exfoliate once your skin is fully soaked in water.

@@mein40 ok thank you 🙏🏼

Hello! It’s difficult to determine without seeing it. I think it is an Italy towel but different form. If you like you can send me a photo at glow@mein40.com.

Yes. Absolutely. If you feel your skin needs a fresh exfoliation this will work as long as you soak yourself in the shower longer.

Hi @SugaSwag, I love moisturizing right after the shower to lock in the hydration from the shower. I like naturally scented, or no scented products like pure aloe vera (hotter weather), shea butter (dry colder weather) or clean products since the skin on our body covers alot of surface area!

Hello By Saima. Thanks for your question. It is meant to be used without soap because it can exfoliate better against wet skin. Hope you enjoy it!

Hi @Pamela Salazar! Sorry for the delay ~ I chatted with my husband who is a naturopathic doctor about this because it's tricky to treat Keratosis Pilaris with skincare alone, so I wanted my response to be more helpful. He mentioned while every case is unique to each individual, he has found that usually Keratosis Pilaris appears through the skin because of the body's inability to effectively breakdown fats. Foods that for sure can aggravate it are coffee, refined sugars, dairy so if you can, try to avoid. Also the body may not be able to breakdown fat soluble vitamins, which can require treatment beyond avoiding the above trigger foods, but something that may help is taking essential fatty acids like a 3:1 EPA:DHA fish oil. In addition, you could be deficient in vitamins B1, B3, B5, zinc and magnesium, so supplements are a good idea. Of course, these are just general suggestions and if you want better results, it's best to ask a doctor who knows your health for tailored advice. For the skincare, I find that the Italy towel really does help because the itchy bumps are a build up of keratin and dead skin cells on the surface of the skin so exfoliation is a good habit to develop and over time, the bumps will go away. Try to use the pink one first and once every other week initially (starting gentle is key). Friends have also seen really great results with using the Italy towel in the shower, then after drying off, applying a AHA or BHA serum. I recommend COSRX because it contains a good amount of AHA / BHA while being really affordable.

@@mein40 Thank you so much for taking the time to ask your husband, really appreciate all the information and tips you just gave me, I'm definitely subscribing to your channel !! Luckily there is a store close to where I'm located that sells COSRX products, so yeah! I am definitely giving it a try, hopefully my KP will improve cause that makes me really self-conscious, I already started using the Korean Italy towel, and OMG! I am still in shock, it works great. Once again thanks for all the information and the video :)

@@pamelasalazar633 that makes me so happy! I’m glad it is working for you. Keep us updated!!

@@mein40 this was such nice info you replied back to her with. I have been using AHA/BHA mixed with a hemp lotion after showers on my legs past couple months since I use an epilator on my legs again. I often get those annoying red speckles. My health is not great, but it isn't an actual medical condition. I believe it's just from the skin cells not being removed enough like shaving with a razor does...and obviously the mesh poof isn't working 😕

@@paintedstars2 the AHA BHA will help ensure that dead skin does not sit on the surface. I have not used an epilator before so I had to read about it. The skin must feel so sensitive afterwards! If sensitive from the epilator then the Italy towel may be too abrasive and not help reduce those red spots. I will ask my medical aesthetician about this one! Stay tuned!

I wash it in warm water after each use to makes sure there are no skin cells left. Then I dry (in the sun when possible). It lasts a long time too. Putting it in the washing machine may cause damage to the towel but it can also snag other items in the washing machine so I tend not to do that.

Hello Khabirah! Yes! I used an aloe Vera gel or a shake butter moisturizer right when the skin still feels moist and it really helps maintain the softness. Thanks for watching!

@@mein40 Thank you for repsonding!

@@mein40 Greetings. Also, can I use this on the soles of my feet and the palms of my hands?

@@Khabirah90 hello again! And yes, it is fine to use on the feet to get the dry skin!

@@mein40 ok. Thank you.

Hello Justin! If you are trying for the first time, it can take a while longer for your skin to soak. When you use the towel, try it with a little bit more steam. If you regularly exfoliate, it could be that the areas you diligently exfoliate don’t have as much dead skin. Try the areas that are often neglected like your ankles, neck and your back. Also backs of the legs. I hope you have more satisfying results next time. If you still do not see dead skin rolling off then try a different colour towel. Sometimes the different texture works better. Like the green or yellow rather than the pink one which is the softest.

Hi Yamilat! It is not hard and scratchy but there is abrasion so that the dead skin cells can be exfoliated. If you prefer softer then I recommend you try the pink towel to start.

Thanks for the question! Yes there is a difference - the red is the gentlest exfoliation so best for beginners and sensitive skin. The yellow is abrasive for really dry skin and the green cloth is in between the red and yellow (for most people the green does not irritate and works well).

Hello @Malaya Durrette! I stay in the steam shower to exfoliate. I like the warmth of the steam so after a bath, exfoliating works well. I then wash my body after exfoliating, then body oil or lotion and my skin feels amazing after!

Yes! I don’t take baths often but I love using it in the shower. Just use the Korean towel after soaking yourself in the shower first. 1. Wash and rinse hair, 2. soap your body and rinse and 3. Exfoliate and rinse off the dead skin with warm water

@@mein40 OK, thanks for your quick reply. It's good to know that showering will work too. Oh, btw, guys don't do baths!

@@fattony9227 haha. Thanks for sharing 😉

Hi Alicia! Oh gosh please do not try using this on your face! Here's a video of how to exfoliate our faces. It's gentle! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9F_ordk3rXZe5s.html

Hello @petitepatate! It is an exfoliator and to clean it you would use soap and warm water. Best to let it dry in the sun or natural lighting. You can also machine wash them and they are good to reuse until you feel the abrasion is no longer effective. Your skin will tell you how often. If you see dryness or feels itchy then it is time to exfoliate. Just be mindful to moisturize immediately after exfoliating, washing off and drying your skin to retain maximum moisture and smoothness.

@@mein40 thank you !!

Yes! Moisturizing immediately after rinsing away all the dead skin cells with lock in the hydration and keep skin soft. I like using essential oil based products when skin is extra dry. Thanks for watching and let us know what products you use to moisturize!

Yes! You can, but wash it separately from delicate fabrics because the abrasiveness of the towel can ruin other clothing! It is best to hand wash it after each use and let it dry naturally.

Hello @Nyeisha. Both is fine, but a simple handwash is easy in between showers!

It is tricky and a stretch, but you can go under and scrub the lower back, then over the shoulder for upper back. :)

@@mein40 .

It works well with soap too but the benefits of not using soap is that you can get more dead skin cells to peel off and see it too!!

Hi @deeznutz. I’ve heard and read comments that the mitt can be too small for some people’S hands. My tip has been to scrub in one direction so that the mitt doesn’t slide off. But if you mean you aren’t seeing the dead skin cells coming off, it may mean you need a deeper soak of your skin. If you are showering then try warmer water until your fingers prune. Also, sometimes it takes a few tries to get skin to roll off. Especially if you’ve never exfoliated with the mitt before. Please let me know more details of what’s not working if you need more help.

@@mein40 thank you 🩵

Hello! Thanks for asking this! Yes it is. After using it, dry it in the sun or a dry place and you can use it many times.

@@idkwutdafuqimdoing5948 let us know how it works out for you!
