In an industry where there is an overwhelming amount of product launches daily, Product Of The Week helps you cut through the noise. To help you find your new beauty and wellness favorites, this series highlights the tried-and-true products that our writers can’t live without.

As someone who prides themself on having soft, radiant skin, I’ve tried my fair share of exfoliating products. And since many tools—from exfoliating gloves to the classic loofah sponge—can be breeding grounds for bacteria, I look for products that can gently slough away dead skin and impurities without compromising its health.

​After speaking with a friend about my concerns, I was introduced to the LUV SCRUB Mesh Body Exfoliator. Unlike other alternatives, the West African beauty essential is super-gentle, making daily exfoliation an option. Its 100% nylon construction stretches up to 50”, allowing you to reach your back and other hard-to-reach areas with ease.

​But what really sets this mesh exfoliator apart from the rest is its premium design. It has finished edges that promise durability for up to 18 months—so you don’t have to keep swapping it out and spending more money down the line.

​Once I incorporated the mesh body exfoliator into my shower routine, my skin felt rejuvenated. The mesh gave my body a silky-smooth feeling that I’ve never experienced. I felt clean, but not the “squeakyclean” feel that often signifies that a product is too harsh for your skin. While I usually have to reapply body wash, I noticed that the mesh created a rich, long-lasting lather, making my shower routine more efficient. Plus, after rinsing the moisture-wicking mesh with hot water and hanging it to dry, freshness was restored.

​Is this exfoliator the answer to your cleansing needs? I believe the LUV SCRUB Mesh Body Exfoliator deserves a place in every shower. Its gentle exfoliation and innovative design are hard to beat. Not to mention, you won’t have to worry about possibly damaging your skin barrier. If you’re ready to elevate your shower routine, it may be time to give LUV SCRUB a try. Priced at $18, it’s the perfect budget-friendly find that will go the distance.
