Bacne where?! 😎
, MD, a board-certified dermatologist at Schweiger Dermatology Group in New York City, explains. “Over-exfoliating your skin can result in breakouts because you are disrupting the important outer cell layer of your skin, which helps protect and keep your skin healthy." I had never thought about it that way, but it makes sense.
I enjoyed using a loofah because it made me feel squeaky clean but my skin would also be raw, red, and in desperate need of moisture after every shower. My trusty silicone scrubber does a fantastic job at getting rid of dirt and oil without causing irritation. "Silicone has a smooth texture compared to a typical loofah and so you will avoid the physical exfoliation and trauma associated with rubbing a harsh substance on your skin," notes Dr. Greenfield.
Loofahs are also a state-of-the-art playground for bacteria when it comes to body breakouts. "It's an object that harbors bacteria and passes it on from one area of skin to the next, or reintroduces the same bacteria the next time you use it," Dr. Greenfield says. "If you're fighting back acne but continuously reintroduce bacteria to your hair follicles through the use of a loofah, you are essentially fighting a losing battle.
