After starting an organic skincare company with my mom I've heard my fair share of myths about Hammam scrub mitts. But let me tell you, the truth is more interesting than fiction.
Myth 1: Hammam scrub mitts are only used for exfoliation.
Fact: While exfoliation is the primary use of Hammam scrub mitts, they can also increase blood circulation and stimulate lymphatic drainage. Think of it as a mini massage for your skin.
Myth 2: Hammam scrub mitts are harsh on the skin.
Fact: These mitts are designed to be gentle while effectively removing dead skin cells and impurities. Just adjust the pressure according to your skin type and sensitivity.
Myth 3: Hammam scrub mitts are only suitable for certain skin types.
Fact: They can be used on all skin types, including sensitive skin. Choose the right mitt for your skin type, as some may be too abrasive for certain conditions.
Myth 4: Hammam scrub mitts should be used daily.
Fact: Overuse can damage the skin and disrupt its natural barrier. Use once or twice a week, depending on your skin's needs.
Myth 5: Hammam scrub mitts can replace regular soap or body wash.
Fact: They are not a replacement, but should be used in conjunction with these products to ensure thorough cleansing and moisturizing.
Myth 6: Hammam scrub mitts are difficult to use.
Fact: They are easy to use, requiring no special skills or techniques. Wet the mitt with warm water, add soap or body wash, and massage in circular motions.
Myth 7: Hammam scrub mitts are only used in traditional hammam baths.
Fact: They are a popular tool for exfoliation and skincare in many cultures around the world and can be used at home as part of your regular skincare
