why you
need to sluff.
you're not as clean as you think
sluff removes the ashy, dead skin and product buildup barrier on the top of your skin, which prevents it from absorbing bodycare products (lotions, creams, etc.).
the method.
step 1:
wet skin
Start with a hot shower and let your skin soften.
step 2:
cleanse with the pre-sluff bar
The bar removes the slip (lotion, cream, oils) so the mitt can grip. Rinse.
step 3:
sluff with
the mitt
Use firm pressure and long strokes (put some elbow grease into it for better results). Watch your dead skin roll off.
step 4:
seal in moisture
Rinse away the sluff stuff, towel dry, then apply lotion to seal in the smooth.
Once a week is the sweet spot. Your skin needs time to regenerate between sessions.
You can sluff more often if you regularly wear body SPF, sweat more than average, spend a lot of time in grimy environments, etc. You can also use less pressure for a daily, light sluff.
More pressure = more results. Elbows, knees, ankles, and torso tend to produce the most sluff.
Step away from the direct stream of water or turn off the shower while you sluff.
Try not to get soap on the mitt. Sluffing works best when the mitt has grip.
