2. Skin Sensitivity
Skin sensitivity indeed varies from person to person. If you have sensitive skin, opting for a gentler exfoliating glove can help avoid irritation while providing a gentle exfoliation.

3. Technique and Frequency
Even the best glove won’t work miracles if used incorrectly. It's very important to follow the steps in order for your Turkish exfoliating glove to work. Remember only water and friction from your glove is needed. Avoid soaps or body wash if you would like to see dead skin roll off.
Step 1.
Soak skin in a warm/steamy shower or bath for 10-15 minutes so your skin becomes soft. The most important pitfall and the answer to why my Turkish glove is not working is because this step is underdone. It is very important for your skin to be soft to prepare for dead skin rolling off.
Step 2.
Wet the glove & give it a bit of a squeeze to remove any excess water. Place your hand in the glove as you are ready to Love Your Bodii.
Step 3.
Step aside from the water, begin applying the best technique which is long strokes & side to side movements. Avoid circular motions.
During your first use apply light pressure to see how your skin responds. If comfortable you can gradually increase pressure with each use. Do not rinse until you finish exfoliating as this will remove more dead skin. Once you have finished exfoliating your body, rinse.
4. Why A Very Small Percentage May Still Not See Dead Skin Rolling Off?
