Why a Back Scrubber/Strap Instead of a Mitt?

  • Even reach: Two-hand pull creates uniform pressure across the entire back.
  • Better control: Long, horizontal sweeps reduce patchy polishing and over-rubbing.
  • Less shoulder strain: No awkward angles or missed spots between shoulder blades.

Material Choices (What Fits Your Skin)

Material Skin Feel Best For Notes
Raw Cocoon Silk Feather-light, refined polish Sensitive/normal skin; frequent maintenance Polishes without scraping; great after workouts or sunscreen-heavy days
Plant-Based Silk Gentle, consistent texture Most skin types; daily comfort users Color options; easy habit builder for regular routines
Viscose (Strap form) More “grip,” from medium to assertive Back roughness, clogged-feel zones Use light pressure; avoid using viscose strap on face/neck

Step-by-Step: Back Polishing Routine

  1. Soften first (5–10 min): Warm shower or steam until skin feels supple.
  2. Activate the strap: Wet and gently squeeze. No soap during the polishing pass or you lose mechanical grip.
  3. Two-hand sweep: Hold handles, slide the strap horizontally across the upper back with light–moderate pressure. Work top to mid-back, then mid to lower back.
  4. Angles that matter: Diagonal passes (↘︎ and ↗︎) help catch the scapula edges and spine-adjacent zones evenly.
  5. Rinse & finish: Cool rinse, pat dry, apply a simple body lotion or oil.

Frequency & Pairing

  • Gentle (silk): 1–2×/week or quick maintenance passes when needed.
  • Grip (viscose): Start 1×/week; increase only if skin stays calm.
  • Smart combo: Strap for back + mitts for body/face for a balanced routine.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Pressing too hard: more pressure ≠ more results; think consistency.
  • Using soap during polish: reduces friction, causes over-rubbing.
  • Rushing softening time: dry skin resists; steam is your friend.
  • Leaving it damp in a corner: always air-dry in a ventilated spot.

FAQ

Silk vs viscose strap—how do I decide?
Choose silk for gentle, frequent maintenance; choose viscose for more grip on rough-feel areas. Start gentle, scale up only if needed.
Can I use the strap on my face or neck?
No. Straps are for the back and body. For face/neck, use a silk face mitt only.
How do I avoid irritation?
Soften the skin first, keep pressure light, skip soap during polish, and moisturize after. Avoid polishing on freshly shaved or irritated skin.
How long will a strap keep working well?
With proper rinsing and air-drying, performance remains reliable for months. Replace when grip fades or the weave loosens.
