Silk vs. Viscose Exfoliating Gloves: Which One Is Right for You?
Face needs finesse, body needs traction. Learn the feel, use-cases, and care tips to pick the perfect Turkish hammam glove for your routine.
At a Glance
| Feature | Silk (Raw / Plant-Based) | Viscose (Body) |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Area | Face, neck, delicate zones | Body (arms, torso, legs) |
| Skin Feel | Ultra-gentle polish; buffs without scraping | From gentle to deep, depending on thickness |
| Best For | Sensitive/normal facial skin; refining texture | Clearing dull buildup; rough patches; men’s care |
| Frequency | 1–2×/week (light, slow circles) | 1–2×/week; thick textures start 1×/week |
| Durability Signal | Replace when weave softens and glide feels “slippery” | Replace when grip fades or fabric loosens |
Silk Exfoliating Gloves (Raw & Plant-Based)
Who it’s for: anyone needing feather-light exfoliation on the face and other sensitive areas. Silk polishes the surface so skincare applies smoothly and makeup sits better.
- Raw cocoon silk face mitt: our softest option for reactive skin.
- Plant-based silk face mitt: equally gentle with color options (Salmon Pink, Candy Pink, Natural White).
- Silk back scrubber/strap: even reach across shoulders and spine with controlled pressure.
How to use (face): soften skin 5–10 minutes → wet mitt and gently squeeze → slow circles with light touch → cool rinse → moisturize. Never use body gloves on the face.
Viscose Exfoliating Gloves (Body)
Who it’s for: full-body polishing. Viscose offers predictable mechanical grip and comes in thin, medium, and thick textures so you can match your goal.
- Thin/Gentle: sensitive body skin or first-timers; maintenance polish.
- Medium (classic): normal skin; weekly full-body refresh.
- Thick/Deep: stubborn roughness, legs/elbows, men’s care; start 1×/week.
How to use (body): shower 5–10 minutes → wet glove and wring → long, controlled strokes with light–moderate pressure, no soap during polishing → cool rinse → lotion or oil.
Match Your Concern
- Sensitive face / redness-prone: raw cocoon silk face mitt.
- Uneven tone after summer: viscose medium → thick (body only) + consistent hydration.
- “Strawberry legs” look: thick viscose on legs 1×/week; gentle pressure; post-shower body oil.
- Back care: silk or plant-based silk back scrubber to reach evenly.
Care Tips (Keep Performance High)
- Rinse thoroughly after each use; gently squeeze (don’t twist aggressively).
- Air-dry in a ventilated place; avoid damp corners and direct sun.
- Hand-wash with mild, fragrance-free soap if needed; avoid machine wash/tumble dry.
- Time to replace when grip weakens or the weave loosens and glide increases.
