WHAT MAKES EXFOLIATING TOWELS BETTER THAN BODY SCRUBS

Body scrubs have long been a go-to in skincare routines. But as consumers become more conscious about results, sustainability and ingredient impact, exfoliating towels are quickly becoming the smarter choice.

Traditional scrubs use granules—sugar, salt, or microbeads—to polish the skin. While effective short-term, they often come with practical and environmental drawbacks. Many scrubs leave oily residue behind, contain synthetic fragrance, or are packaged in single-use plastic tubs. They can also be wasteful and too abrasive for sensitive skin.

By contrast, a quality exfoliating towel delivers all the benefits of physical exfoliation—without any of the mess or fuss. Its tightly woven bamboo cotton texture buffs away dead skin efficiently and evenly. You control the pressure, and there's no film left behind. Just clean, refreshed skin ready to absorb your moisturiser.

Another advantage is reach. Unlike scrubs that can be hard to use on your back or shoulders, exfoliating towels are designed with flexibility in mind. You can easily target hard-to-reach areas with minimal effort.

They’re also a great long-term value. One large towel can be torn in to multiple smaller wipes making a pack of 30 turn in to a pack of 120!. Great value

In terms of hygiene, the cotton scrub towels are hygienic and disposable —unlike scrubs, which can harbour bacteria in open containers or encourage double-dipping.

So, while scrubs have their place, exfoliating towels are clearly the more efficient, sustainable, and skin-friendly option. They offer control, consistency and convenience—and that’s exactly what modern skincare should deliver.
