    The $1.60 exfoliating mitt that's straight out of a luxurious Korean spa

    The dream of a full body scrub in a Korean day spa is potentially on hold for at least another year. 

    But just because we can’t take you to Korea, it doesn’t mean we can’t suggest one very popular, textured glove that may just help bring Korea to you. Specifically, the part of Korea that leaves your skin silky smooth and ingrown hairs out of sight.

    Most commonly known as Korean Italy Washcloths or Korean Exfoliating Mitts, the glove we’re talking about is made from 100 per cent viscose, and is bright green in colour with black stripes to boot. The glove sits over your hand and is used in the shower to remove dead or dry skin cells, plus eliminate blackheads or congestion (such as back acne) through gentle exfoliation.

    Not dissimilar to the benefits of dry body brushing, consistent use can also increase blood circulation and promote lymphatic drainage for a year-round skin glow.

    And the best part? Ridding yourself of dry skin, clogged pores and ingrown hairs will cost you less than your bus fare to work. Averaging $6.50 for a pack of four, these reusable mitts are readily available to ship to Australia off Amazon or eBay. 

    As one of Amazon’s ‘most frequently carted products’ of 2020, his 5-star rated beauty product is certainly worth a shot, especially if you’re a big K-beauty fan. 

    Check them out here.

    Have you ever tried exfoliating with a Korean spa-inspired mitt?

    Gosh that is cheap!

    I use one of those mesh/net sponges. I'm okay with that.

    I bought a Kmart exfoliating mitt , I think it was $ 2 , it does the trick :-)

    AndreaJW 25 Feb 2021 3:03 PM

    Less than $2 each that's a bargain to me

    A loofah will do the same job

    I have not tried this particular one but have used many other skin mitts and the benefits are just fantastic.

    Ethelinde 25 Feb 2021 11:30 AM

    I have so many of these but never use them. Hmm. Comes free with most of my purchases from Korean e-commerce sites.

    ray_jay 25 Feb 2021 11:31 AM

    6.50 for these even a pack of 4 is expensive when they are free. seems like someone just picked a bunch up lol

    Ethelinde 25 Feb 2021 11:36 AM

    Even though they are reusable, at that price - nah.

    I have uncommonly tough skin due to thyroid disease, so I use something a bit more abrasive. Luckily, I'm not as prone to ingrown hairs since using IPL hair removal.

    So affordable. Thanks for the tip BH.

    Peta908 24 Feb 2021 4:11 PM

    Yes please!!!! they sound great

    lgauci 24 Feb 2021 2:09 PM

    This is something I would love to get and use!

    bebeautiful34 24 Feb 2021 1:34 PM

    Yay, love these. I'm not brave enough to sand my skin down like the Koreans do, I just lightly run it over my skin.

    jupiter 24 Feb 2021 11:27 AM

    Sounds good!

    clearcrystalwater 24 Feb 2021 10:56 AM

    Handy if you live in Korea - we don't have a shop around here that sell Korean stuff that I know of. I don't tend to shop on Amazon for anything so not really familiar with it. I know, I'm probably living under a rock - but it's a busy rock!! ; )

    I use a shower towel. I always have a few in stock. Makes it easier to do my back.

    Vi 24 Feb 2021 9:44 AM

    These sound great. Thanks for sharing the link as when I searched it on ebay, more expensive ones showed up but the link took me to the $6.50 ones. I think I will purchase them.

    I think I picked up something very similar from the places we stayed in Japan (they give you lots of interesting things), I'll have to hunt it out.

    Rose_P 23 Feb 2021 9:15 PM

    Sounds great!

    Tee631 23 Feb 2021 8:36 PM

    So affordable!

    Frenchy1 23 Feb 2021 7:27 PM

    Great colour. No losing this one.

    Miss19 23 Feb 2021 7:19 PM

    I would definitely get that

    Sootyhere 23 Feb 2021 6:58 PM

    Certainly worth a try at that price.

    cityglenda 23 Feb 2021 6:26 PM

    Bargain! Buy one pack and split it amongst your friends.
