Wait so ppl don't rub their skin the shower I have never taken a shower or bath without rubbing my skin for killing the dead skin I also have this product helps me bcuz when you rub you're skin with only youre hands no product it is going to hert
Same! It freaked me out the first time. It seemed like it started happening all of a sudden, like I’m not sure ab you guys but I don’t remember having this when I was younger 😅
I took a shower once when I was little and I had no idea this was dead skin. I think I thought that it was like a paper or an eraser but it scared the crap outta me 😅
Desi moms😈 , even they scrub us like anything. One day I had a wound on my left hand 😫😂😂😂😂😂. But thing is for sure they made our childhood special and unique ❤️.
Fun fact: In Turkey there are baths specifically for this. It‘s a very hot and steamy so the skin can come of easily, they are too rough sometimes though.
Most people use a "loofah" so they do exfoliate, it's just not always like that. And a lot of professional online have actually advised against it(I've argued with some of them because it sounds ridiculous how they explain why you shouldn't)

"You scrape my back and I'll scrape yours" was the original saying that morphed into "scratch my back...". People didn't used to bath every day so when they did there was a buildup of dead skin cells and people would help each other to scrape the areas they couldn't reach, their back.
We've been doing this in Morocco for centuries. It's called a Moroccan bath. It's also famous in Syria and Turkey. These sort of baths were famous all over North Africa and the Middle East.
I always thought it was weird that Koreans called it an “Italian” towel. Could be that Romans athletes would use blades to scrape the dirt and grime off. This towel is used only once or twice a week.
YESS and it originates from modern day turkey in the city of bursa we as turkish people got o turkish hamams every month and seeing the dirt coming out of foreigners makes me feel clean 😄
I am Tunisian and this is used in Tunisian households . Every Sunday we had to go through this as kids it was a torture...For Tunisians people who only use soap to wash w/o exfoliating are dirty. So glad my mom raised us that way because my skin is so soft now as an adult and I still use it every sunday :).
If you don’t take a nice steam the skin doesn’t tend to loosen up and mostly clumps off when you’re drying but not during the wash. I scrub but I’m not going to scrub myself like a fucking dirty pot with food burnt on.
As a north african, I was pretty shocked to learn that most westerners only use soap and no "tool" when showering, as for us it's soft loofah everyday and hard loofah once a week XD
my mom is korean and used to use that when she bathed me - i loved every part of bathtime EXCEPT FOR THIS BECAUSE IT FELT LIKE I WAS BEING SKINNED LAYER BY LAYER but now when I use it on my own it's not so bad :)
I bought something similar on Amazon and couldn’t believe the amount of skin that came off the very first time I used it especially because I had used my loofa right before the cloth. Now when I use it in the shower only the tops of my arms have any skin that comes off everywhere else is just fine. My skin has transformed though. It’s so freakin soft & im so glad because I am 31 weeks pregnant and had been feeling like an alligator !

You gave her such a sophisticated name, in Algeria we call it "Kissa" and we the stuff that comes out is never called skin.... We call it dirt 😂😂😂😂 when we finish bath we are never called smooth, no, we are told "you finally look like a human being"....
Growing up mexican we only had those. A cousin stayed over once and we were taking a bath together (we were like 6) and she refused to use it bc "It was too scratchy" lmao. Nowadays if I use a normal wash cloth I don't feel like I'm fully clean, I have to use the exfoliating ones to actually feel clean lol.
In my house we used a loofah but not the soft-cute one you find on supermarket shelves. Not even the fancy expensive ones you get at the ‘organic’ stores. It was a dry loofah bought at some herbs&spices hidden oooold store in Athens downtown (Omonoia if you are connoisseurs!). Best description would be petrified old loaf of bread with a thorny exterior! 😂 It did get better once wet but as a child it was torture! 😅 As an adult I can’t wash without it and when I travel back home I always buy some new ones and also my son have me send him some to Canada! I blindly just went on and bought this Korean/Italian wash cloth too! I can’t wait to try it! ☺️
Please update us on how the new exfoliating towel from Amazon works compared to you 'old school' way. I am genuinely curious for a comparison, especially from someone who understands the 'older' way. I am afraid to change from my older ways but if someone else said, "yes dear, it is similar, or even says we'll it is not quite as good but because it is gentler it could be used more often and with more ease...." Then I would try it. I also have insanely dry and peeling skin as well.... So that may be the biggest reason I am afraid to change my routine! Even when I use a lotion it create a micro exfoliating effect and skin looks just like the video! But not during the first day or two after using the heavy duty exfoliators, the thorny loofah thing similar to what you describe and also a rock that is similar to what many people use on their feet, but even MORE serious! Both of these were used on me by my Mum and my grandmother's as a child.... I also dry brush every three or four days, I started with a regular back brush and found it much too soft, now I use a double sided military style brush... It has a softer side and a very stiff side... I also have one just for my scalp now because it does such a thorough job! Sorry to go on and on. Like I said, I am just curious for another opinion, especially from a person who has used similar 'scrubbies'. Have a wonderful day.
Im north african and weve been using those for ages, the exfoliating effect is increased in the hammams, public baths with steam to open up the pores and make the dead skin cells come out easier
Do you scrub yourself in the public bath? Isn't it embarrassing to make a big skin mess like that???? I want to know the manners because i want to go to a public bath one day
@@kageoashj2912 it depends on the public bath really, theres very fancy ones (and expensive) that have separate compartments, but the ones I usually go to are like one big room, the steam comes out from the centre, sometimes they add eucalyptus and different herbs to it so that activates your blood vessels. And then all around the walls that are around, there's small water fountains with hot and cold water, they are one next to the other, but since it's never too crowded you can usually grab a spot for yourself without people bothering you or anything, like people around might see your dead skin cells but we see it as normal and not gross, as long as you make sure the residue doesn't go to someone else's spot
haaa when all the moms and aunties went to the hammams together they were always talking about a lot of things and scrubbing their kids omg the memories-
Dr. Youn, you are so adorable!!! I remember my mother making me scrub her back with the long korean scrub cloth rolled up. As an adult I use it on my own skin and face. Thanks to my half Korean genes, I do not look my age. :)
I’m Korean and as a child, that thing hurt me so bad but as I grew up and now I’m 28, I still do it once every week. I used to not exfoliate my body and just used the shower towel because somewhere on youtube said it’s just going to make my skin sensitive and irritating. I started using this Korean washcloth again after I started having several small back&chest acne and my acnes are almost all gone now. It works like a charm for me😂. I don’t know if anyone is interested in using that but here are some tips. The right way to do it: 1. Take a bath for at least 20 minutes.(with or w/o bath bomb, doesn’t matter) This helps your skin to soak up and better for exfoliating with the cloth. 2. Make sure you have teeny tiny bit of SOLID soap on the washcloth. (No body wash or pumping hand soap… Dove solid soap works the best) 3. Gently rub it on your skin but too much soap will just place the soap on your skin so make sure to just dab it. You will notice all those stuff comes out a lot more from your armpit, uderarm, cleavage area, and any part of the body that folds, like your legs or arms. If you have just enough of the soap and rub it, you’ll see the dark nasty colored soap on your washcloth😂 4. Clean it up using loofah and moisturizing body wash. For the area that you can’t reach like the back, use one of those long shower towels. Make sure to use tons of moisturizing lotion afterwards because you’ll have redness and itchiness especially on the area where your skin is thinner.
I usually just use force with my hand and achieve friction, once that starts to happen to can happen easily all over anywhere, where its dirty/dead skin, more dead skin = more friction = more dead skin cells
In Moroccan hamams there are these old ladies that scrub your skin with this and loads of traditional black soap. You will be glowing like a new born right after 🤣
My Korean family has been doing this for YEARS. My great grandma used a cloth on my grandma, my grandma used to do it on my mom, and my grandma would do it to me and my sisters. It’s kind of weird people are just finding out about this. I’ve also heard that other cultures have been doing it for a long time as well. It’s nice because it makes me feel clean but oh my god, when my grandma used to do it, it hurt so bad but I was clean.
@@coolman72891 it is nothing like loofahs or exfoliating soaps. They are rougher but they actually get the job done. You can find them in the home goods section of H Mart (Korean grocery chain) or Amazon.
Arabs use that to bathe, in Hammams and stuff, we literally have like 5 in every household lol, it's super clean, of course we also use soap then shower gel afterwards, but it cleans better for sure haha!
In Morocco we use this as well but we use before it a specific soap it's called "صابون بلدي" and it means traditional soap , to prepare our skin for the pealing and believe me it doesn't irritate our skin at all
We use this in Turkey. We call it kese. It's used in all hamams. And some people use it during baths or showers. Apparently they call it kassa in NA. I never knew Koreans used it and it was called the Korean washcloth lmao
@Fatana Olomi I live in the US and asked my father in law to bring some from Afghanistan. Oh and plus Jawghoza and zarafran basically things you can't find easily in America.
I had to get these because my towels I use to dry off we’re NOT that soft so dead skin would always appear. I got some of the Loren towels for like 5 bucks on Amazon and they worked so well! 10/10 recommend! 😌
I bought the specific ones from the video off Amazon. I think it was a 20 pack for $10 USD. I have found that my oily/acne prone body has reacted well and even loves it. I use it up to, but not more than 3x weekly
When I was young Saturday was a big housecleaning and kids bath day our mother wound scrub our little bodies with fist sized rough pebble stone and rub our skin we would cry in pain .This was in the Philippines.
We in Morocco🇲🇦, we have so much kinds of stuff we use to wash our skin, they're even very cheap and very very effective more than those ones in the video cause we used them for about +200 years. Let me give you some of their names "lkiss", "sabon lbeldi", "sabon d lhjra", "lghassoul" And there's so much more☺️😉
My mom used to use her fingernails to do this, her nails were really sharp and long, so it would sometimes even leave cuts on us/bruises. It was fucking hell dude.
He talked about it I'm one of his recent videos, describing it in a favorable light so I would say he would. But of course we would like to hear him talk about it in more detail
There is a Korean bathhouse in my hometown. You could pay for someone to scrub the daylights outta you with one of these, but first you had to soak in their hottest tub. And of course, all of this was naked. I was never brave enough to get scrubbed, but I did buy a cloth myself and yeah it really scrubs the dead skin off!
@@benyoucef9774 No, this was Korean, not Turkish. It was owned and operated by Korean-Americans and everything was written in Hangul and English. It is called jjimjilbang in English.
I live in Finland and it's the norm to exfoliate like this in the Sauna, I just do it with my fingers. Dead skin comes off so easily in a Sauna that's at least 80 °C 👍
@@pariss2416 sometimes it doesn't come off so easily if I go to a sauna after a while but it will come off if I do it again, so maybe it's something like that?
You can find this in any Korean persons house especially mine my whole family is actually Korean but yeah it’s basically to rub off all of your dirt and dead skin that’s been crusted on and makes your skin smooth as hell i have to warn you though it feels like sand paper so if your have sensitive skin I wouldn’t recommend it
Yea I bought it on Amazon and tried it on dry skin it doesn’t work but on damp it works great fun fact I had no idea I had sensitive skin so I thought it was normal to have red rashes and red skin afterwards until I found out I have sensitive skin I want to try dry brushing now or I saw that they sell a sponge that removes dead skin on yes style the same way the Korean cloth does and I wanna try it.
Lucky it was a cloth for you. For my place in India it was dried coconut fiber or there was this Cacao nut like cotton seed. Mom dips you in coconut oil from head to toe and applies something called as Thali ( it's made out of hibiscus flowers and leafs) then start scrubbing from head to toe. You will feel like you are marinated for a bbq session. Pure torture 🥲. Anyways it's good for skin 😁
y'all get freaked out when your skin rubs off like that with your hands in the shower but for me, I always think "oh, I didn't scrub hard enough" lmaoo
I don't get freaked out. If anything, I am like 'oh eww' since I get a lot of dead skin and rash if I don't Scrub at least once a week. It just absolutely makes me feel better.
Same! I had to stop using white wash cloth, because my brain thinks I'm still seeing dirt (dead skin) coming off. I've literally hurt myself like that before. With a colored cloth I can't claim to see more coming off. I've said to my mom before that it would feel so good to clean with steel wool! The skin would either be really smooth, or gone! So yea, super clean
In tagalog, we call that skin that shed off as "Libag" and in Pangasinan "kagit". Meaning you haven't really went in and scrubbed harder enough to remove dirt from ur skin 😆✌
Flashback to painful bathtime memories with mom and aunts, at home or the local bath sauna. I remember seeing my 9 & 10 yr old brothers splayed on the bathroom floor whining while they got tag teamed exfoliated by our mom and aunt. One of the funniest things I've ever seen. Pretty sure that was the last time they ever did that to them.
This is actually traditional to Iran we actually use it till these days it removes dead skin cause of it really hard surface And it comes with an special soap To make it more rough

Hahaha Ikr And the feeling of the water running on the skin after that... Heaven. 😍
I want to take a shower now. 😔
In my house we used a loofah but not the soft-cute one you find on supermarket shelves. Not even the fancy expensive ones you get at the ‘organic’ stores. It was a dry loofah bought at some herbs&spices hidden oooold store in Athens downtown (Omonoia if you are connoisseurs!). Best description would be petrified old loaf of bread with a thorny exterior! 😂 It did get better once wet but as a child it was torture! 😅 As an adult I can’t wash without it and when I travel back home I always buy some new ones and also my son have me send him some to Canada! I blindly just went on and bought this Korean/Italian wash cloth too! I can’t wait to try it! ☺️
You are telling about that rough one right. When I was a kid my mom was scrubbing my body with that thing.
Please update us on how the new exfoliating towel from Amazon works compared to you 'old school' way. I am genuinely curious for a comparison, especially from someone who understands the 'older' way. I am afraid to change from my older ways but if someone else said, "yes dear, it is similar, or even says we'll it is not quite as good but because it is gentler it could be used more often and with more ease...." Then I would try it. I also have insanely dry and peeling skin as well.... So that may be the biggest reason I am afraid to change my routine! Even when I use a lotion it create a micro exfoliating effect and skin looks just like the video! But not during the first day or two after using the heavy duty exfoliators, the thorny loofah thing similar to what you describe and also a rock that is similar to what many people use on their feet, but even MORE serious! Both of these were used on me by my Mum and my grandmother's as a child.... I also dry brush every three or four days, I started with a regular back brush and found it much too soft, now I use a double sided military style brush... It has a softer side and a very stiff side... I also have one just for my scalp now because it does such a thorough job!
Sorry to go on and on. Like I said, I am just curious for another opinion, especially from a person who has used similar 'scrubbies'.
Have a wonderful day.
Those are natural loofahs (luffa), which are a plant. They're actually a type of cucumber!
Im north african and weve been using those for ages, the exfoliating effect is increased in the hammams, public baths with steam to open up the pores and make the dead skin cells come out easier
Do you scrub yourself in the public bath? Isn't it embarrassing to make a big skin mess like that???? I want to know the manners because i want to go to a public bath one day
@@kageoashj2912 it depends on the public bath really, theres very fancy ones (and expensive) that have separate compartments, but the ones I usually go to are like one big room, the steam comes out from the centre, sometimes they add eucalyptus and different herbs to it so that activates your blood vessels. And then all around the walls that are around, there's small water fountains with hot and cold water, they are one next to the other, but since it's never too crowded you can usually grab a spot for yourself without people bothering you or anything, like people around might see your dead skin cells but we see it as normal and not gross, as long as you make sure the residue doesn't go to someone else's spot
haaa when all the moms and aunties went to the hammams together they were always talking about a lot of things and scrubbing their kids omg the memories-
@@yasma2012 aaah I see, and you rinse it all down the drain after right?
Water doesnt smoke
I’m from west Africa guinea 🇬🇳 but was Born a raised in Morocco 🇲🇦 we used this every Sunday at the hammame “ sunna bath” works wonders on ur skin 😉🤩
Yess 👍
Yeah first thing I thought of when I saw the video, I'm moroccan too
Now it's korean lol how 😂😂
Is this like bleaching ur skin?
What's the product's name???
Anthony Youn makes me giggle, he has great humour 😁
Dr. Youn, you are so adorable!!! I remember my mother making me scrub her back with the long korean scrub cloth rolled up. As an adult I use it on my own skin and face.
Thanks to my half Korean genes, I do not look my age. :)
I think Koreans are gorgeous!!
Well, Asians don't Raisin :)
I've always used "wash rags" as a kid, but I would love to try this version. I always found the more abrasive towels nicer to clean your body with.
I think you’re only supposed to do it like 1-2 times a week, because it’s a exfoliating tool not a regular wash cloth
6$ on amazon
Try bath gloves
I got mixed message did he like it or not. One point he is smiling the next does the gesture to kill it. I am lost. LOL
He definitely needs to chat with us about it!
He definitely likes it haha. He said "so good" at the end. The "kill it" gesture was just to show a rubbing motion.
@@jennagan15 thank you so much.
I’m Korean and as a child, that thing hurt me so bad but as I grew up and now I’m 28, I still do it once every week. I used to not exfoliate my body and just used the shower towel because somewhere on youtube said it’s just going to make my skin sensitive and irritating. I started using this Korean washcloth again after I started having several small back&chest acne and my acnes are almost all gone now. It works like a charm for me😂. I don’t know if anyone is interested in using that but here are some tips.
The right way to do it: 1. Take a bath for at least 20 minutes.(with or w/o bath bomb, doesn’t matter) This helps your skin to soak up and better for exfoliating with the cloth.
2. Make sure you have teeny tiny bit of SOLID soap on the washcloth. (No body wash or pumping hand soap… Dove solid soap works the best)
3. Gently rub it on your skin but too much soap will just place the soap on your skin so make sure to just dab it.
You will notice all those stuff comes out a lot more from your armpit, uderarm, cleavage area, and any part of the body that folds, like your legs or arms. If you have just enough of the soap and rub it, you’ll see the dark nasty colored soap on your washcloth😂
4. Clean it up using loofah and moisturizing body wash. For the area that you can’t reach like the back, use one of those long shower towels.
Make sure to use tons of moisturizing lotion afterwards because you’ll have redness and itchiness especially on the area where your skin is thinner.
I usually just use force with my hand and achieve friction, once that starts to happen to can happen easily all over anywhere, where its dirty/dead skin, more dead skin = more friction = more dead skin cells
I do that too but since I’m bright I have temporal red marks from it 😂
I recommend using a wash cloth with body wash in the shower
@@SmellsLikeShmeat you have to make sure you soak in the water for about 10 minutes to soften the skin
Same
@@Hide-xm6xh oh same like in the shower i would just rub my thumb up and down my arm then it exfoliates and then turns red after a while
In Moroccan hamams there are these old ladies that scrub your skin with this and loads of traditional black soap. You will be glowing like a new born right after 🤣
This I gotta try
Its Turkish
My Korean family has been doing this for YEARS. My great grandma used a cloth on my grandma, my grandma used to do it on my mom, and my grandma would do it to me and my sisters. It’s kind of weird people are just finding out about this. I’ve also heard that other cultures have been doing it for a long time as well. It’s nice because it makes me feel clean but oh my god, when my grandma used to do it, it hurt so bad but I was clean.
I've been using loofahs and exfoliating soaps for years is it like that or more rough? And if I wanted to buy some what brands do you recommend?
@@coolman72891 it is nothing like loofahs or exfoliating soaps. They are rougher but they actually get the job done. You can find them in the home goods section of H Mart (Korean grocery chain) or Amazon.
What’s the name of the towel?
@@jenhover the Italy towel.
Lmao princess hendery made me experience a level of chaos I'd never seen before
As a Moroccan that is traditional thing lmao it's like nothing
Arabs use that to bathe, in Hammams and stuff, we literally have like 5 in every household lol, it's super clean, of course we also use soap then shower gel afterwards, but it cleans better for sure haha!
Arabs ?? Which country
My family has a rock. The ones u find in river banks. We've used it for like 19 years. Pretty sure it's a heirloom
😭😭✋🏽✋🏽
this is so interesting!
Same here! Almost 15years with that rock 👍😅
same lmao 😂
@@vanillac0ffeebean they actually do this and some countries its actually traditional to use rocks and I honestly don’t see anything wrong with it 🥱👍🏼
In Morocco we use this as well but we use before it a specific soap it's called "صابون بلدي" and it means traditional soap , to prepare our skin for the pealing and believe me it doesn't irritate our skin at all
Wikipedia said, this one were invented by moroccan in Busan, Korea.
It's so satisfying as a moroccan, to see amoroccan weekly ritual, becoming a trend 😂😂😂. All moroccans do this in the "hammam" every week.
As a Russian I used to cry everytime I would have to use it
North Africans use the same thing - I’m assuming this is a traditional bathing technique in many places
yeah
Coming from a Moroccan -
yes
We use it in Algeria
It was such a pain in childhood but now I cannot not to use it hhhh
Using it in Tunisia.
We use this in Turkey. We call it kese. It's used in all hamams. And some people use it during baths or showers. Apparently they call it kassa in NA. I never knew Koreans used it and it was called the Korean washcloth lmao
Afghans use this as well, it is called Keysa!
nope we also call it kese in na
Morrocans too
exactly the sale in tunisia, i think wi took it from you culture
@Fatana Olomi I live in the US and asked my father in law to bring some from Afghanistan. Oh and plus Jawghoza and zarafran basically things you can't find easily in America.
I had to get these because my towels I use to dry off we’re NOT that soft so dead skin would always appear. I got some of the Loren towels for like 5 bucks on Amazon and they worked so well! 10/10 recommend! 😌
do you use it on your face?
@@sckmindfrud no it can damage your skin
I bought the specific ones from the video off Amazon. I think it was a 20 pack for $10 USD. I have found that my oily/acne prone body has reacted well and even loves it. I use it up to, but not more than 3x weekly
We've been using this since we were born : Algerian, Moroccan, Tunisian...and other countries
Weird flex but okay
When I was young Saturday was a big housecleaning and kids bath day our mother wound scrub our little bodies with fist sized rough pebble stone and rub our skin we would cry in pain .This was in the Philippines.
“I felt like a shedding reptile”
Well you don’t hear that every day do ya.
How many times u take a 🚿 once a week and ur skin would look like that !!!
I thought it was normal
@@j33harbisonNoo that’s not okay, for hair, yes. Not your body
We in Morocco🇲🇦, we have so much kinds of stuff we use to wash our skin, they're even very cheap and very very effective more than those ones in the video cause we used them for about +200 years. Let me give you some of their names
"lkiss", "sabon lbeldi", "sabon d lhjra", "lghassoul"
And there's so much more☺️😉
Can't go to the Hammam without this (except lghassoul I go to the men's hammam so :) )
Almost every household has this in The Netherlands too
My mom used to use her fingernails to do this, her nails were really sharp and long, so it would sometimes even leave cuts on us/bruises. It was fucking hell dude.
Sounds like abuse 😳
Dr Anthony would you recommend this Korean wash cloth?
He talked about it I'm one of his recent videos, describing it in a favorable light so I would say he would. But of course we would like to hear him talk about it in more detail
I wonder if it would help with acne...Unfortunately (for me), I have terribly acne prone skin!
@@jellysharkbat I don’t think it would
@@jellysharkbat maybe once your face is all clear or it has minimal acne
@@jellysharkbat you need a mild exfoliator with fruit acids.
There is a Korean bathhouse in my hometown. You could pay for someone to scrub the daylights outta you with one of these, but first you had to soak in their hottest tub. And of course, all of this was naked. I was never brave enough to get scrubbed, but I did buy a cloth myself and yeah it really scrubs the dead skin off!
It's called a hamam steam bath in English.
@@benyoucef9774 No, this was Korean, not Turkish. It was owned and operated by Korean-Americans and everything was written in Hangul and English. It is called jjimjilbang in English.
I live in Finland and it's the norm to exfoliate like this in the Sauna, I just do it with my fingers. Dead skin comes off so easily in a Sauna that's at least 80 °C 👍
Thats a good idea. I took a hot bath and made my bathroom steamy but still not a whole lot of skin came off. Maybe it wasnt hot enough
@@pariss2416 sometimes it doesn't come off so easily if I go to a sauna after a while but it will come off if I do it again, so maybe it's something like that?
Wait y’all don’t do this? I remember my grandma scolding me on how dirty I looked lmao
And then once a month, go to a professional at the Korean Spa. The best squeaky clean feeling in the world
I love Dr. Youn’s facial expressions! 😂😊
It's actually not just a Korean thing, most East Asian kids grew up with this!
also the moroccans and Algerians 💛❤️
You can find this in any Korean persons house especially mine my whole family is actually Korean but yeah it’s basically to rub off all of your dirt and dead skin that’s been crusted on and makes your skin smooth as hell i have to warn you though it feels like sand paper so if your have sensitive skin I wouldn’t recommend it
Yea I bought it on Amazon and tried it on dry skin it doesn’t work but on damp it works great fun fact I had no idea I had sensitive skin so I thought it was normal to have red rashes and red skin afterwards until I found out I have sensitive skin I want to try dry brushing now or I saw that they sell a sponge that removes dead skin on yes style the same way the Korean cloth does and I wanna try it.
Lucky it was a cloth for you. For my place in India it was dried coconut fiber or there was this Cacao nut like cotton seed. Mom dips you in coconut oil from head to toe and applies something called as Thali ( it's made out of hibiscus flowers and leafs) then start scrubbing from head to toe. You will feel like you are marinated for a bbq session. Pure torture 🥲. Anyways it's good for skin 😁
Me scrolling the comments to find a link to the towel 👩🏾💻...when I live 20 minutes from the best Korean shop everrrrrrr....
Samee🤣🤣🤣
Look up on Google "green korean exfoliating towel" it's the first thing
Literally the first thing I did
Amazon has them for 3.65.
You can literally use any piece of cloth for this
Haha, my skin falls off normally.
*I have atopic dermatitis.*
Same here. Just the towel already makes that on the skin 😅
Same
My Mom used to wash us like that
Dude we went from Yellow to Red in 5 minutes 😂😂😂😂
I've been trying to find one so thanks for listing it as Korean Wash Cloth...🤗
We do this every bath in Algeria 🇩🇿 it's a part of our traditions 🇩🇿🇰🇷💞

6$ on amazon for 3 I think
@@dragonartgroup6982 oooh really
@@lesleybiegel4691 yes and using them is so satisfying we use them once a week and before the spa or massage
As a Persian kid my mum used this on me and it hurt like HELL
y'all get freaked out when your skin rubs off like that with your hands in the shower but for me, I always think "oh, I didn't scrub hard enough" lmaoo
I don't get freaked out. If anything, I am like 'oh eww' since I get a lot of dead skin and rash if I don't Scrub at least once a week. It just absolutely makes me feel better.
Same! I had to stop using white wash cloth, because my brain thinks I'm still seeing dirt (dead skin) coming off. I've literally hurt myself like that before.
With a colored cloth I can't claim to see more coming off.
I've said to my mom before that it would feel so good to clean with steel wool! The skin would either be really smooth, or gone! So yea, super clean
When I was younger I thought I was allergic to something because I freaked out when I saw my skin coming off 😂
This whole time I was hurting myself just to get the dead skin off my body 👁👄👁
Bro, he needs to be my next plastic surgeon.
The only issue is it is so exhausting! I could just keep going and going but my arms get so sore
I usually just use my palm to scrub real hard to get rid of the dead stuff, gives me a great workout in the shower lol.
In tagalog, we call that skin that shed off as "Libag" and in Pangasinan "kagit". Meaning you haven't really went in and scrubbed harder enough to remove dirt from ur skin 😆✌
omg yes!!!!
you know, i love korean stuffs UvU
That is so satisfying! I need this. Some people actually keep a dry brush in their bathroom to do the same thing
The Dr.’s expressions are hilarious to me. He knows you can get this at Walmart as gloves. 😎
I don't think they're the same as exfoliating gloves, tho 🤔
My mother used this on me when I was a child I remember I would cry thinking it was torture now I'm old and love it feels good,
I remember an aunt of mine used a large polished pebble.
Get a scrub at a Korean spa! They use those but also provide you with the right things to prep your body before they scrub you! It’s amazing!
😭I thought it was only me that had that coming out when they shower
Flashback to painful bathtime memories with mom and aunts, at home or the local bath sauna. I remember seeing my 9 & 10 yr old brothers splayed on the bathroom floor whining while they got tag teamed exfoliated by our mom and aunt. One of the funniest things I've ever seen. Pretty sure that was the last time they ever did that to them.
yea bro really funny , kids getting their skin rashed and abused
My mom didn't do this. Now I feel neglected 😜
That tiktok made me buy??
The power of social media haha
I love this doc
My mom told me these were worms and will kill me if I didn't take a shower and rub my skin like this 😭😭
when i was younger my mum always made me scrub my body with a towel when i was in the shower, kinda shocked to know not everyone does 😳😳
Those towels are awesome!
This is actually traditional to Iran we actually use it till these days it removes dead skin cause of it really hard surface
And it comes with an special soap
To make it more rough
I have these towels and love them! Don't forget to SOAK your body first! 😁
