Recently discovered Korean "Italy towels" and they have all but got rid of my keratosis pilaris and severe dry skin

I just wanted to share my event discovery. They are Korean exfoliating product called "Italy Towels" (you can find them on Amazon by searching "Korean Italy Towels" ) which are like a little exfoliating glove but miles better.
I have really terrible dry skin on my arms due to ill health and bright red keratosis pilaris.

I have used them for around a month (after a long bath), along with my regular body lotions and the difference is astonishing. My KP (which was visable from the other side of the room) is all but gone and I no longer have dry skin. The difference they have made to me is incredible, I no longer feel like I have to cover up even in heatwaves.

Just wanted to give them a shout out because they are cheap and really work.

I've just used these for the he first time and the skin on my upper arms is already noticeably smoother. I'd read that you use them after a long soak in the bath. I will definitely keep using them.

Just ordered! My KP is terrible. Can I use them after the shower and are they reusable?

KimchiLaLa · 30/06/2017 19:05

Ooh sorry just saw I asked a repeat Q

MickeyRooney · 30/06/2017 19:09

Just bought one!
Thanks OP.

lamado · 30/06/2017 19:19

They are reusable, apparently they work better after a long soak.

KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth · 30/06/2017 19:40

Yes you can reuse them, I have only just stared using my 2nd one and I think the 1st one would have lasted longer if I had aired it on the washing line.

I bought two creams for KP, one Soap and Glory and one Avene Akerat.

If only I'd used any of them regularly.

KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth · 30/06/2017 21:42

Which S&G cream did you buy CPS?

Getting some :) I find the exfoliating gloves good so these should be brilliant

DoggoslothladyA · 30/06/2017 22:15

Woopsy, have gone into my amazon basket !

Haint · 30/06/2017 22:22

I wonder if you could do it in the bath? Your routine sounds a bit lengthy but then maybe that's why I'm scaly like a lizard Hmm

KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth · 30/06/2017 23:04

Haint I tried it in the bath and the whilst some skin came off, not nearly as much came off as when I was out of the bath. I stay damp but pat away a lot of the majority and wet the mitt.
When I do it that way it literally peels off like sunburnt skin.

The soap and glory cream is called arm-a-golden.

Not sure it works as I haven't used it much.

glitterglitters · 30/06/2017 23:19

Oooooh thank you OP. heads to amazon immediately

Ginkypig · 30/06/2017 23:54

I don't have a bath Sad

I want to cry a little bit now.

StealthPolarBear · 01/07/2017 07:37

I won't be doing it in the bath, can't bear the things

MitzyLeFrouf · 01/07/2017 10:32

Oh these sound great. Thanks OP.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 01/07/2017 10:38

And they are all gone now. I was too late for the last one.

Islacornx · 01/07/2017 10:47

Definitely need to get some, the KP on my legs and arms is awful Sad

Stansmith01 · 01/07/2017 12:26

Thanks! Can't wait to try these Smile

KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth · 01/07/2017 13:48

Just reread this back after posting yesterday and realised that the lunch time glass of champagne really showed itself off. Shock

If that seller has sold out, I'm sure there are lots of other sellers out there. Just make sure the mitt has the black lines.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 01/07/2017 13:57

No, they are back in stock.

I already bought some.

we need a sheep emoticon.

EnidButton · 01/07/2017 14:15

In the 2 minutes it took me to add something else to my basket, they sold out again. Going to find some others.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 01/07/2017 14:21

ahem....

sorry.

EnidButton · 01/07/2017 14:24

I think it was after you posted there was one left. So I'll let you off.Wink
