Korean Italy exfoliating cloths - life changing

Just wanted to give you all a heads up. They are UNREAL. Use them after soaking in a bath and you get sooooo much great dead skin come off, you can see it all in the bottom of the bath afterwards! especially great for places you don't usually exfoliate like bum/ back of legs/ back. 4.99 on amazon, highly recommended!

Also I suffer from KP on my upper arms but these cloths combined with Ameliorite AHA lotion has almost got rid of it. (I'm not a sales rep by the way, I saw both recommended on here!)

They solved my KP on the first occasion I used them abut 3 years ago! It's never come back.

FleurNancy · 27/06/2020 20:21

I love these cloths. They work miracles on my upper arms and the backs of my legs.

Benzer01 · 27/06/2020 20:23

MrD, do you have a link? Can't seem to find them....

cicatrix1 · 27/06/2020 20:41

I love these clothes also,first heard about them here.
I have quite a big hand but when wet they strech okay.

Placemarking for a link

SwelteringInTheHeat · 27/06/2020 20:51

I've just put in an order based not he reviews.

ilovewinterpansies · 27/06/2020 20:53

@SwelteringInTheHeat me too! I have had them before but don't know where they got to. They're super scrubby and really good. Not for your face but great for everywhere else.

MrDarcysMa · 28/06/2020 10:49

Sorry everyone I got waylaid, yes @SwelteringInTheHeat posted the correct link. lots of sellers on amazon but as long as they're the Korea italy green ones.

make sure you soak in the bath for about half an hour first, then scrub your bum cheeks, you won't believe what comes off !

I'm looking forward to it! Mine have been dispatched and should come tomorrow! I'm not sure I'm ready for this, mind you...

How different are they to normal exfoliating gloves?

Gunpowder · 28/06/2020 20:30

Ooh I’ve ordered some too (Such a sheep!)

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 28/06/2020 20:33

We don’t have a bath, would a longish shower work as well?!

emsyj37 · 28/06/2020 20:37

@MrsRexVandeKamp they are in no remote way comparable to exfoliating gloves. A WORLD apart. Korean Italy towels are, indeed, life-changing. Throw away the exfoliating gloves and get the real deal.

whenwillthemadnessend · 28/06/2020 20:38

Think I may have got last one from that link. Lol

bestbefore · 28/06/2020 20:44

What's KP?

Yes. I just shower as normal, wash/condition hair etc. then use them, so my skin has had water running over it for a while, but not soaked for 20 minutes. Don't stand under the shower while using it, so your skin is damp but not dripping.
weareyoung · 28/06/2020 21:18

I'm going to go against the grain here and say that I was totally underwhelmed by them.

They shrink in water Hmm And I get far better results with an argon oil body scrub I bought on impulse in Waitrose for a fiver.

IDidntChoseThePondLife · 28/06/2020 21:31

I am curious, how are they different from normal scrub mitts? Looking at the reviews on Amazon some absolutely rave, but some say they are tiny and don't work. What's the secret of it do you think?

SwelteringInTheHeat · 28/06/2020 21:48

We all need to report back once we've tried them Wink
For less than £5, I'm more than willing to try and see if they work for my horrible skin.

SauvignonBlanketyBlank · 28/06/2020 21:53

I've bought some too they'll be here on Tuesday

damnthatanxiety · 28/06/2020 22:02

Why do they have such a weird name? It's not even grammatically correct. It is just odd! But I have some and yes, they are good.

Chesneyhawkes1 · 28/06/2020 22:10

Mine are arriving Tuesday!

catsmother · 28/06/2020 22:12

I've just ordered some too and hoping they're as good as most of you've found. I hate my thighs, the backs of them in particular, because of all the lumps and bumps there, and am also prone to ingrown hairs. I've tried exfoliating mitts, sugar scrubs, you name it and really haven't noticed much if any difference.

How long do they last though?

Highperbolay · 28/06/2020 22:16

How are they different to exfoliating gloves/loofahs and all that jazz? What are they made from?
