What is the shower flower used for?

The shower puff is used to exfoliate and cleanse the body. It replaces the washing glove. The shower puff is shaped like a flower with petals. Shower puffs are often made of poor-quality plastic, which tends to cause irritation.

The shower puff saves you money on shower gel. You don't need to use as much shower gel as you would with a cotton glove.

Drying the natural shower flower is very simple and quick.

To tackle the amount of polluting waste thrown away every day, we have discovered two alternatives to replace your plastic shower flower with a natural shower flower.

2 alternatives to remove the plastic shower flower:

Loofah : If you enjoy sponges that scrub well, you'll love loofahs. Loofahs are natural sponges that belong to the cucurbitaceae family. Loofahs are fibrous gourds that are dried to create a natural shower puff.

Shaped like a cucumber, the loofah is a fruit from the cucurbitaceae family, and it comes to us from Asia and South America. Its fiber is used to make the exfoliating loofah sponge. It is a plant-based and eco-friendly sponge. Its production and harvesting do not require chemicals. Furthermore, this natural sponge is compostable and biodegradable.

The Luffa sponge should be changed approximately every month.

Sea sponge : This is an animal caught in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean, but not just any species. The species used is Spongia Officianilis, a small member of the sea sponge family. It has an elastic skeleton that poses no danger to the skin. This sponge is absorbent and hypoallergenic, and it exfoliates the epidermis. It is also environmentally friendly, as this animal is caught in an eco-responsible manner and in small quantities. In addition, it has a great capacity for regeneration.

The sea sponge's natural enzymes prevent bacteria from building up. To kill any bacteria that may be present, you can microwave it for a few seconds.

A washable shower flower

Maintaining your natural shower flower is very simple. Before using it for the first time, it's recommended to rinse it with soapy water. Once this is done, you can use it without any problems.

At the end of each daily use of the natural shower flower, remember to always rinse it with clean water so that there is no more soap and so that its condition remains intact in order to keep it as long as possible. So yes to the washable shower flower!

You can use the natural shower puff all over your body. These two natural alternatives mentioned above (the loofah and the natural sponge) are made of natural fibers that allow for a gentle wash on your skin and thus avoid any irritation.

The DIY natural shower flower

In addition to purchasing these two alternatives, the loofah and the natural sponge, it's possible to make your own natural shower flower. To do this, you'll need to know how to crochet, or you'll need to start now, but don't panic, it's very simple. All you need is a ball of cotton yarn in the color of your choice, scissors, and a crochet hook, of course.

But if that's too complicated for you, opt directly for the natural luffa shower flower already ready to go in the shower ;) And to accompany your shower flower, have you thought about goat's milk soap ? A soap full of benefits for your skin that you will quickly adopt!
