14 Exfoliating Gloves That Make Sloughing Your Skin Less of a Chore

This exfoliating glove from Baudelaire wins top honors because it banishes dry, flaky skin and leaves skin feeling super soft and smooth.

If you’re looking for serious exfoliating, then look no further than these thick, textured gloves from Earth Therapeutics.

Exfoliating on sensitive skin can be tricky because, by definition, sensitive skin is easily irritated. But it's not an impossibility so long as you use the right tools. This exfoliating glove is great for sensitive skin because it's gentle and not overly abrasive. Plus, you can easily control the level of pressure at all times. Many say a light touch is all you need to banish dead skin.

Take your skincare routine to the next level with the addition of this dual-sided cleansing and exfoliating facial mitt. Trust us, you won’t believe how clean and smooth your face feels after just one use.

Prone to ingrown hairs? This is the exfoliating glove you should reach for. The unique fabric texture helps reduce ingrown hairs and the clogged pores that make them more likely to occur. Another plus? You’ll be amazed to see all the dead skin roll off your body. A bit gross, sure, but satisfying in its own way.

Another perk: They stretch to fit most hands and the snug wristbands help them stay in place. Share a pair or two with loved ones or keep them all for yourself—we're not judging.

The reviews are in: This silicone exfoliating glove is a winner. Fans can’t stop talking about the soft, gentle bristles and the range of colors to choose from.

Trying a self-tanner at home can be intimidating, especially your first time. Here's a pro tip: Exfoliate your skin beforehand to ensure an even application without streaks.

Follow up your exfoliating session with a hydrator like an argan or coconut oil before applying your self-tanner.

As we mentioned, exfoliating before you apply self-tanner is essential for smooth, even application. This mitt feels soft to the touch but still has enough grit to remove dead skin.
