Which is better, a loofa, sponge or wash cloth when in the shower?
As an esthetician I can tell you that none are bad, but not really optimal on a daily basis. However, if you like any/all of those tools, I agree with the person above who mentioned that once/use is optimal & wash/soak the implement after each use in hot water/soap.
The problem comes when people do too much, too often & scrub their skin like they're scrubbing a frying pan. The reverse issue is people who do too little, then want one magical product, used once, to save their skin.
The best way & cheapest way to moisturize, cleanse & exfoliate skin at the same time is a method which takes only a few minutes extra, but feels fantastic. I do it daily, but once/wk is a must for every skin type, imho.
Dry brush (article below), then slather the skin from head face to toe with oil (coconut, grapeseed or any edible oil... baby oil is mineral oil w/fragrance & mineral oil is drying to the skin, so use edible oils only... olive is great, but very thick, so you can also mix a blend of oils in a dispenser), then take your normal shower with whichever mild soap you normally use (no cloth, loofa or sponge needed). When finished, your skin feels like silk & the bonus is, you don't need pricey body moisturizers, most of which are not effective & loaded with chemicals.
The face can be cleansed/exfoliated/moisturized the same way. For women, taking off makeup first with coconut oil is fast, easy, effective & inexpensive.

I'm sure some of the below products are lovely, but using kitchen oil is far cheaper & fragrance can be used after shower/bath:

There's more, but that's a start. Try it once & see how you like it. At very least, if you don't have a brush for dry brushing (I find equestrian brushes are soft, cheap & effective), do the other 2 steps... slather head to toe with oil, then shower. Let me know how it works for you.3 -

If the food industry was able to grow, genetically modified cow parts in a lab, grown from a clone of a clone of a cow part...
But it contained 0 calories and had double the protein...
Would you eat it?
Would it be vegan? 🤔1 -

Thank you for the info, I will definitely look into it. I've never heard of dry brushing your skin before.
What about those body bath washes with the apricot bits in them to exfoliate the skin
(not the face ones)
YW. Even if you don't dry brush, if you moisturize with oil first, then take a shower/bath with soap (far less chemicals than body washes), your skin will be better for it.
Use exfoliation washes if you want, but dry brushing is free & only takes 1-1/2 min. Also, if you want deeper exfoliation & want to skip brushing, mix sugar with oil in a cup before spreading it on skin... but, do it quickly as it will dissolve... then step into the shower. It's very mild, so doesn't scratch the skin. Washes with crushed apricot seed remnants can scratch the skin. Sugar is low cost, as well.
Spas charge hundreds of dollars for sugaring. Try it once. You won't stop... promise.0 -

Now that would be cool, but I already have 4
So I guess it would be a 5th eye, for you and I? 🤔

Bcaa= branch chain amino acids. The idea behind them is they are making of more complex protein, and body is supposed to absorb faster, allowing one to have the building block to create more muscle.
Are they important? Sure, but not going to matter if you supplement bcaas or not. As long as you are getting plenty of protein. Whey protein would be higher on important supplements but you will do fine without that too.1 -

I've never tried it but I don't see why not. Who says ketchup or mustard belong there. I put mayo on hamburgers so why not a hotdog. I think you should make a taste test video while eating a mayo hotdog
This sounds like a splendid idea. But I dont eat hotdogs. They make me ill. Now my other sandwiches...love me some mayo.0 -
