Des questions? Nous avons les réponses!
Q1: Do I really need to soak first?
A: Yes, and this is the single thing people get wrong. The hot soak softens the surface layer of skin, and that is what the glove then removes. On skin that has not softened, the glove scrapes without achieving anything and the experience is simply unpleasant.
Q2: How often should I use it?
A: Once or twice a week at most, with several days between sessions. This is a mechanical exfoliant and overuse irritates skin rather than improving it.
Q3: Can I use it on my face?
A: No. Never. The skin on the face is far thinner than on the body and this will damage it. Use a product formulated for facial use.
Q4: Is the Fine version very rough?
A: It is the gentler grade in the akasuri range. The coarse versions used in bathhouses are considerably more aggressive. Fine is the sensible place to start.
Q5: Glove or towel, which should I buy?
A: A towel lets you hold both ends and work your own back. A glove stays on your hand and gives better control on curved areas like knees and elbows. This is the glove.
Q6: How long will it last?
A: A year or more with proper care. Rinse it after each use, squeeze out the water and hang it to dry fully rather than leaving it balled up in the shower.
Q7: Who should avoid it?
A: Anyone with thin, fragile or easily broken skin, and anyone with broken, irritated or sunburnt skin. Avoid moles and blemishes.
