What Is The Purpose Of A Bath Mitt?
A bath mitt is a reusable cloth or glove designed to help cleanse and exfoliate the skin during bathing or showering.
Worn on the hand, it allows for better control and coverage while applying soap or body wash, creating a rich lather and gently removing dead skin cells.
Bath mitts can be made from various materials like cotton, bamboo, or textured yarns, and are often used as part of a self-care routine to leave the skin feeling smooth and refreshed.
They’re also eco-friendly alternatives to disposable sponges or loofahs.
