Is it good to use sponge on your body

Many people use sponges or loofahs to clean themselves in the shower, but this practice may not be healthy for you.

Such loofahs and bath sponges serve as a breeding ground for harmful bacteria, which can develop and multiply in just one night.

The Knight Dermatology Institute's J. Matthew Knight, an expert, reportedly told The Sun that they can have a negative impact.

As you scrape away dead skin cells, they become trapped in the sponges' wrinkles and may damage your skin severely.

Then, he continued, "you put them in this nasty, warm, moist environment in the shower, which is a breeding ground for bacteria, yeast, and mold to grow in the puff."

The situation gets worse if you use them on freshly shaved skin.

Commonsense is to wash your loofahs and sponges after each bath. The loofah/sponge isn't the problem. The problem lies with the users who don't clean them after each use. What you have here compares to asking folks to throw away their towels or their underwear because towels and underwear can also serve as a breeding ground for harmful bacteria. undecided

You can just thoroughly rinse and wring out to dry the sponges after each use. Though I personally do not use them

Some people should know what to post on predominantly African website in my opinion...
How many blacks uses sunscreen for example?..
U can't just fetch Oyibo write ups meant for them alone and dump it here making people to be unnecessarily worried...I don't think it's applicable....

Nigerians should always learn to pen down their own knowledge and observations, because our climate is 100% different from oyibo climate

Wahala!
I shuttle living in my apartment, uncle's house and father's house and so I have 3 different sponges in order to avoid taking sponge from one place to another.. Even if takes one month for me to visit one place, I'll pick my sponge from where I left it and use it..

Now, I'm scared
