How to use - exfoliating body towel & wash towel

printable version


Exfoliating is the process of assisting to remove old dead skin cells from the surface of ones body. In this process, the natural beauty of your skin is allowed to "SHINE".
There are many Internet sites with technical and medical information on the exfoliating process, so we will not try to cover it in this posting. Just a word of medical caution: If your skin becomes red and/or uncomfortable, STOP your procedures and ask for competent medical advice.

Other mechanical device products that have been used are natural sponges called "Loofah" and are NOT as easy to use and do NOT form fit to the users hand and the body.
Therefore, we believe that our Body Towel and/or Wash Towel are superior products to the Loofah.

Our Body Towel and our Wash Towel are both suitable to be used in the bathtub, shower, or sauna. However, you may find that the smaller size of the Wash Towel is easier to use in the bathtub.
The main advantage of the larger Body towel is that when you are standing, it is easier to hold with two hands and work the hard to reach areas behind your back and under your feet.


However when in the bathtub, the smaller Wash towel may be draped over your toes of your foot and used to scrub and work the areas of your feet and ankles while you are relaxing in the water.


Just place the foot with the towel underneath the bare foot and press down with the bare foot onto the Wash towel and then with some force slide the bare foot over the surface of the Wash towel.

You can easily work the areas under your opposite foot, on top of your toes and under the middle and bottoms of your foot and heels.

You may also easily slide the foot with the wash towel up and around the area of your lower legs and around your ankles. When finished with one foot, simply change the towel to the other foot and repeat the scrubing on the opposite foot.

Next take the Wash towel in your hand and scrub the remainder of each leg, your knees, elbows, arms and upper body and your head, neck, face and so on.


Lie back in the water and enjoy your massage scrub.


Feel the difference !


When finished in the bathtub, you may use the Body towel to dry yourself off. If you haven't scrubed you back, just hold the Body towel with both hands and work the area of your back.

A Linen material towel absorbs a lot more water than a normal cotton towel.

When finished, be sure to stretch out or hang your wash towel and Body towel to completely dry before your next use.

If you feel a little tingle on your skin, you might try rubbing in a small amount of high quality body lotion in those areas.

Healthy Linen Products may be purchased online from our Internet Store or through Amazon.com

What is Psoriasis?


What is Psoriasis? Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease in which skin cells replicate at an extremely rapid rate. New skin cells are produced about eight times faster than normal--over several days instead of a month--but the rate at which old cells slough off is unchanged. This causes cells to build up on the skin's surface, forming thick patches, or plaques, of red sores (lesions) covered with flaky, silvery-white dead skin cells (scales).
Psoriasis is an immune-mediated, genetic disease manifesting in the skin and/or the joints. According to the National Institutes of Health, as many as 7.5 million Americans have psoriasis. In plaque psoriasis, the most common type, patches of skin called "lesions" become inflamed and are covered by silvery white scale. Psoriasis can be limited to a few lesions or can involve moderate to large areas of skin. The severity of psoriasis can vary from person to person; however, for most people, psoriasis tends to be mild. more info
A process of periodic exoliating the skin manually with a product such as our Healthy Linen Body towel is normal and healthy for your skin and should not be confused with Psoriasis.
However, if your skin is sore and red, then you should discontinue manual exfoliating and contact your medical doctor for advice. It is always better to be safe than sorry.

Exfoliating the skin .. helps to create radiant skin look


Human skin has a natural process where dead skin cells "slough off - flake". But, when the skin is oily or too dry, or as we age, the natural process may need a little help.


Routine manual exfolliation is your best method to produce that radiant skin appearance and feel.


Everyone skin is different so be careful and not be too rough and damage your skin. Skin exfoliation is an irritating process that actually, is beneficial to most skin types. However, it can be quite challenging to determine the fine line between good irritation as a result of exfoliation and aggravated, inflamed skin.
As always, play close attention and monitor the look and feel of your skin. If in doubt, stop the manual exfolliation and ask your medical doctor for advice.
When your skin is dry, then dead skin cells accumulate more quickly.
Even a small amount (layer) of dead skin cells can cause your skin to dull in appearance.
The objective of exfoliating is to remove dead cells from the skin's surface which will result in skin with a fresh healthy glow. Regular skin exfoliation over time, will increase the skin's capacity to absorb moisture, reduce fine lines and diminish acne.
First you should soften the skin in the bath, sauna or shower. Next you need to rub the skin carefully with an abrasive textured device like our Healthy Linen Individual wash towel or our larger Healthy Linen body towel.
The individual wash towel may be used while in the bath, sauna or shower and the Healthy Linen Body towel is meant to be used for additional rubbing and drying after you are finished with the wet process.
