All those moist "puffy" layers that the mesh sponge abounds in are an ideal place for all possible bacteria to live.
Because of this, your skin seems numb, you are full of pimples, and you can also get an infection of the wounds, say from shaving.
No matter how cute they seem to you, puffy, colorful and soft, the recommendation of all doctors is to get rid of them.
"When you rub the skin with a mesh sponge, all the dead cells that you removed remain trapped in it. And then when you leave such a sponge over a wet bathtub, it becomes an ideal environment for the creation of fungi, mold and the development of the bacteria responsible for conjunctivitis. And all this in just a few hours ", said dermatologist Matev Knight from Orlando.
Instead of these sponges, doctors say, it's better to stick to good old soap and a small towel that you'll use for exfoliating and rubbing your body, and then throw it in the washing machine.
And if you really can't do without sponges, then choose ones made of natural materials. And they are ideal for the development of bacteria, but not to the same extent as synthetic ones, reports Radio Sarajevo.
