How Long Does a Loofah Last?

A natural loofah gourd typically lasts 3-4 weeks, while a synthetic loofah can endure up to 2-3 months with regular use. For the best exfoliating results, replace your loofah when it shows signs of wear, such as fraying or losing its texture. Using a soft loofah that maintains its exfoliating properties ensures a fresh and effective experience.
