A shower puff is a popular shower accessory used for cleaning one's skin in the shower as an alternative to a natural sponge or luffa.[1] It is used to scrub soap into one's skin when washing, and then wash it off again afterwards. It is also used to wash dry or dead skin off.[1] Whilst popular, some dermatologists recommend against the use of a shower puff, because they can harbour bacteria, yeast, and mould.[2]
