A couple of weeks back, I wrote a story on a new exfoliating mitt getting rave reviews from TikTok for its effectiveness at removing dead skin. Not only were the TikTok videos pretty convincing, the shopper reviews were as well. In fact, one shopper called it the “best exfoliating mitt I have ever used,” while another gave it a perfect five-star rating for all the dead skin that was “sloughed away.” Naturally, it made me curious. With summer fast approaching, I thought there’s no better time to start prepping my skin for shorts season than now.

Allow me to introduce you to NERRĀ. This body care brand was inspired by Mediterranean bathhouse practices, and creates products that are both soothing and great for your skin. In fact, they have an entire Body Cleansing Ritual that features four products for “softer, smoother, and brighter skin.” Included in that ritual is the NERRĀ Exfoliating Body Glove that’s leaving users in awe over how much dead skin it removes. Plus, unlike other similar products out there, this exfoliating mitt is the “first Microbiome-Friendly certified exfoliating glove,” which means it won’t do any harm to your skin’s natural balance.

After trying the glove (and a few other products from the ritual) for myself, I can see why there’s so much hype surrounding it.

The Results

In the middle of my shower, I started with the Pre-Exfoliating Foam. I pretty much applied it just how I do with shaving cream, and the feel is exactly how you’d imagine it to be (i.e. like a foaming soap). I left it on for a bit to let the product soak into the skin (the instructions recommend leaving it on for about 15 seconds), then I took the tan NERRĀ Exfoliating Mitt and began exfoliating.

I’ve tried my share of exfoliating tools, but NERRĀ’s exfoliating mitt stood out to me for how gentle it feels on the skin. It also works super fast. I was shocked to see how much dead skin was coming off as soon as I started exfoliating. Given the rave reviews the mitt has gotten, I should’ve expected it. However, it was still surprising to actually experience it for myself. It was both gross and weirdly satisfying. Once I rinsed all the dead skin off, I was seriously amazed at how smooth my skin felt.

But here’s the bonus product you’ll want to grab if you want the smoothest, softest skin of your life (and no, I’m not exaggerating!). Applying the NERRĀ Dry Body Oil to the exfoliated areas post-shower was the icing on top. The non-greasy body oil left my arms and legs so soft and smooth for days (!), I was completely obsessed with how my skin felt. I had rough patches on my arms, but the combo of the foam, the exfoliating mitt, and the body oil removed them completely.

In short, I highly recommend testing out NERRĀ’s skin-smoothing body care products if you can. They truly are luxurious and just the perfect way to practice self-care.
