StillNKD Exfoliating Glove

StillNKD based in Swansea are brand new for 2025 and at the moment they are concentrating on one hero product before they branch out to other natural skincare products. A sensible move as they have been being kept busy for the past 3 months with the launch of their Bare Body – Silk Exfoliating Glove £18.99

 Made from 100% Silk meaning no viscose, plastic or synthetics are used and is biodegradable (although not the elastic wrist band). Crafted using a specific technique perfected over centuries, the unique weave of the silk works to effortlessly sweep away dead skin and impurities by deeply exfoliating the body.

Inspiration came from the ancient Turkish ritual of Hammam – a spa-like treatment that involves washing and scrubbing your skin to remove impurities. The glove helps remove dead skin and fake tan with ease, it also improves blood circulation and they say it reduces keratosis pilaris and psoriasis. 

The skin looks after our overall health by sweating. This helps to regulate our body temperature, remove toxins and improve our skin health by clearing out the pores of impurities.

We can aid this process by exfoliation 1-2 times a week which helps unclogs the pores and shed the build up of dead skin cells resulting in smoother looking skin.

Exfoliation also improves the effectiveness of other skincare products by allowing them to absorb more easily into your skin. This is especially important for hydrating products and sunscreen, as they work better when applied to smooth, freshly exfoliated skin.
