A dermatologist has warned against the use of fiber made from the loofah in the shower, because it is a fertile environment for different types of microbes, especially when left after the shower in case of wetness.

Dermatologist Dr. Hani Al-Nazer pointed out that the microbes feed on these fibers and result in toxic compounds harmful to the skin leading to loss of freshness and vitality. Soap will contribute to the elimination of anything from dust and dead skin, as well as not to cause sensitivity to the body, warning of soap that contains disinfectants.
