Monfrigo Silk Exfoliating Glove: The secret to ‘buttery smooth’ skin in SECONDS

A $31.99 silk glove has wowed thousands thanks to its ability to slough off dead skin cells and leave the body ‘buttery smooth’ in a matter of seconds. 

An alternative to harsh chemical exfoliants and loofahs, the Monfrigo Silk Exfoliating Glove is inspired by the rituals of the Turkish hammam to leave your skin soft and blemish-free.

The revolutionary raw silk is gentle enough for all skin types and works in five key ways: deep cleaning, opening clogged pores, increasing blood circulation, evening skin tone and increasing product absorption into the body. 

The gloves, which are designed to be used with warm water before or during a shower up to four times a month, have been a sell-out success since launching late last year with one selling every 15 minutes. 

Sydney-based founder, Maryam Yari, first decided to give the gloves a go after struggling with harsh exfoliants on her sensitive skin.

‘There’s a huge misconception that to exfoliate we need a harsh glove to remove dead skin,’ Maryam said.

‘Growing up I would use coarse gloves that would cause my skin to irritate, it felt like I was exfoliating with a rock. 

‘As I suffered from keratosis pilaris in my teens, this method of exfoliation helped but the process was painful and I knew there had to be a better way.’

Maryam was amazed by the before and after results on herself and other women and men and was determined to launch one of her own. 

The Monfrigo gloves are made out of 100 per cent cocoon high grade raw silk, meaning the silk is not coloured or processed so it lasts longer. 

They are also 100 per cent natural with no added chemicals and are proven to be safe for all skin types, gentle on the skin and come in two different sizes for a comfortable fit.

The gloves offer 10 skin benefits including removing layers of dead skin and fake tan instantly, eliminating ingrown hairs, preventing the formation of blackheads, scars and stretch marks and assisting with collagen production and anti-ageing. 

‘My whole idea with Monfrigo is to make our customers feel confident in their own skin with effective and safe products – these gloves are the epitome of that,’ Maryam said.

Customers have raved about the gloves and five-star reviews continue to flood in.

‘This silk exfoliating glove is amazing! Feels so gentle on the skin but so effective, you literally see dead skin cells and dirt come off, even though your skin is “clean”,’ one wrote.

‘My husband uses it too, and said the same thing. I highly recommend it.’

Maryam launched Monfrigo in 2020 after travelling around Europe before the pandemic. 

The business originally launched with skin care fridges which have been a sell-out success for the beauty business.
