Influencer reveals the truth about how loofahs are made and the internet is losing it: ‘Mind blown’

Ah, loofahs – those mysterious things we use to exfoliate the bejeezus out of our skin, but no one actually knows what they are.

For some reason, it’s been etched into our collective minds that the “all-natural” loofahs were some kind of sea sponge or coral. 

After all, their rough, sponge-like texture could easily be mistaken for something oceanic, but this is actually far from the truth.

Their origin is actually much closer to home than you think, and it’s blowing the internet’s mind as they’re finding out. 

They’re actually from cucumber-like vegetables

Taking to her Instagram page, British influencer @clemmie_telford explained that she only just found out what the beauty tool is made from.

The influencer stitched a TikTok clip from gardening creator @allotmen4life, showing a woman picking up a cucumber-like vegetable.
