Ayate is a fiber that comes from the maguey plant, native to Mexico.
Ayate has many uses because of it’s durability, resistance to mildew, and natural origins.
Mystic Wonders, Inc., offers a 12×12 Ayate cloth that can be used wet or dry for a variety of purposes.
I love it when I discover a product that simplifies my life in some way. The Ayate cloth is one of those things!
It is great for exfoliating the skin, and can be used with or without soap for a long list of benefits:
You can even use your Ayate cloth to scrub veggies!
The cloth is long lasting, quick drying and better than a loofah. It resists mold and is machine washable. Most people rinse the cloth well after use and hang over towel bar to dry.
Useful in the kitchen and bathroom as a mar-free utility cloth.
Mystic Wonders, Inc. Ayate cloths are hand woven by artisans using pre-Columbian techniques.

It looks like an aloe Vera plant. The leaves are almost identical, right? I just hope that maguey plant can offer lots of benefits like the former.
The thought of having a ayate fiber or
Ayate cloth used to exfoliate my skin is kind of great!
Plus with the list of benefits you mentioned above like
* Revitalizes the whole body.
* Sheds impurities.
* Exfoliates dead skin cells.
* Cleanses pores.
* Stimulates circulation.
* Improves the complexion.
I am gonna give this a try!
