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.

    I would use it to scrub my face, clean pots and pans (sponges smell bad in just a day!), clean my veges, rub down my dog (I bet it would work well gathering her loose fur), to clean spots on my carpet that are extra stubborn, to smooth my heals for the upcoming sandal season, I bet rubbing my fingers with it would help keep my cuticles in shape and stimulate nail growth and when it was completely spent (I’d have to check) but I bet since it’s plant based it could go in my compost or be disposed of as biodegradable! I’m sure if you give me minute I could think of other uses too!

    I’m very careful about what I use on my face so I would reserve judgment on that until I actually see and feel the product. I think I would use it first on those spots like my knees, elbows, calves and feet to see how it works at keeping them exfoliated and smooth.

    I need two, one for exfoliating in the shower or tub and the other for the kitchen. I would be scrubbing the root vegetables I get from my garden.

    I’d use this all over like I’d use a loofah or bath sponge.

    Summer’s coming, so when I need to wax my legs, I’ll use this to ensure that I don’t get any ingrown hairs. I love that it stimulates circulation.

    I’d probably use it as a face exfoliator, but I like the idea of scrubbing my veggies!

    I love this very much. It really works for me. I love the fact that it is machine washable.

    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!
