For those who go to the Portuguese beaches, there is a situation that repeats itself frequently: the sand insists on sticking to the body even after leaving the towel. The usual solution goes through a new dive or resorting to public showers, often distant or with endless queues.
In a summer where temperatures rise and the beach trips become more regular, any tip that facilitates the car’s return routine, without taking ‘half Areal’ with you, is welcome. And in this case, the suggestion comes from social networks, specifically the Tiktok platform.
A practical solution to a recurring problem
According to a video shared by the @mafsc25 user, identified as Mafalda SC, there is a simple, fast and effective way to remove the sand from the body: to use a dry bath sponge.
The content, which already adds thousands of views, suggests that it is enough to gently pass the sponge through the skin so that the sand grains loosen almost instantly.
According to the same creator, a baby sponge was sufficient to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method. However, any soft sponge can produce the same result, he says.
The video became viral on social networks
The publication quickly generated positive reactions by users, who praised the creativity of the solution and promised to test the trick already in the next rounds to the beach.
The simplicity of the technique, coupled with the fact that it does not require water or wipes, contributed to its rapid dissemination.
Write the news to the site that this type of content is won popularity especially during the summer months, and social networks are a growing source of small advice for everyday life.

Why does this technique work?
According to skin care experts, the soft friction of a dry sponge helps to detach adherent particles without causing skin irritation.
In addition, it avoids the use of products such as talcum powder or moist wipes, which are not always advisable in sensitive skin or in more ecological environments.
Additional tips to avoid the problem
Among other strategies to reduce the amount of accumulated sand in the body, it stands out the use of slippers whenever the sand and ride is circulated, as well as the choice of tissue towels that repel sand, already available in several specialty stores.
Explains the site that the use of talcum powder, still popular in some regions, has been advised by dermatologists due to the risk of pore obstruction or allergic reactions.
Accessible solutions for a lighter summer
In a family vacation context or long weekends, having a sponge in the beach bag can make all the difference, especially for those who have young children.
This idea thus joins a set of homemade tricks that promise to make life easier for summer, at no added costs.
According to the same influencer, the sponge that used it cost less than two euros and can be reused throughout the summer.
