How do you exfoliate?

with at home products.How do you exfoliate?
One of the best (and easiest) recipes I tried was the extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and sugar scrub. Olive oil works as well, but extra virgin works better.





3 tbs of EVOO


1/2 cup of sugar


2 tbs of honey or aloe vera





1. Mix the EVOO and honey/aloe into the sugar. If the paste is too sticky, add water until it becomes spreadable.


2. Apply to face, leave on for about 5 minutes.


3. Gently rub your face with your hands when washing, using the sugar to exfoliate. Your skin should be extremely soft and moisturized.





If you have acne, the aspirin mask works great! Simply get 2~3 (not too much) tablets of uncoated aspirin, drop in a few drops of water until it dissolves and crush it with your finger to form a paste. Spread the mask onto your face and leave it on for about 10 minutes. Exfoliate when you wash the mask off.





Hope that helps!How do you exfoliate?
This is a good recipe and it works naturally and its the best I have ever used!





Orange peel - half orange


Almonds - a few


Plain yogurt - few table spoons


rose water - 1 tablespoon


honey - 2 teaspoons


Lemon juice - few squirts





Mix all of those in the grinder/blender just enough of make a paste and apply to your face once daily =)
how? apply a generous amount onto hands. and put on face. gently make circles onto the exfoliator onto your face so that it produces a foaming reaction. once all surfaces of your face is covered, let sit for a couple seconds, and rinse off. pat face dry. apply moisturizer.
You need 2 Tbsp. ground oats, 2 tsp. brown sugar, 2 Tbsp. aloe vera and 1 tsp. lemon juice. Mix it all together thoroughly, gently massage it onto your skin and rinse it off.
I use St Johns apricot scrub.
