Out with the old dead skin and in with the new revitalized skin
Once I started researching for this site I was amazed at how many great exfoliants we have in our own cupboards. So much so that I've stopped buying the commercial stuff and make my own every time now. FIY exfoliate once or twice a week to get rid of dead skin cells and rejuvinate the body.
Recipe #1 For the Face:
Mix one tablespoon of sugar with a tsp of extra virgin olive oil or vegetable oil, apply gently to face in small circular motions. Use light pressure and rinse well.
Recipe #2 For the Body:
Make yourself a cup of coffee, ok you don't have to, but coffee grounds make the best exfoliant for your body, seriously. The caffeine fights cellulite and tones the skin while scrubbing off the dead skin. I take a few tbs. with me in the shower and scrub it on from neck to toe in large circular motions, paying special attention to areas like the thighs and buttocks. As an added bonus, coffee grounds help keep your drains from clogging, so go ahead and have another cup, just make sure to put those left over grains to good use!
