I use cinnamon powder mixed with baby cream. Take 2 tablespoons of cinnamon powder and add enough baby cream to it to make a scrub.
Wet your body and lather with baby soap using a loofah. Rinse off the soap with water and then apply the scrub on your body massaging your skin for about 2-3 minutes. Then rinse off.
Here is something interesting I found on the net about exfoliating.

One of the best things you can do to ensure the quality of your homemade exfoliators work is to make sure that you are getting enough exercise. This will help you to sweat more and increase the oxygen in your skin. This is a natural way to exfoliate your skin, and it makes the homemade exfoliators more effective. You should also make sure that you are drinking enough water every day, so that you will not become dehydrated, which will give your skin a blotchy look. This will strip the skin of natural oils and could cause more damage to your skin.

The best I've found is baking soda! With whatever regular cleanser you use, make a lather and add about a half teaspoon of baking soda. Work it into the cleanser and it will look like fine cream. Apply to your face in circular motion, then rinse with warm water. Use a moisturizer after drying. This really smooths your skin.

I've heard a lot about baking soda as a cleanser and deodorizer but not as an exfoliator. Thanks for the info. I will surely try it.

Make a paste of sea salt and baby oil and while you are in the shower scrub yourself down with it and then rinse it off without any soap. Skin is SOOOOOOOOO smooth afterwards.

Thanks rrdj71. Will surely try it out with salt and baby oil.

try to cook oatmeal and just add a little water and make a paste out of it then apply it to your face ..you can also add cows milk or honey ....apply it to your face and not putting around your eyes cause the skin is too thin...let it dry and wait for 20 to 30 minutes before washing....just try it,,, it works.... happy


myLot reputation of 94/100. acevivx (705)   ranked 802 out of 11,358 in health  10 months ago

I appreciate the input. I heard about cow's milk but not honey and I would like to see how it works.

For the body, I got a really cheap and effective one, it's extremely easy too! It's sea salt. You can check out the details of the recipe here:

I've heard about sea salt and in fact i was given some sea salt by a friend who came from a visit in Israel. It indeed worked as an exfoliator. Thanks for the response.

i have heard that turmeric is a good exfoliater.make a paste of turmeric powder with little bit of cream of milkand rub it on your body whiile bathing.it does reduce the blemishes and is also a good exfoliator.

Thanks for the information. This is something new to my ears but I guess it would be worth trying it.
