Anyone know any good recipes for a face exfoliant? And how many times a week should I use it? Thanks!!!

If your skin is dry and a bit flaky, try using sugar. I know it sounds crazy. Using sugar is cheap, quick and easy. Use about a teaspoon of sugar, make sure you face is moist enough for the sugar to stick to it. For easy application wet a section at a time, apply the sugar, rub the sugar around in a circular motion to the wet portion and then wash off after a few seconds. Once you get through make sure to wash your face in case you have some excess sugar left then apply your lotion of moisturizer. Your skin will feel really smooth.

not for a exfoliant but i do have a recipe for a face mask. seperate an egg and put the whites in a bowl. use a fork to whisk until slightly frothy then apply to face. for 10 mins then rinse, use once a week. =] i love to do this with friends.

I mix brown sugar with a light soap like Ivory if I run out of it.
You should exfoliate at least once a day.

A Luffa sponge is a good exfolient. Use it lightly and it'll abrade off all the dead skin cells. Use it once or twice a week. Remember, be gentle with it.

ALMOND CLEANING SCRUB:
1 tablespoon finely ground almonds or 1tablespoon almond meal
1 tablespoon Almond Oil Lotion or your favorite Cold cream 1 teaspoon honey
Mix all ingredients together. Store in a clean container. Massage into face and neck, rinse well with tepid water and pat dry.
FAVORITE CLEANING GRAINS:
2 tablespoon oatmeal
2 tablespoon cornmeal
2 teaspoon wheat germ
Mix all three ingredients together and store in airtight container
Combine a teaspoon or two of the mixture with equal parts water or cleanser to create a paste. Massage this paste gently into your skin. Rinse well with tepid water and pat dry.

crushed strawberries...massage your face with it for a whole minute, then add a tea spoon of sugar and gently scrub before rinsing off. u can do this twice to three times a week, and just apply whatever toner or moisturizer u usually apply after that. I actually use a wet tea bag (green tea is best) to wipe my whole face and eyes as a toner or as eye masks, it minimises the pores and helps with puffy eyes. You'll love the results and you'll make it part of your weekly beauty routine, trust me.

Any scrubs are good but some people are sensitive to them so you might have to use the MICROBEADED ones to help or you may use cornmeal mixed with water. This home made cornmeal remedy works wonders!
