Tips

  • This will not only exfoliate your dead, flaky skin, but it also stimulate your circulation. That's why we start at the ankles.
  • Using a loofah or something similar will add to the benefits of exfoliation.
  • For extra exfoliation, when washing towels, don't use fabric softener and when drying off, rub the towel gently in circular movements all over your body.
  • As an alternate, you can use a natural bristle brush with no products. Places to focus on: back of arms and thighs. It's called dry skin brushing and it feels great.

Warnings

  • It is not recommended to use body exfoliator on your face, as it is too abrasive.
