Life can get hectic and sometimes basic skin care can be neglected, leaving skin rough, uneven, and dry. Exfoliation is one method to quickly soften, skin as dead skin buildup causes roughness. Luckily there are plenty of inexpensive home remedies available to soften skin by exfoliation with as little as one application. Such remedies also keep skin smooth, supple, and free from clogged pores. Simply use the best remedy for you based on your skin type; however the following white sugar and lemon juice recipe is suitable for all skin types.
Directions:
Measure 1 cup of white sugar and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon or lime juice, and pour them both into a small bowl. Mix the ingredients well with a fork.
Run a bath and heavily lather face and body with a soap that won't dry out skin, such as castile soap.
Apply the sugar-lemon juice mixture on top of the lather. Use a loofah or a wash cloth to scrub entire body with the mixture and lather. Rinse with warm water for soft, glowing skin.
NOTE: Use any treatment with caution if you have sensitive skin or are prone to skin allergies. Test an ingredient on your forearm before any full application.
