St. Ives is one of the worst things you can use on your face. Most people think its great because its cheap and makes your skin smooth. HOWEVER; its ground up apricot pits. They are jagged little pieces. Meaning they are scratching your skin and allowing bacteria and free radicals to get in the skin, it will age your skin and break you out long term. Anything that has round beads in it is much better.





And dog poop is natural, would you put that on your face? I agree I like natural....but not EVERYTHING that is natural is always better.How often should i exfoliate my face?
Once a week. My favorite exfoliater is St. Ives Apricot Scrub.





Of course, there are some you can make at home:





Oatmeal Exfoliating Facial Scrub


Mix one pack of instant oatmeal with water to create a paste. Once the paste is formed, dab the mixture onto your entire face. Let the mixture set for approximately 2 minutes and rinse off with cold water. According to experts oily skin should be treated with an oatmeal mask to get good results. Oatmeal when mashed not only acts as a great scrub but also effectively soaks away the excess oil from your face. The usage of oatmeal paste must be followed by a cold water rinse that helps in contracting the pores.





Seawater


Wash your face twice a day in warm, salty water. This helps leave your face clean and oil-free -- without employing any potentially irritating products or soaps.





Honey Yogurt Exfoliating Facial Scrub


Mix 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar with 陆 teaspoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of plain yogurt. Smooth the mixture over your face and leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse off using lukewarm water.





Baking Soda Solution


You can use baking soda as an exfoliator: be careful when applying it to your face, since it is a very effective scrub. Massage the baking soda into your skin for ten to fifteen seconds and rinse. Your face is now clear of the surface cells that will cause many acne spots.






Hi, only exfoliate 2-3 times a week. My best one is St.Ives. always look for a natural scrub. http://epictureperfect.net/facial_scrubs鈥?/a>
2 days a week.





St. Ive's Apricot Scrub is my favourite.
