The skin on my face is very rough looking and a friend suggested that I should exfoliate regularly, but instead of going out and spending a bunch of money is there anything I could find around my house to use?What are some things I can find around the house to help exfoliate my face?
The following is a great, quick little mask you can do at home.





It cleans %26amp; clears the skin. If you have quite a few blemishes (not just blackheads, active acne) follow up with an good moisturizer such as Cetaphyl or Purpose.





';The aspirin mask is a homemade BHA mask available to each and everyone of us, totally inexpensive and highly efficient, made of salicylic acid or tablets of aspirin. BHA is known to help tremendously with cleaning pores from deep inside and therefore contribute to keeping our skin blemish-free. BHAs are efficient on existing blemishes as well, by helping them heal faster and keeping pores clean afterwards.';





This mask is good for all skin types, especially normal to oily and combination skin, acne-prone and clogged skin.





';Basic preparation: 1/4 tsp. salicylic acid (ask for it at pharmacy, if you cannot find it, then crush 3-5 tablets of plain aspirin instead), distilled water. Mix the powder with the water until it becomes of a creamy consistence, apply on clean dry skin (focus on T-zone and sides of the nose). Keep it on until completely dry. Take a small cotton pad, wet it lightly and begin scrubbing the areas covered with the mask, making small circles. Finally, rinse with plenty of water. It would be excellent to apply a calming mask or a hydrating mask first, followed by your regular moisturizer. Skin will be left completely smooth and even.';

Ooh- there are lots of things to make. Oatmeal is great! Mix it with some honey and mashed up bananas and leave on the skin for 20-30 min. Its a great mask! Otherwise- pineapple and papaya are wonderful exfoliants. Mash the two up, apply on face and leave on for 10-15 minutes. the enzymes in the fruit helps take off the dead skin! Ive done this at my school for Esthetics and it was great! aslo- green tea and chamomile tea are great toners! Make as u normally would, let cool and apply onto face with a cotton ball.
sugar, salt, or baking soda mixed with olive oil, mineral oil, glycerin, or even a spot of lotion.
sugar, olive oil, and honey all mixed together
Handfull of rolled oats, dribble some warm water onto them, rub between your hands till they start to lather up %26amp; then scrub your face.





Beats any expensive facial scrub hands down.
ordinary table sugar.
whoa watch out for what the other people are saying! you could end up in a worse situation than you have now.


honey and oatmeal (not the quick cooking kind) is an ideal


solution for what you want. you make a paste with the oatmeal aabout 1/2 cup, mix with a couple of tablespoons of water then add enough honey to make it smooth. if you want to make it moisturizing then add oil to it. preferrably almond oil but if you don't have that olive oil will do. leave this concoction on your face for about 20 minutes. if it dries, soften with warm water to remove. do not rub. rinse with cool water and spritz with a weak solution ( few drops to 1/2 cup)of lemon juice and boiled water. (cooled down) this will help with the pH of your skin. if you don't have a spritzer you can using cotton ball but don't soak it just have it damp.


stop using soap on your face too. aveeno makes a good bar


soap. you may want to use an oilated product for the first little bit then switch to a gentle one. good luck.
Sugar and salt are too course and can scratch. Brown sugar is good, but not white. Stick to baking soda, it does a lot better job and kills germs too. Mix with water, natural soap, or plain vegetable oil like olive or sunflower.
