#7: Exfoliate!!!(:

Exfoliating is one thing I LOVE to do, but never do it! Not because it's a hard or out-of-the-way thing to do, I just forget. haha
Exfoliating removes dead skin cells from your body, leaving it cleaner, brighter, and less prone to acne! There are many products you can use to exfoliate (I used to use St.Ive's Apricot Scrub), but after finding some things around the house that work just as good, I don't have to spend the money on a special scrub!

My absolute favorite thing to exfoliate with at the moment is SUGAR!

All you need is a small bowl or cup with sugar in it. Depending on if you are exfoliating your whole body, or only your face will determine how much sugar you will need. I usually do this in the shower. I take a washcloth and wet it and ring it out so I get rid of all the excess water, pat the wet washcloth in the sugar and LIGHTLY rub it where ever I want to exfoliate. Rinse it off, pat dry, and your skin is clean!

Also, you may also add some olive oil to the sugar, to make it a paste-like texture. This will also help your skin! I don't do this every time, though.


It is recommended to exfoliate about twice a week. If you over-exfoliate your face, it will actually damage your skin. Also make sure you MOISTURIZE after!! Your skin will feel amazing! (:
