What is a good exfoliant for the face that works well? I see so many on the shelves I can't decide. If it's an organic one from WHole foods even better or some homemade recipe.

I have found Alpha Hydrox to be the very best. Comes in a red and white tube. Not expensive. Their whole line is great. You can order from drugstore.com and often get free shipping. Good luck!

I love St. Ive's (I think) Apricot Scrub. And, Neutrogena's Advanced Solutions Facial Peel---both leave your skin feeling soft and smooth---and actually moisterized. Not dryed out at all!

If you want homemade stuff, have a look at: Create Spa Treatments at Home -- Homemade Spa Treatment and Beauty Recipes

Personally, I just use Clearasil Blackhead Scrub with Natural Sea Salt. I don't really worry about blackheads, I just like the way the product smells, lol.

Sea salt and any kind of oil: olive, jojoba, almond (expensive!) vitamin E. You can scent the oils if you like with an essential oil.

Like your idea. I'll have to give this one a try. I already use my morning tea bags on my eyes and now I can use my DH coffee grounds on my face. What more can you ask for

Well if you add lemon rind to it too....

-brightens skin (lightens age spots and dullness with vitC)
-kills acne
