Exfoliate for Silky Skin

There's a lot of talk about exfoliation. This is a process whereby you remove the dead cells from your body. This is very important considering that skin is the largest bodily organ. Another major benefit of exfoliation is that without the dead skin cells laying on top of the skin, your skin absorbs moisturizers or whatever you want more easily into the body. An easy, inexpensive and one of the best exfoliating treatments I know is olive oil and kosher salt. Kosher salt is great because it is very coarse and so it does a better job. Here's how to do it. Put about a half a cup of of olive oil in a small ball. Keep pouring in the salt as you mix until it becomes fairly thick. Then you can either stand in the tub or in the shower and rub this mixture all over your body. I don't do this on my face because I think it's a bit to rough. Then either sit down in the tub and let the salt dissolve or shower it off. Your skin will feel like silk. The olive oil stays a bit on your skin and leaves your skin healthier, glowing and smooth like a baby.

This will NOT work if you put the salt into moisturizer (I tried it!). The salt "melts" in moisturizer. If you don't want olive oil, any other oil (NOT crisco or corn oil) like sesame, coconut, flaxseed also works very well. No matter whether you do this in the tub or the shower... BE CAREFUL. It gets a little slippery because of the oil. But your skin is FABULOUS!!!! and you've hardly spent any money. What could be better?
