For a quick exfoliator – grab a lemon and some sea or rock salt from your fridge. You rub the salt onto rough skin with the lemon. You can also mix the salt with your favorite body wash. It works great and makes you smell wonderful.
Thanks for the great tip. I would add though that if you are using self tanner to avoid the lemon as it is a bleaching agent. On the flip side you can use the kosher brides tip for getting rid of splotchy self tanner marks as well.
Thanks jen for a great tip. This is tried and true. I was recently speaking tol my co-worker who used to be a makeup artist and she mentioned that she uses vaseline as well.
