Q: I think I should exfoliate, but I don't want to spend alot of $$$. What to do?

Grace: Looking for a cheap, but effective facial exfoliator? Try baking soda! I know, whodda thunk it? It gives a gentle polish to the skin, something you can use everyday. And I’m sorry ladies, but that St. Ives Apricot Scrub, well it’s actually too harsh. The individual particles create invisible scratches on the skin surface. So, put some Arm & Hammer into a mini Glad container, and next time you’re in the shower, just add a little in with your facial cleanser. SUPA easy and SUPA cheap! Love it.
