Fresh Skin Exfoliation Routine
- 10 years ago
I found a gentle yet effective way to exfoliate that is easy and cost-effective. What more could one want, I wonder :P. I hope you try it out and enjoy the results too!
I make my own Muslin cloth, but you can find commercially produced ones here (these may or may not be organic and unbleached):

VIDEO FAQ:
Q: What do you think of the microfiber cloth?
A: It fits the bill for being a gentle, effective exfoliator. I personally use the muslin cloth so I can compost it when I'm done with it, so it's the disposal method that made me choose the muslin cloth over the microfiber cloth. Most microfiber cloths do not biodegrade.
Q: Why pineapple juice?
A: I have used pineapple juice in various masks, exfoliants, and found pineapple juice in various products that I have loved. I know that it supposedly contains enzymes (bromelain) that are purported to exfoliate the skin, but I just love the finish that it leaves, even after only being on my skin for a short about of time. You can omit it if it's too acidic for you, it's just a personal preference for me!
Make your own routine and have fun with it! My only rules are that the routine is gentle and is slightly acidic on the pH scale to maintain my skin's acid mantle.
