Why do we need to do it?
If you want your skin to look healthy and radiant, exfoliate regularly. By removing the top layer of dead epidermis cells, you will make your skin appear smoother and less wrinkled.

The cheapest way to exfoliate is to do it yourself at home. Here are the things that you will be needing should you want to exfoliate:
Baby Oil
Iodized Salt
Directions:
1. Go inside the bathroom/shower.
2. Take off your clothes.
3. Put oil in your body.
4. Rub the salt in (provided that you don't have any open wounds). Be sure not to over do with the rubbing cuz it may actually damage your skin.
5. Wash it off.
You may do it once a week. The effect would be softer and smoother skin. And you can track you budget as well since it's cheap. ;-)
