Best natural products for e..

I heard that lemon juice and salt mixed togeather is a good way to exfoliate my face? I also heard that exfoliation whitens your skin, is that true?

Sugar scrub is the best natural exfoliate. I find salt scrubs dry your skin out.

No no no... don't mix them together!! I'm sorry if that was a bit confusing.

Here we go..

If you want to exfoliate your body parts.. like elbows or knees.. use Kosher or sea salt. Rub the salt on your body parts that need exfoliating. NOT on your FACE. Salt is too harsh for your face. You will damage your skin!!!!

For your face.... Dip a cotton ball in some freshly squeezed lemon juice and dab it on your face avoiding your eyes. Leave it on for about 3-5 minutes and then rinse off. It will not whiten your skin totally. No natural product will whiten your skin. It will help your skin look more clear.

Does that help clear things up for your?

wow, thats a harsh combo, i'd rather stick with sugar and no lemons. Honey and sugar is a nice combo but if that's too moisturizing for you, i'd use papaya and sugar (papaya is a natural exfoliator, and i've noticed that blended cucumbers whiten my skin). and yes, if you have a tanned complexion (from sun damage), exfoliation gets rid of that top layer (VERY slowly) and with good sunscreen, you should be getting a bit lighter.
