    I added table salt to my new Olay "foaming" facial cleanser because it was not working for me. No foam, little cleansing power, pricey. I used my fingers to mix the salt with the cleanswer and then...

    Fine table salt, iodized ok, should always be used wet, with some water-- NEVER BY ITSELF OR DRY! Simple scrub: lather up some bar soap, as dove,traderjoes or zest bar, and gently wash all over...

    I do not recommend this for anyone's skin. First, salt breaks people out. Ever had a workout and your [salty] sweat broke you out if you didn't take a shower afterward. It clogs pores really...

    I used to exfoliate every night until a sea foam facial sponge broke me out. Wanting to use an all natural exfoliater I looked up some recipes online & came upon a good bit of info: Dry skinned...

    In combination with a product, salt adds as a great exfoliator and gently dries out skin. I always noticed my skin looks great after being at the beach so I gave it a try. Just make sure you grind...

    I just gave myself the nicest, easiest facial ever. I mixed a bit of honey, some Castille soap, a dash of jojoba and table salt. my skin feels great, and the whole thing probably cost 50 cents.

    Fantastic as a face and body scrub but the trick is to not over do it. My skin can tolerate exfoliation quite well, it seems that I have a high cell turn over rate or something, so that may explain...

    I use ordinary table salt to exfoliate with, and I can honestly say it is one of the best physical scrubs I have ever used for an easy and quick exfoliation. I usually hate the trouble of...

    I bought so many scrubs and nothing could compare to this. I find that scrubs have large size granules that really irritates the skin. With salt you could actually make the granules smaller,...

    I love this salt scrub! Chemical exfoliators tend to dry the hell out of my skin and are very ineffective (in my opinion). I've tried several homemade scrubs like sugar, coffee, oatmeal, brown...

    After reading the reviews, I decided to try this. I mix coarse sea salt with honey, various oils and essential oils. This scrub is better than any other scrub I have used--my skin is soft and...

    Ladies - try brown sugar instead. It scrubs just as well, but isn't drying or painful (if you've got any irritated or broken skin) like salt is. Plus you'll smell yummy! For flaky scalps - mix...

    I took sea salt and put it in my Ultimate Chopper and made it really fine (almost like powdered sugar) It worked wonderfully as a face scrub. I mixed it with my regular cleanser.

    I love homemade salt scrubs! For body I'll use table salt and some oil, I'm not too particular as long as it doesn't smell pungent, and then I'll add a spritz of some perfume, mix it up and scrub...
