need a good exfoliator that is cheap!

:pI alway buy philosophy though at the moment I have so much to pay out for I cant afford to by it until the end of MAy:rolleyes: So I need one to get my through as I am about to run out, so I would love someone to tell me a body exfoliator that is cheap but does the job, I know nothing is going to compare to what I have used though I dont want to get a really runny one that does not last either.
TIA

    Personally, I love the body shop ones as there is loads of them depending on your skin type. For additional scrubbing I use their exfoliating gloves and the round body brush.

    For a total exfoliation I use the body brush followed by either a body wash and exfoliating gloves or exfoliant finished with exfoliating gloves. Amazing.

    I have found that most exfoliants don't really exfoliate well but if I have particular bits needing scrubbed I buy aluminium oxide crystals with water on my skin.

    Hi,

    Why don't you buy some of those exfoliating gloves and use your usual soap / shower gel with them? You can buy them in the bodyshop for about a fiver but they are much cheaper in supermarkets etc.

    They last forever!

    salt or sugar in with your body wash will do the trick nicely, rince well though!

    I use Porridge oats. They release oat germ when warm water is added which moisturises and the rough bits gently exfoliate. I buy supermarket cheapo packs which last forever.

    For body I use soft brown sugar and olive oil. Works really well and leave my skin so soft after

    the above suggestion sounds ideal - or I would suggest salt and baby oil for a slighly less glamorous sounding mix. They are doing the same thing though.

    You can try cornmeal mixed with some inexpensive cocoa butter cream/lotion, use with the exfoliating glove, then rinse off.
