Thanks Lgali, I do usually use simple body scrub like: salt, sugar, oatmeal and powder milk and they're ok for me;)
such simple ingredients readily available in our kitchen. i personally tend to prefer high-priced facial mask because i always find it to tiring to mash and combine all ingredients. but then, yours are too simple i will definitely try at home. thanks for sharing.
You're welcome msbolin. although homemade, remember your choice still depends on the type of skin you have ;)
Cool I use these all the time
Great! Furturewife;)
