isn't it great?? yea, you don't need any lotion at all. for my face, i usually wipe my face gently with a towel down and out to wipe off the oil left on the sruface when i get out of the shower. but I don't wipe it off my body at all.

Does this make the bathtub dangerously slippery?

Maybe silly, but I remember years and years ago using baby oil to shave my legs and I could never get it up from the tub (easily). My parents used to have a fit, saying they slipped all the time. It was slick. Does this happen?

I STILL love the honey and bakig soda. I have yet to find anything better. Maybe I'll try adding some Bronners?

I mix up a batch of the scrub and slather it on my legs, then use a wash cloth to rub it in. Sooo soft!

I make a sugar scrub using about 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of olive oil, and then scent it with essential oils. Right now I have some with rosewood oil and it smells sooooo great! I love how soft my skin is after showering.

Ooooh, I'll have to try that. I lurve the smell of coffee, but can't stand to drink it.
Going to have to try all these methods and find out which one I like the best. Oh poor me!

I did the evoo/sugar last night and loved it. I especially liked it on my face. Now I will try the honey on my face on days between showering.

I tried the evoo and sugar this morning and LOOOOVED it! I love how soft and smooth it left my skin and I didn't even feel like I needed to moisturize after the shower! It made shaving my legs easier too! Now my skin can feel luxurious without having to spend a fortune! Thank you! Thank you!

Just found this on this website: http://www.natural-holistic-health.c...for-your-skin/

It looks wonderful! I love pumpkin anything so I'm excited to try it!

"Pumpkin, Sugar, and Spice Scrub

1/2 cup cooked or canned pumpkin, pureed
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground Cinnamon

Combine ingredients in a bowl.

Stand in a tub or shower stall and use a damp washcloth to scoop some of the mixture up. Apply to body, starting with your feet and working your way up, but avoiding your face. Scrub gently using circular motions.

Rinse with warm water and pat dry"

There are a lot of wonderful natural skincare recipes on this website!
