I agree with everyone. I just tried it on my face and did as MommaEllen suggested, to apply it to my face over my kitchen sink. I used the sprayer to rinse it off and down the disposal it went. I love how cheap it is to make and it leaves my skin feeling wonderful.

    I can't believe I forgot to rate this. I have been using it for well over a year now, primarily on my face and love the results. I also use it on some rough patches I have on the back of my arms and it gets rid of them with one use--no other scrubs have worked on my arms in the past. This is a great scrub and I highly recommend it! Thanks for posting SaraFish.

    Very impressed with this simple recipe! I applied this today and used a soft bristled nail brush to scrub it in - I felt so refreshed. Perfect to use pre-shaving. Definitely clogged the hair-catcher that's placed over my bath drain - make sure you have one in place before using. Thank you for a recipe that I will be using frequently. P.S. I sent my husband to the shower with this for the clogged pores around his nose and it made a huge difference after just one application. Also when used in conjunction with a pumice stone it's very effective for dry/peeling heels. A real full body treatment!

    Inexpensive, and easy to make. Works BETTER than an expensive "Salt-glow" treatment that you would pay $150 USD for at a spa for the same effect. (Salt glows can be very oily, which causes break-outs after the treatments. This recipe here, is a much better solution. None of the ingrediants are harsh and abrasive to even the most delicate and sensitive of skin. Make sure you don't forget to use on those hopeless dry elbows and knees. This REALLY, REALLY Works. You will have skin like a newborn after you use this!
