A fantastic uber-intensive micro scrub that I recommend doing once per week is one you make right at home, for a nominal cost. In a small container, mix a few teaspoons of baking soda (yes, that yellow box found in the grocery isle) with a squirt or two of your favorite mild, liquid cleanser (I like Cetaphil). What's nice about baking soda is that its granules are spherical, hence will not be abrasive to the skin. Mix the soda and cleanser until you have a pasty consistency (add a few drops of water to thin down a bit as needed).
Rub the baking soda scrub onto wet skin (face, neck and décolletage). Using gentle circular motions, massage for one minute (that's 60 seconds folks....no less!). Rinse with warm water until no baking soda remains on the skin.
Baking Soda is extremely *alkaline, so use a mild toner to balance-out your pH levels. Moisturize as usual as per my recommended "CTM" skincare *routine. I recommend using this scrub at night prior to bedtime, no more than twice per week, and is good for all skin types; adjust your moisturizer accordingly as per your skin type. Your skin will be super-duper soft, refreshed and renewed!
