The Washcloth

I’m going to tell you something your granny knows. All a girl really needs is a washcloth.

Ok, so we can spend all this money on peels and scrubs and microdermabrasion products. What are they doing? Lifting dead cells off your face. What works, but doesn’t cost an arm and leg? A hint: all you need are 7 – 10, and they’re cheap!

Take your washcloth every morning, or every other. Wet it, apply your favorite face cleanser. Gently (no scrubbing!) move the washcloth over your face in tiny circles. It will feel good with light pressure. If you turn red, you’re pressing too hard. Not only do you get gentle exfoliation, but a nice face massage in the process. Rinse. Feel refreshed.

To save on laundry, I fold mine into four sections and only wet that section. Use the next clean section the following day.
