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.

This scrub works great! Dry scrubs are a great alternative for those of us that get clogged pores from the oily scrubs. It leaves a good, clean feeling. This recipe is completely adaptable also. It could be made even if you do not have one of the ingredients or other ingedients can be added such as pure cane sugar or coffee grounds. I simply add some water to the scrub in my hand and form a paste to use.
