How to Make Homemade Skin Polishers

Applying skin polish to your face and body helps remove dead cells so your skin will look bright and fresh. Removing dead skin also helps when applying anti-aging creams, allowing expensive products to penetrate deeper into the layers of skin. Skin and body polish treatments, whether purchased at a department store or done at a spa, can be very expensive. Purchase a few simple ingredients, get some others out of your kitchen cupboards and mix up a thrifty skin polish to get beautiful glowing skin in no time.
