Make Scrubby Loofah Soap

Monday February 4, 2008
loofah soapOne of the best things you can do for your skin (other than to use a quality soap) is to exfoliate. It helps rid your skin of dead cells and promote the growth of new ones. Many of you have tried using Natural Exfoliants in your soap already. One of the most popular (and easy) exfoliants to use in your soap is loofah. (It's also often spelled luffa or loofa...but it's all the same plant.) You can use them in slices, or grind it up for a less aggressive scrub. Either way, your skin will appreciate the attention.
