What are some good tips when exfoliating, as i dont have any exfoliating gloves or exfoliating lotion?

One method is to use sugar and a really good moisturiser. Mix about a teaspooon with the cream in the palm of your hand and apply to what ever area EXCEPT THE FACE gently. Very gently and rub in a circular motion. The sugar crystals act as the exfoliant and the moisturiser acts to sooth and moisturise the skin. Then wash off and do another area if you choose. If you rub too hard you can scratch your skin and certainly you can damage it that way. Don't use this on your face as it is too harsh. For your face use a flannel wash cloth, use it dry or very lightly damp and use it gently in a circular motion. I purchased Enjo body gloves about 3 years ago and they work like a treat, but they are expensive.  more
