Instead of body wash: Try charcoal and glycerin

Charcoal acts like a magnet to pull dirt and other impurities from skin, while its exfoliating properties whisk away dead, dry flakes. And glycerin (made from the oil extracted from vegetables) locks moisture back in. ■ TRY IT! Mix 1⁄ cup of glycerin and 1⁄ Tbs.

2 2 of charcoal powder. While showering, rub 1 Tbs. of the mixture on damp skin for 1 minute; rinse. Store remaining mix in a lidded jar.
