This scrub has a very light, creamy, gel like texture to it. It melts into your skin with ease while exfoliating and moisturizing leaving your skin soft and supple. If you want to make this scrub for the face, maybe leave out the walnut shell powder, as if can be far too abrasive for the face, but it's great for more problem areas like the feet, elbows, and knees.

liquid germall plus - preservative
jojoba beads - exfoliator
