If you take care of your skin on regular basis, you know the importance of exfoliating your skin. It not only remove dead skin but also promote blood flow and help to surface healthy, smooth and glowing skin. If you are the one who always use physical scrubs to get rid of that dead skin, you need to try liquid exfoliators as they are getting popular for their ease of use and effectivness without your skin scrubbing raw.

You can get some very good commercial chemical liquid exfoliators which are famous and effective but most of them are quite expensive and are not suitable for sensitive skin. However you can make your own liquid exfoliating toner with few products, right out of your kitchen which are safe and you can adjust the quantity according to your skin type.
