Shave and exfoliate in one step?

    I get a lot of mail from people asking for questions or tips on how to clear up acne and blemishes. We are always running low on time in the mornings so I thought I'd throw in a great tip I picked up a while ago.  You can shave and exfoliate your skin at the same time. It's pretty easy and doesn't require any special equipment.
    This tip comes in from a friend who works in a day spa.  They have a "master barber." When they hook you up with their $55 dollar shave service, this is pretty much what they do.

Step 1

Get your bowl, your brush, your cream and your favorite exfoliate.

 Step 2

Go ahead and put equal amounts in a hot bowl.

Step 3

Take your wet brush and start mixing it up.

 Step 4

Add water accordingly. You might find it's a little bit too thick at times. You've got a great lather now.

As you typically would, massage and spread the lather all over the parts of your face you intend to shave. It really is that simple.
