Egyptians are known for good hygiene, or rather they followed the adage, ” Cleanliness is next to godliness”. They made a cleansing paste with water combined with Natron, which is a compound that occurs naturally in sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate. After bath they oiled their skin with frankincense and myrrh, probably for the fact that they lived in hot and arid climates.

Skin polishing is just another way of saying exfoliation. The only difference may be in the price of skin polishing products and treatments versus body scrubs and exfoliation treatments. You may be able to save even more money by making your own skin polishes. Before using or making any skin polish, it’s important to understand the skin polishing process from head to toe.
