I started experimenting with baking soda as a scrub last night. Water + baking soda is OK. I'm now looking into baking soda + liquid soap. Currently I'm using some Dr Brown's liquid soap. I'm still working on getting the right mix. I want a very thick paste with a good abrasive effect.

After getting involved with this post, I got to thinking about the face scrub I use. Last night I started looking for inexpensive and effective face scrubs to buy. I then starting thinking about homemade scrubs, since I like to make my own stuff at times. I saw baking soda scrubs listed in many DIY sites. A lot of the sites mentioned using lemon juice, but a user commented that she uses liquid soap, so I went down that route.
