It's odd, but this natural way to exfoliate was the one thing that I truly remember from the number of camping trips I took when I was a scout (or as we call it, "Pengakap") in primary school. I did learn a few other things, like: (1) I enjoy the occasional jungle-trekking, (2) I love bathing in river water, (3) I don't like sleeping in tents, and (4) I hate leeches. But if there is one lesson that I've taken with me from my camping experience to this day, it was to recognise river sands and beads as nature's exfoliators.
Whenever I get the chance to experience the delicious taste of cold river water, I take the opportunity to get some exfoliating done as well; I suppose the metaphor "Kill two birds with one stone" might just be appropriate here. This could be done at any nature's body of water that has sands and beads
—even at your favourite beach
—but shallow river is just my favourite, like the place I visited
here.
It's so super simple to do that you simply must just give it a go the next time you're near some natural sands and beads. Here's how:
Pick up some of the sands and beads from the river bed. Please make sure there are no foreign object amongst them to be safe.
