All u beautiful ladies try this one and u'll never need a soap or body wash. Mix gram flour, rice powder and a bit of turmeric and keep it in a container. Every time you go for a bath take two spoonfuls in bowl, add milk or yoghurt,lemon juice, honey in a bit of cream or malai also if u have dry skin. Make a thick paste. Now rub it all over your wet body and face with hands or loofah as you do with your body wash. Rinse it off. U'll feel absolutely clean, smooth and moisturized skin instantly. You'll never need to use any soap or face wash again. It's been a part my bathing routine for last fifteen years.
