    You probably remember Pond's face cream. It's an older product. It has a light scent and is a light creamy texture (not thick). It is intended primarily for the face but it can be used on forearms, hands, legs (from thighs down), and feet. The cream helps loosen dry skin, and any blotchy patches of brown where dirt has coated areas of the skin. A wet washcloth can then be used the next day to wipe the skin. You need to reapply the Ponds every day to see results. It is rather inexpensive for a 6.5 fluid ounce jar.

    Community Answer
    Dry brushing is another effective way to remove dead skin cells and dirt from the surface of your skin, while also promoting the production of healthy oils. Dry brushing is exactly what it sounds like: you brush your skin, while dry, with a natural fiber brush.
