Does anyone have any suggestions? I've heard some use sugar as a scrub. But, any ideas on something that would act as a cleanser?

Thanks!

There are 10 recipes here that cover various skin types - all skin, dry skin, moisturizing, exfoliating etc. I've tried a couple of them and liked the way my skin felt. I can't recommend one over the other since they are for specific types of skin and purposes so don't know what would work for you.

I use a bar of Kiss My Face soap and bath gloves. Works on entire body - not just face.

I have used baking soda but it is a bit drying for my skin. I tried it with just water and mixed with a cleanser. Actually I received a sample of one that was very nice from a Korean Company. Currently I have been using cocoanut oil to remove makeup and then spread more of the oil on my face and take a warm washcloth to wipe it off. This is not normal for me but my cheeks have been rather dry. I have heard people talk about using sugar as a face scrub.

Superfine sugar makes a great a.m. wash because you don't have to remove eye makeup. You can keep it gritty for a little extra dermabrasion, or you can dilute it. I've been using sugar exclusively for several years now. It is quite hydrating on the skin.
