I had a spell about a week ago where all of a sudden the skin on my arms & legs started sloughing off. Detox I believe. Skin brushing helped some but then I got an intuitive nudge to exfoliate w/ handfuls of borax while in the shower. It felt somewhat harsh as I rubbed, my skin felt slightly tender after but no lasting damage and it looks great now.
It's just 20 mule team borax.
