To change your exfoliation habits maybe look into trying a Salux towel, have heard they work wonders:

Any time this kind of thread comes up, I recommend the same thing: this wash cloth. I've never felt so clean as I do once I started using this thing.

About 4 years ago, I spent about $70 on a wallet. Today, I still use that wallet, and it still in fantastic condition. I could see it lasting many, many more years. I haven't had to buy a new wallet in ages.

Also, two years ago was the first time I bought one of these. My shower game has completely changed ever since. It's the best shower item I've ever purchased, and at less than $10, it's a bargain.
