I exfoliate every single time I take a shower. I use a loofah and body wash...but once a week I also exfoliate with Salt*..is that bad for my skin? (I use aveeno body lotion afterwards) Does anyone have any natural ways/tips for lightening skin? My skin's warm toned/medium.

I've heard/read it is bad for your skin to exfoliate more that twice a week.
exfoliating is meant to remove dead skin basically, as well as dirt, oil, etc.
exfoliating everyday or every other day can cause micro-tares (or whatever) on the soft, new skin underneath all the dead stuff. I would recommend slowing down to 2-3 times per week.
also, your skin looks great! don't be ashamed of the colour of your skin, or let others make you feel that way; you're beautiful!
..I don't know why else you'd wanna lighten it :p

Lemon juice can help lighten skin. Use sea salt or sugar for exfoliating. But try not to use it on your face, because they're not polished beads and can make your skin worse in the long run
