Sounds about right. Any more than that is just harsh on your skin. And when I use a scrub (not homemade), I always heavilly moisturize my skin afterwards to make sure it doesn't dry out. I found this fabulous organic body lotion by Alba called "Very Emollient Body Lotion". It smells divine! You can find it at Target with all the organic bath stuff.
*ROTFLMAO* @ my own choice of words in that response! It sounds very dirty ("do it nightly")! Mwuhaha.
When you said fortnight, I thought you meant you applied it every day for 2 weeks, not only every 2 weeks. Oops. Well perhaps I'll try once or twice a week... I'm impatient lol.
As for the sunscreen, I did know it can penetrate the clouds, but I just forget to apply it then b/c I don't have the obvious, glaring sun. In the winter I still put a lower SPF lotion on my face, but nothing on my arms b/c they are covered by long sleeves.
Anyone have a good suggestion for an oil-free sunblock/ daily moisturizer for the face that doesn't stink? I hate the smell of most sunscreens.

;D lol!
For my face, I use Clinique City block SPF40. It smells a bit sunscreen-y, but it's nothing like most of the sunscreens out there (I know what you mean about the smell). It's a bit pricey, it cost me 21 euros, not too sure what that is in other currencies though. But yeah, it's great! Not greasy either. And it doubles as a makeup base too and can be used on the eyelids. ^^
I heard good things about the Clarins one too.
