Make a home made body scrub?

[Ast87]

Anyone have some recipies for home made body scrubs? I know that they basically contain sugar/salt or oatmeal with some form or liquid (olive oil, milk ect), but most of the recipies I found on the net had some weird stuff in them. So does anyone have some personal favorites?

I usually use sugar and some kind of lotion or oil. Body Lotion or baby oil works good but it is important to use sugar,not salt because salt is a drying agent whereas sugar isn't. You might want to use it standing in the tub or shower and rinse off well afterwards because it will be sticky.
Hope this helps!

Salt is fine as you are using it as an exfoliant, it doesn't stay on the skin for too long.

2 cups sea salt
1 1/3 cups aloe vera baby oil or soya oil
8 vitamin E, capsules, (Split capsule, add to mixture)
2 tablespoons honey
Mix all ingredients together - this will make quite a bit - you can store it for later.

1 cup fine salt
1/2 cup oats, finely chopped
1/4 cup powdered milk
1/4 cup baking soda
1/2 cup baby oil, maybe more
5-6 capsules vitamin E (optional)
Mix all ingredients together (emptying oil out of capsules)

These recipes are from Recipezaar. For a basic scrub you can use salt and almond oil and you can add a fragrance oil too if you like.

Cool completely, then add
