try mixing two parts oatmeal and one part water mixed with epsom salts. the oatmeal is good for soft skin, the epsoms too. and theyll be a good rub in high concentrations.
you can try a sugar rub if you mix 5 cups of sugar in 1 cup of water. be careful not to get it in your hair though. its a good scrub.
rinse well or beware of killer ants...

You could make your own bath teas, sprinkle crushed up dried rose petals, chamomile (I just rip open a chamomile tea bag), ground up lavender buds, with some essential oils and epsom salts. It creates quite a relaxing bath, especially after a long day of work, as the espom salts relax your aching muscles and the essential oils create a nice soothing and calming fragrance.
For bath milks, blend powdered milk, baking soda, epsom salt, powdered buttermilk (found in the powdered milk section at the grocer's), mix a few drops of essential oils, and pour about 1/2 to 1 full cup into bath water. The milk products are very soothing and revitalizing for the skin, and the essential oils will create a soothing quality as well.
You could also make your very own sugar or salt scrub. Just mix sugar or salt (or both, for a salty sweet scrub), with a light oil like olive or sunflower, a few drops of essential oils, and use this as a scrub whilst showering. Your skin will feel so rejuventated, and super soft!
You don't have to get technical with these types of homemade spa products. I literally 'dump and pour' the amounts I like best. Like I'll use more powdered milk than baking soda to my bath milks, and I like to use a lot of sugar in my scrubs rather than salts as I find they can be a tad drying if you use to much. And I won't use as much oils in my scrubs and might subsitute a bit for glycerin as I don't like the 'oily' feel.
HTH!

Anything with lavender is good for the mind as well as the skin. It's totally relaxing. Go to Walgreen's and get Batherapy Liquid. It's in a purple bottle w/ a white top. It's Lavender scented & it's awesome.
You can also drop a couple herbal teabags in your bathwater, or in a sinkful of hot water plugged up. Put your washcloth in it & use it on your face. Chamomile is good for that.
