You have some wonderful answers regarding this, so here is mine. Depending on your skin type, whatever you use should be finely grated in a processor or grinder; I use the old hand held coffee ones. Oatmeal and almonds are two best bets. Ground the 2 together and mix 1 drop olive oil to it. Use damp fingers when applying and lukewarm to rinse, never hot- it scalds the skin. To naturally enliven the tone, try 1 teaspoon oat flakes to 1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar. Mix in ground almonds, and a pinch of sea salt. Have fun experimenting with herbs, essential oils, and foods- it's less expensive and natural. I've done it for years. Have fun in your endeavor!!!

I found this scrub by accident! I bought a bottle of honey but accidently left it in the car and in froze- resulting in the honey to crystalize some. A few days later I was reading how good honey is for your skin so I thought what the heck! The crystalized honey worked just like the expensive scrubs for exfoliating and the honey softened and smoothed my skin like I couldn't believe! The best part is because it is just honey I didn't have to worry about slippery oils in my shower and the honey dissolved so there was no mess!!!

I just thought of another "best part" because there is no lemon in the scrub it didn't ittitate or sting my skin- even after shaving!!!

I've made some out of oatmeal, rock salt (the type that you put in a grinder), a little warm water, honey and maybe a drop of either almond extract or vanilla extract. Make it into a paste and use where you like :)

Oatmeal is a natural exfoliant and moisturizer all in one! Sugar is also a good choice. Mix natural plain oatmeal with honey for a super-moisturixing skin treat. Rinse with warm water. Hot water will dissolve the honey out of your tub.

I also recommend checking out Breezy Beach Wear's new line of freshly sliced bars - Beachy Clean! Their bars are terrific and are inexpensive. Their best exfoliating bars include the island sandbar (sanitized sand), apple cider bar (sugar), freshly squeezed lemonade bar (sugar and real lemon slices), and their salt water taffy bar ( with mineral-rich dead sea salts)!

Sea Salt and Olive Oil mixed together. MIx together more sea salt than olive oil so you can use it as a scrub. The olive oil has lots of antioxidants and will leave your skin feeling smooth. And your skin won't smell like olive oil.

Use oatmeal, prepare it and stuff, the instant stuff will work, and then you can use it as a scrub, for your anything you want to exfoliate.

You can make great, cheap ones from sea salts and lemon. You can even use sugar and lemon for more sensitive areas.
