I exfoliate with equal parts virgin olive oil and sugar. The former posters are right, sugar is a great scrubber and the oil makes your skin soft.

Salt is wonderful to scrub your dry skin with.It not only relieves dry skin but is healing at the same time.

My son and I made a wonderful hand scrub for his school's trade fair. The teachers were all fighting for it! In a small jar, combine equal parts Crisco shortening and sugar. Then add a few drops of fragrance oil (we used vanilla found in the potpourri section of Wal-Mart) and stir to combine. To use, rub a tablespoon or so onto dry hands (or anywhere else). Rinse hands with warm water and dry with a paper towel. Everyone loved it so much that we put some in a little basket with a hand towel for teacher gifts at the end of the year.

Ditto on the granulated sugar! I just lather up my favorite soap and dump about a tablespoon or two of sugar into my hand with the lather. It makes a wonderful scrub...... plus you're not putting all the "gunk" from oatmeal or coffee grounds or whatever all over your shower or tub and possibly clogging up your drain. That's why I love the sugar. It just dissolves and disappears after doing the job!

My adult daughter & I just keep a plastic container full of plain Sugar in the shower area to use to exfoliate with. It's not only super-cheap, but it works wonderfully & doesn't leave the shower slippery & dangerous!

this can be one of the most inexpensive things you give yourself as a TREAT!
I love that you brought this up!
I haven't done this myself but it is easy.If you have no sensitivity to regular dollar or so bottles of bath bubbles get one in your choice of scents & pour into an unbreakable cup to take into the bathroom with you.Add a handfull of
a) raw oatmeal
b) coffee grounds
c) epson salts
d) sugar
or any other items you wish or a combination of any or all.
you just need to add enough bath bubbles to cover this to make into a thick gloppy paste.
Do all this as your water in the bathtub runs.
Another inexpensive treat is to buy a can of coconut milk & add about a tablespoon of it + Tblsp of honey & slather this warmed mixture all over while the tub runs water this is allowed to soak in.Dont worry it rinses off easily
Cap the milk for the frige til next time or use in coffee.
I have looked a several easy recipies online & they tell you items to mix.
