You can make a quick and great body scrub by mixing brown sugar with a bit of olive oil or baby oil.

Anyone else know of any good ones?

Here's another...

Oatmeal soap/Body scrub

1/2 cup oatmeal or cornmeal
1/2 cup soap pieces (small pieces or hotel size bars)
1 to 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 to 2 tbsp. water
A 6-inch piece of rope or cord with a knot tied at the end of it

Place the oatmeal (or cornmeal) and soap in a blender. First blend, then pulse. Pulse until the mixture is fine. Transfer the mixture to a large, deep bowl and add the oil and water. Form the mixture into a ball and make a 1/8-inch depression into it using your finger. Place the knot of the rope in the depression and close the sides of the ball up around it. Let dry for 24 hours before using.

Note: Using oatmeal will make an oatmeal soap and using cornmeal will make a body poilisher/scrub type soap.

Scented Salt Body Scrub

3 cups fine sea salt
3/4 cup olive oil
3/4 cup sweet almond oil
essential oils as desired

Mix salt, olive oil, and almond oil in a glass bowl. Add an essential oil, such as peppermint, for scent. Store in a tightly sealed glass jar.

This scrub is perfect after a bath or shower while the skin is still warm and damp. Massage a tablespoon or two onto the skin in small circles. Leave on for five to 20 minutes, then rinse.
