My skin is so dull and lifeless lately. I can't bring myself to spen $20 on a container of body scrub LOL but I want beautiful glowing skin for the summer. Anyone know any homemade options?
I love using natural glycolic or lactic acids to exfoliate daily. I use a mix of Apple Cider Vinegar (AHA) and green tea as a toner or aspirin toner (BHA). I'll apply lemon juice on my skin, which leaves my skin incredibly soft and also lightens dark marks. I've used Greek yogurt too, but the liquids are easier to use on a daily basis.
I use equal parts brown sugar and honey. I'll microwave it to just mix the two a little better, and then I'll just store it in a small thing of tupperware. The molasses in the sugar is good for your skin, and the honey works wonders, too.
But if none of those work out for you theirs alot of drug stores that sell desent body scrubs for a nice price. You could try Avons "Naturals Ice cream scrubs" they are usually $8.00 but go on sale all the time for like $3.99 each. Plus if you dont like them you can return it and get yr $4 bucks back even AFTER you have opned it and tryed it :)

I make my own. I use a mixture of sugar, olive oil and you can add an essential oil if you like.
