How to make a body scrub

Body scrubs are physical exfoliants that mechanically remove dead skin cells. The “scrub” texture usually comes from a mixture of sugar or salt suspended in an oil base. While some scrubs (especially those in a DIY kit) contain large particles of salt and sugar, the better ones are made with fine, luxurious particles that polish the skin without being abrasive.
