Thread: Make a body scrub

If you're looking for an excellent exfoliant without dyes and preservatives, consider making it yourself. Try this recipe from Red Mountain Spa in St. George, Utah, which packs a twofold punch: The sea salt and oatmeal exfoliate skin, while the aromatherapeutic oils and honey moisturize, leaving a sweet ( but not overpowering) scent.
