    Value or smartprice (or similar) baby oil is SO much cheaper than olive oil, and won't make you smell like a salad! Just chuck in some salt or sugar and it's great.

    Hi, I deffo think the salt and oil works the best, for a while now I have been avoiding mainstream cosemetics beacuse I'm trying to go green/ Natural and I 've tried a few different ideas for scrubs as I can't buy one that I like, I like the surar and oil to but think the salt and oil works better, and you can experiment with different grades os salt from fine to corse sea salt , add a few drops os essentials oils, grapefruit, juniper etc are good for toning and celulite, or go for geranium , rose . lavender etc for a relaxing smell.

    I love brown sugar and olive oil as a scrub, plus a few drops of essential oil.

    Would love a good natural moisturising cream for dry skin? Have jojoba and macademia nut oil at home but not sure what to do with them. Also have chamomile oil but don't like the smell, I know it's meant to be good but...
