When it comes to exfoliating and hydrating the skin, there’s nothing like a good, homemade scrub. Whether it’s for your face, lips, hands or entire body, you can whip it up quickly with things you have in the pantry. The base is usually sugar (white or brown), salt (Epsom or otherwise) or oatmeal, with the latter being the most gentle of the bunch. From there, you can just improvise with oils and fruit. Try one of these 50 sugar, salt and oatmeal scrub recipes or make a big batch for holiday gifts – each one is guaranteed to pamper.
