I used to buy a ton of cleansing scrubs until I ran across this post on a savings board... Figured i'd pass this tip to all my frugal friends on here...

*********************************************
A friend got one of those expensive spa "salt glow" treatments and raved about it, so I checked out a sample of Salt Rub from Origins thinking doing this at home would be a cheaper route. Wrong! $28 per jar. But that wasn`t going to deter me. I took note of the simple ingredients and I made my own salt rub. Use Epson salts for the bulk, then slowly mix in either almond (better) or baby (cheaper) oil until the mixture is like wet snow. Optional: Aroma therapy oil adds a nice scent. Swirl on body in a hot shower and viola! Gorgeous skin! Hint: If you don`t like the oil left on your skin, simply soap up afterwards - - you`ll still be silky.


Good stuff lemme tell ya!
