Home made Body Srub

salt is great on a callous or to remove mechanic's grease- but the crystals are sharp edged and can be too abrasive for constant use . Sugar is gentler and rounds off as it dissolves. So it is still a good exfoliant, but not as hard. so you are right to use it in shower gel. A jot of liquid soap in the salt misture will suds it up nicely. I do facials and I can't resist sharing with my clients what everyday products at home can be used for wonderful skin care. Almost everything we eat (not meat-lol).

I explore....LOL.

I usually have oils and such in he house. I had to get the turbinado at the store and I think its was about the same as regular sugar. The turbinado was on the baking isle at King Soopers. AS with anything, if you are getting all of the supplies as you initial investment then it might cost more at first, like stocking a freezer for the first time. Luckily, with scrubs and similar things you can use other ingredients and get a similar effect.

I will have to look at the box it came in for the complete description. I got my box at King Soopers, AKA Kroger's or City Market, where you find refined white sugar. The box says "certified organic" on the side. You can probably find it a health food stores too. It is a brown, raw sugar. The crystals are not uniform in size and are not nearly as fine as refined or brown refined sugar. Some scrubs resipes will include regular brown sugar with turbinado to add more variations in the crystals.
