Making our own skin exfoliate has been the quickest and easiest body products we've replaced so far. Just two ingredients: about a cup of brown sugar and half cup or so of extra virgin olive oil. Mix the two ingredients in a glass container (we reuse glass containers with screw lids) massage gently into your skin, and rinse with water (no need for soap). The sugar removes dead skin and your skin will remain soft as a baby from the olive oil. We even use it on our faces and lips (don't rub hard). At first, we were a little worried that the olive oil would break our faces out, but it's done just the opposite......and we've been using it twice a week for the past year. You can find more body scrub recipes all over the web including Martha Stewart's site which includes cute labels for gifts, but personally, we like the ease, cost, and results of this recipe.
