I like to use plain yogurt and spearmint tea leaves for a natural homemade body scrub:

1 table spoon of plain yogurt mixed with 1 tea bag of spearmint (dried). Open up the tea bag and sprinkle the dry leaves into the yogurt. Once it's mixed together it looks and feels like a scrub.

The dry tea leaves are great for exfoliating the skin (getting rid of dead skin cells). The yogurt helps smooth and soften. You can apply it to wet or dry skin. Leave it on for a few minutes and then rinse off.

You can use any herbal tea. I like spearmint because it cools the skin and it's supposed to be good for keeping acne under control.
