I looked up a few recipes, but I haven't found they're all that much cheaper. (but I haven't looked at the price of OofO lately). You can mix almond oil with cornstarch and beeswax and add a little distilled water to make a nice moisturizer. Jojoba oil is also nice, because it's similar to skin oils. But you have to make small batches, or buy benzoin or other keeper/fixatives. Yogurt/skim milk things are great because the lactic acid is good for your skin, and I've never found a better scrub than honey & almonds. (but that's expensive). Allure magazine often does readers choice/best product awards, and I think I might have saved the last one - they always do one high end product and one drugstore product. If I still have it, I'll bring it to crown. If I don't, I think it's in this month's issue, so you can read it at the grocery store. :-)
