Sugar cane produces glycolic acid, one of the natural alpha hydroxy acids that exfoliates the skin.

Sugar Rub 2

1/4 cup White cane sugar
1/4 cup Vegetable Glycerin (you can use almond oil, grape seed oil, avocado oil)
Small amount of aloe vera gel, vitamin C crystals, or anything healing that dissolves in water
1 or 2 drops of essential oil (I recommend orange and lavender)

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Scoop some of the scrub onto your hand and massage gently onto your skin for a minute (the scrub will actually tighten onto your skin like a masque). Leave on for 3 to 4 minutes before rinsing.

Play around with these recipes and get the one that suits you. 

You can find vegetable glycerin and the other ingredients  at most health food stores. You can also get almond oil at a lot of grocery stores.  You can also try olive or coconut oil.

Baby oil is basically mineral oil with fragrance. It is not as good for you or the environment as vegetable oils or vegetable glycerin.
