an easy home made exfoliant is to use any white sugar, organic or not, to your current creamy or foamy cleanser. you only need less than teaspoon each time and i like to keep a container of it in the bathroom. sugar not only is a gentle exfoliation, it is also a natural humectant for the skin, so it will help to keep your skin hydrated and bring moisture to your skin.
for a body scrub you can also use sugar, but salt gives a little heavier scrub that's sometimes needed more.
i have used the sugar with my facial cleanser as often as every other day and my skin has felt great. it's nice to know that there is a good use to white sugar, other than making things sweet!
