For a fresh looking skin see the details on how to do a Lemon & Sugar Body Scrub below
What you’ll need:
- 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar; divided
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (almond oil will also work)
- A mason jar, or some container
- Lemon
What to do:
Put sugar in a large bowl. Set aside. Measure out 1/4 cup of coconut oil and place it in a microwave safe bowl. Heat coconut oil in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or until the oil is melted. Pour oil over sugar and mix to combine. Using a zester or small grater, zest the rind of 1 lemon. Then, cut zested lemon in half and, using a juicer, juice the lemon and remove any seeds from lemon juice. Add lemon juice and zest to the sugar mixture and stir to combine.
(If sugar scrub is still too “wet”, add up to 1/2 cup more sugar until desired consistency is reached.)
Grab a jar or container of some sort to put the scrub in and voila!
