Ingredients for DIY Lemon Sugar Scrub

1 cup sugar (using an organic one like this works well)
1/2 cup oil (almond, olive or coconut work best)
1/2 teaspoon vitamin E oil (optional – it helps preserve your scrub and provides a little extra softening)
15 drops lemon essential oil

How to Make A Sugar Scrub

Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix together. You can add more or less oil to your liking.
Store in an airtight container. Since this recipe doesn’t contain any preservatives, it’s best if it’s used within a month or two.

How to Use Your Sugar Scrub

Scoop a small amount of the Lemon Sugar Scrub in your hands with a spoon.
Scrub all over your hands or feet – or wherever you’d like a little extra softness.
Allow the scrub to sit on your skin for 3-4 minutes. Enjoy this time to rest and relax.
Rinse well and then pat dry with a soft towel.
