Lemon Sugar Scrub


The summer heat has really done a number on my skin. It’s definitely been in need of a little TLC. So, I decided to make a homemade lemon sugar scrub, and I wanted to share the recipe with you.

Ingredients
zest of 2 lemons
3 TBSP olive oil
1 cup of sugar
juice of 1 lemon

Directions
Zest two lemons and add to a small bowl. Juice one of your lemons; try giving it a quick roll on your kitchen counter. This will make juicing the lemon a lot easier and you’ll get more juice out of it. Then, add 3 TBSP of olive oil and 1 cup of sugar to your bowl. Stir until everything is well combined and ta-da! You have a wonderful smelling scrub that’ll remove dead skin and re-hydrate your dry skin. You can use this on your hands, feet, elbows, and knees.

An awesome bonus…this scrub looks so pretty! Often, scrubs look drab, but this one sure doesn’t! The bits of yellow lemon zest poking out of the sparkly sugar makes using this a delight. 

My skin feels silky, smooth, and revitalized. Give it a try and yours will be too.
