DIY Lemon Sugar Scrub

Citrus is one of winter’s greatest gifts. As my backyard bursts with fresh lemons and oranges, I thought to myself, why not make a body scrub? This scrub is pore purifying yet deeply hydrating as it contains coconut oil. It feels like a luxury scrub and smells heavenly, yet only requires a few simple ingredients.

All You Need

1 c. sugar
1 lemon
1/4 c. coconut oil
1 orange

Directions

1. Combine sugar and coconut oil in a bowl. Mix well (I used my fingers)
2. Zest entire lemon and add to sugar and coconut oil.
3. Slice the same lemon and squeeze 1 half over the bowl of sugar and coconut oil. Save or discard the other lemon half. (I used it for lemon water, which you can read more about here)
4. Zest the orange until you get about 2 tbsp. zest.
5. Mix ingredients well. Ready for use!
