I love sugar scrubs, they are great for your feet and body in the summertime and feel so nice and refreshing. You can make your own sugar scrubs for a fraction of the store cost and with organic items, you will find in your kitchen. Read on to make a citrusy lemon sugar scrub to polish up your summer skin.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of organic sugar
- 1/2 cup organic extra virgin olive oil
- juice from 1 organic lemon
- organic lemongrass essential oil
Preparation:
Mix all of the ingredients together and store in a reusable container. My favorite jar is a small fat glass mustard style jar. When you are ready to enjoy, rub over your body, scrub, and rinse. If you have sensitive skin, as I do, avoid your face and areas that you recently shaved.
I have been using natural (commercial) bodyscrubs all winter and can second your recommendation. I use them in the shower (fast and refreshing) and this is the first year I can remember getting past November without dry scratchy skin. I’m telling all my friends and have won lots of converts.
