Lemon Sugar Scrub (Pinterest)

I made this for a very special friend on her birthday! Super easy, smells fantastic, and your skin, so smooth. Enjoy!

Supplies:
  • 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar; divided
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (almond oil will also work)
  • 1 lemon or lemon natural oils
  • 1-2 Tbsp lemon zest

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. 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.
Pour your new, fancy lemon sugar scrub into the jar. Voila! All done! Super simple right!?
