Honey Sugar Lemon Scrub
Prep Time 2 minutes
Total Time 2 minutes
Makes 1 batch

Ingredients
  

  • 250g / 1 cup raw sugar or brown sugar (for face/sensitive skin)
  • 125ml / ½ cup coconut oil melted, or other oil like olive or sweet almond
  • 1-2 tablespoon raw honey
  • 15 drops lemon essential oil pure, therapeutic grade, see notes

Instructions
 

How to make

  • Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix.
  • Fill into a container or recycled glass jar for storage.

How to use

  • Apply small amounts of the honey sugar lemon scrub for each body part and rub or massage, with a little bit of pressure, in a circular motion. Be gentler on your inner thighs and chest area—and especially on the face.
  • Rinse off the peeling when you’re done. The redness of the skin is normal. It’s temporary as you’ve just increased the blood flow.

Notes

Recommendation: Please, read the whole blog post before making this recipe to avoid any damage to your skin.
Lemon Essential Oil: Using 15 drops equals a 0.5% dilution. You could use more, at your own risk. Lemon essential oil is quite a strong oil for our skin, so use it with care, please! Avoid sunlight for 12 hours after applying this sugar scrub as lemon is phototoxic and could cause skin irritations.
