DIY Lemon Sugar Body Scrub

Get your summer in full swing with fresh, glowing skin! This do-it-yourself lemon sugar body scrub is a natural, inexpensive way to exfoliate and nourish your skin -- using ingredients in your kitchen.


Lemons are great for removing blackheads, brightening your complexion, and fading self-tanner mistakes. Sugar is a natural exfoliant, removing the dull, dead top layer of skin to reveal softer, smoother skin.

What to do:

1. Roll and press lemon on the counter to make it easier to squeeze. Cut lemon in half.
2. Squeeze lemon juice into jar and mix with an equal amount of water to dilute it.
3. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and mix. Continue adding sugar to make a paste.
4. For soft skin, add drops of vegetable oil as desired to the mixture.

You can use this simple scrub on your body in the shower before cleansing with gel. Don't forget to be gentle when scrubbing. Store it in the refrigerator to make it last for several days. Enjoy!
