Day 8: Lemon Drop Body Scrub

With today's temps in Minneapolis forecast to reach the high 60s or even 70 (gasp!), the last pesky patch of snow in my yard is sure to melt. It's also a great day to scrub dry winter skin to give it a fresh, summery glow. I used jojoba oil, but olive oil, sweet almond oil or really any oil will work fine.


Yield: 3-4 full body applications

Ingredients

1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup honey
1 tablespoon jojoba oil
1 tablespoon vegetable glycerine
1 cup sugar

Directions

Combine lemon juice, honey, oil and vegetable glycerine in a bowl.

Slowly add sugar and stir to combine all of the ingredients.

If too runny, add more sugar to soak up the excess liquid.

Scrub head to toe (or where needed). I don't use it on my face, but it could make a nice face scrub as well.

Store extra in a container with lid for up to one month.
