Ahhh – time for a beauty treatment. It’s the week before Christmas and everyone needs a little TLC. So how about a Lemon Body Sugar Scrub???
Body scrubs are good anytime of year but really great in the winter. They slough off dead skin cells (wwww!) and give your skin a nice healthy glow and make you feel smooth and soft. It just feels good to do something nice for yourself! A little self indulgence!
Here is a picture of the finished product in a decorative wide mouth Mason Jar (I love these jars!). Use a scrub once or twice a week depending on how sensitive your skin is (for me it is once a week).
Now for the recipe: Lemon Sugar Body Scrub!
1 1/2 cups of sugar
1/3 cup of olive oil
1 tblsp of lemon juice
Add all ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly. It will look crumbly. If you want a more solid texture, you can ads a little more olive oil (this will help moisturize your skin). Once it is mixed well, transfer to a jar and store in a cool place.
That’s it! Super easy and really great for your skin. Just remember when using body scrubs to be gentle with your skin or you can cause irritation. You want smooth skin not a rash! 
After you use your scrub, wash with your normal cleanser. You will probably be able to tell a difference right away. Follow up with a great moisturizer (I use olive oil, palm oil or coconut oil) and your skin is sure to thank you!
Enjoy!
