I have recently come to love using essential oils.  This Lemon Sugar Scrub that I made was really simple, smells great and makes your skin nice and smooth!  There are lots of recipes out there for different scrubs using essential oils, but I’m sharing how I made mine simply because people make them lots of different ways!

Ingredients:
12 drops of Lemon Essential Oils (I used Young Living)
2 cups of Granulated Sugar
1/2 cup of Coconut Oil (I used Spectrum Organic Coconut Oil)
3 tablespoons of lemon zest

Directions:
Place coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl and melt for 25 seconds.  Add in the lemon zest and the drops of Lemon Essential Oils.  Slowly add in the sugar making sure to mix really well!

I placed my sugar scrub in little mason jars.  I gave them as gifts to my SNAP secret sister and roommates.  I also gave a jar to my son’s teacher for Teacher Appreciation Spa Day!

To use:
Simply rub into your skin and rinse with water!  Your skin will feel nice and smooth and smell nice and lemony!
