Lemon & Sugar Face & Body Scrub
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
Juice of 1/2 fresh lemon
1/2 cup of sugar [brown works well]
1 Tbsp of olive oil
1 Tbsp of organic honey [optional]
1 bowl with lid for storage
1/2 cup of sugar [brown works well]
1 Tbsp of olive oil
1 Tbsp of organic honey [optional]
1 bowl with lid for storage
Directions:Add lemon juice and olive oil in to a bowl and mix together. Add the honey and whisk or stir quickly until the ingredients bind together into a medium thick consistency. Add in the sugar and mix. If you sense that there is not enough sugar to get the scrubbing done, add a bit more.This is purely up to personal preference.
Tips:You can add or subtract the amount of olive oil and honey that you use depending on how thick you want your scrub to be.
I would keep the lemon to the juice of half freshly cut lemon for every 1/2 cup of granulated sugar.

How to Use
As a face scrub: Cleanse face prior to application (remove makeup etc). Apply to entire face with gentle circular motions. Leave on for about 10 minutes and rinse with cool water. Moisturize with your favorite moisturizer.
This scrub is ideal for people who suffer from breakouts and acne as all of the ingredients are highly beneficial to acne prone skin. Lemon tightens pores and evens out the skin tone, sugar removes dead skin cells and cleans pores, olive oil heals acne scaring, and honey prevents future breakouts.
*Be cautious of using on open wounds as the lemon may sting.
As a body scrub: Apply to body, paying extra close attention to elbows, knees, feet and hands (nails and cuticles especially) and rub in circular motions for 3 to 5 minutes. Rinse well.
Enjoy the silky softness of your impossibly smooth skin.
Stay Beautiful..
