Orange Peel Citrus Body Scrub

This is very refreshing during summer, be it day or noon or evening. Just rub on your body while showering. This uplifts your mood and you would smell all orange. This is not only aromatic, but also nourishes your skin.

I used fresh orange peels, didn't dry them. You can store them in a zip lock or a box in fridge so that you get to collect required amount of peel for your recipe.

This is all you need.

Orange Peel - a bowl full
Cold pressed olive oil or Sweet Almond oil (or both) - 1/4 bowl
Honey - 1/4 bowl
Sugar - 1/2 bowl
Essential oil few drops (Lavender / Rosemary etc.)

Blend the orange peel to a coarse paste. In a large bowl mix all ingredients to form a paste. You may add more oil / honey / sugar as required to balance the consistency. Store in a air tight container. Use everyday and this can last up to 2 week.
