Homemade lemon zest body scrub

This is a aromatic body scrub made from citrus fruit Lemon. We would use both lemon zest and juice in this scrub.

I grated the zest from 5 whole lemon then squeezed juice off them. Additionally you would some essential oil such as lemon or Bergamot or orange as these belong to citrus family. You could also use orange zest to enhance the citric fragrance. You would smell lemon if your bathroom after a shower.



Our main ingredients would be Lemon juice, Zest, 2 tb spn honey, Sugar, Oil.

  1. In a large bowl Add sugar, all citrus zest mix well.
  2. Add Lemon juice, honey  mix well
  3. Add few drops of each essential oils and mix
  4. Time to add little olive oil or sweet almond oil or virgin coconut oil, as preferred. I used sweet almond oil.
  5. Ensure the consistency is not too thick or liquid. Sugar would dissolve a bit but you should still have the crystals for exfoliating skin.
