Organic skin care - Lemon Scrub

There is a lot of harsh chemicals in many products these days! So why not make your own organic skin care treatments at home? Scrubs, cleansers, face masks etc...! You will be surprised at just how amazing the difference is and you can get it all from your kitchen! ( Well most the products!)

In this blog I will tell you how to make a good body exfoliater yourself to prep your skin for the warmer months after the winter season has soaked up all your moisture!

A good body scrub I make myself which is soo easy to make is the Lemon sugar scrub.

This scrub is best used just before you have a shower, I do this in the evenings so while I sleep my skin has time to rejuvenate!

1. Make sure you have 1 lemon, 5 tablespoons of castor sugar, 1 tablespoon of olive oil & about 6 drops of rose hip oil.
2. Combine all these ingredients into a bowl, you can store this afterwards in a plastic tub and it can last you about 2 weeks.

It is best to exfoliate your body 2-3 times a week. It also depends on how dry your skin is.
This body scrub is great for dry skin as the sugar wipes away all the old dead skin cells, and the oils add and lock in moisture while the lemon brightens the skin and gives you a fresh ZING!

Happy Scrubbing!
