Lemon Sugar Scrub Recipes
A New Twist

"Wake up to a refreshing scent!"

Sugar scrub recipes are easy to mix up in a couple of minutes. When you want to clean your skin and lighten it at the same time one of the neatest ways to do it is by using items you already have in your kitchen. Lemons are natural skin exfoliators and using them in your sugar scrub will give it an additional boost. The fragrance is divine!

Lemon Skincare Tip

The most important part of using any type of lemon skin care product is to make sure that you dilute the lemon juice.

Why? Because lemon has a very high pH factor. It isn’t suitable for using on your skin by itself. When combined with water, it changes the pH to a more acceptable level.

The first recipe combines the acidity of lemons with the natural acids found in sugar. The second recipe will show you how to make a moisturizing sugar scrub.

Lemon Sugar Scrub

Take 1 lemon and roll it on the counter while pressing. This will “mush” the inside of the lemon so that it will be easier to extract the juice.

Now, just cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into a small cup or bowl. Mix with an equal amount of water.

Begin by adding a tablespoon of white granulated sugar into your the lemon water and stir. Continue adding small amounts of sugar until a paste is formed. Use in the shower.

Simple Tip
This mixture also helps to fade self-tanning mistakes. Use only a light rubbing motion because you don't want to overdue it!


Moisturizing Lemon Scrub

If you want to transform your lemon sugar scrub into a moisturizing sugar scrub it's possible by simply adding almond oil. Almond oil is perfect for using in makeup and skincare recipes.

To modify your mixture simply add a little almond oil by the spoonful and mix to the desired consistency. It will be approximately 2 parts of your lemon sugar to 1 part almond oil.

* Never use almond oil in a skin care recipe if you are allergic to nuts!

Lemon Sugar Body Polish

You can even transform your lemon sugar scrub into a body polish. Simply mix it with an equal amount of liquid soap! It makes the perfect quick body scrub.

Sugar scrub recipes will last for several days if you keep them in your refrigerator. Remember, you can substitute other oils in your recipes. Some women prefer to use vegetable oil.

You can enhance the fragrance even further by adding a few drops of your favorite essential oil. Sugar scrub recipes are perfect for experimenting with because the ingredients are inexpensive and can be mixed quickly.
