    I love this DIY Lemon Sugar Scrub. It is time to pamper yourself or your mom this Mother's Day with a delightfully indulgent sugar scrub! It's so easy to make with only 3 ingredients and can be whipped up in a matter of minutes.

    Maybe even pair this super easy scrub with some other items like a pumice stone, nail polish, heat wrap or lotion to make a fabulous spa gift basket.  You could add in a massage gift certificate and have the perfect gift for Mom. This would also be a wonderful way to say thank you to the special teachers in your life too!

    DIY Lemon Sugar Scrub

    DIY Lemon Sugar Scrub:

    Supplies

    2 Cups White granulated sugar
    ¼ to ⅓ cup Coconut Oil (or grapeseed oil)
    5 drops Lemon essential oil or 1 tablespoon Lemon Rind
    Glass container with lid for the scrub

    Directions:

    Step 1:

    In a mixing bowl add 2 cups of white granulated sugar

    Step 2:

    Slowly mix in the coconut oil until the sugar is a nice soft consistency. It shouldn't be too oily, but more fluffy.

    Step 3:

    Add a few drops of lemon essential oil (you can use peel but do not use juice as it will grow bacteria).

    Step 4:

    Scoop the sugar scrub into a jar and decorate the jar as you see fit!

    Step 5:

    Slather the sugar scrub on wet hands or feet to exfoliate and rinse clean. Sit back, enjoy and take a few minutes for yourself! You deserve it!

      A great homemade pampering gift. I like the idea of making it part of a spa-themed basket.

        It will depend on your container size. I normally purchase 1 cup size or use a recycled jar with lid. Jelly Jars work great!

        I would think this will be one serving because once you add the oil to it it condenses down if that makes sense.
