DIY Lemon Sugar Scrub:
Supplies
2 Cups White granulated sugar
1/4 to 1/3 cup Coconut Oil (or grapeseed oil)
5 drops Lemon essential oil or 1 TBSP 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.

How many scrubs does this particular recipie yield?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
It will depend on your container size. I normally purchase 1 cup size or use a recycled jar with lid. Jelly Jars work great!

How many does this make if I use a one cup size?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
I would think this will be one serving because once you add the oil to it it condenses down if that makes sense.
