We have a lemon tree in our yard. And while there are plenty of great desserts, marinades and of course lemonade you can make with lemons…I’m always looking for new and clever ways to use our abundance of fruit! New use…homemade Lemon Sugar Scrub!
A perfectly simple recipe for a DIY sugar scrub. And with only 3 ingredients required–you can’t go wrong!
- 2-1/2 C. sugar
- 1 C. extra virgin olive oil
- 4-5 T. lemon juice (to achieve scent of your liking)
Mix ingredients together in large mixing bowl and then add into a decorative canning jar or any jar that will seal closed. My jar was 16 oz. and there was still plenty remaining for my kids and I to use some a couple times (to give you a sense of how much this will make.)
Decorate as desired and then either keep for yourself or give as a gift. Since it’s the end of the school year, I stamped up the lid with a now retired CTMH Citrus Stamp Set, layered it on some of the Dotty for You Papers and added an organdy bow. Voila–a thoughtful and useful gift!
You should give it a try! I have lemons I can supply you! 🙂
Great idea!
