Luscious Lemon Sugar Scrub for Hands
For the past few months, I have been busy, busy, busy working on new items for my shop. In January, I opened my store on Etsy.com and by February I was almost sold out of inventory! So, I have been surrounded by old furniture, all of it clamoring for a makeover.
In the process of painting, sanding and all that fun, I destroy my hands. My only saving grace is to wash my hands with my lemon scrub throughout the day. Without it, a farmer would have better looking hands and nails than me!
For all of you out there that love to DIY, I thought Id share my recipe. Its easy, inexpensive and your hands will love it.
Heres what you need to gather on up:
- 1 cup safflower oil (great soothing properties and no scent)
- 1 cup white sugar (finer sugar makes a smoother scrub for hands)
- 5-10 drops lemon essential oil (I got mine at a local health food store) to your liking...it smells amazing!!
- 1 medium sized mason jar
Add oil to sugar |
Add essential oil drops and mix |
Fill a medium size mason jar with the mixture. This pack of jars I picked up at Wal-Mart just to have mason jars available ...they have a million uses, are inexpensive and have chic country style! |
Now, simply keep beside your kitchen sink and use daily! |
