Holiday Presents Part 2: Lemon Sugar Scrub!

Another stolen holiday gift from Pinterest was the Lemon Sugar Scrub. I had originally pinned this as a spring time gift idea - maybe for Mother's Day, but as I got to thinking, I realized that hands get dirty and dry in the winter as well, and so I decided to make it.

There are only three ingredients: olive oil, sugar, and lemon juice, so this recipe is simple and quick!

Step 1: Mix Lemon Juice and Olive Oil (tip for next time, use a little less olive oil than the recipe calls for - it came out too oily)

Step 2: Mix the sugar and oil with a spoon until crumbly

It should look a little like this...

Step 3: Add the lemon juice, this will make it shiny - and mix again

It should look like this - creamy and smooth


Spoon mixture into pint mason jars, add a bow and all of a sudden you have a simple, handmade gift for anybody!
