Ingredients:

• ½ cup granulated sugar (white or raw)
• ¼ cup coconut oil (solid, at room temperature)
• ¼ cup almond oil (or other carrier oil)
• Zest of 1 lemon
• Zest of 1 orange (or grapefruit or yuzu)
• 5-10 drops of lemon essential oil (optional)

2. Using a micro plane grater or zester, add the zest of the lemon and orange (or grapefruit, lime, kaffir) to the mixture.

How to Use:

In the shower or bath, scoop out a handful of the scrub and massage it gently onto your skin in circular motions. Focus on areas prone to dryness or roughness, like elbows, knees, and heels. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat your skin dry.
