Ingredients you will need:

Sugar

Olive oil or coconut oil

Lemon juice and zest

Few drops of vanilla

Directions:

1.     Begin with a cup of sugar (you can add more for a larger quantity). This is for a test to see if your body reacts to the scrub. The sugar will be your exfoliater, to get rid of the dry, dead skin.

2.     Add enough olive oil so the sugar is no longer crumbly. This will be your moisturizer. Coconut oil will be a bit thicker so you might not need as much.

3.     Next add the juice of one lemon. This will give it a nice clean scent and be a cleanser for your skin.

4.     Vanilla extract is optional. If your using coconut oil then I suggest not to use vanilla. This is strictly for the scent.

5.     Mix it all together and you have your own scrub.

You may need to mix the scrub before use, as the oil may separate from the sugar. This is a good natural way of softening your body and getting rid of that dead dry skin.
