Honey Won’t You Lemme(on) Scrub You

Standard

So anyone who knows me also knows that I LOVE lemons.  I put lemon in my drinks, things I cook, and I may or may not have snagged some lemons off a tree on the side of the road in Southern Cali and declared it one of the best days of my life (I know so lame – but fresh fruit and CA, you can’t beat that combo).

Anyway – when I need a pick-me-up, I love to throw together this quick and easy scrub.  It smells AMAZING and you can use it on your face and body.

Honey & Lemon Scrub

The goods:

  • 1/2 cup of sea salt. (The sea salt will exfoliate dead skin cells and aid the lemon zest in brightening the skin.)
  • 3 tablespoons of honey. (The honey will help to refine your pores while reducing inflammation.  Also a great moisturizer!)
  • 1 teaspoon of finely grated lemon zest.  (Mmm – LEMON!  The lemon zest is naturally high in vitamin C which will help to even out skin tone.)
  • 1 teaspoon of lemon juice.  (This really gives the skin an extra brightening boost.)

Now make it happen:

  • Stir all the ingredients until well-blended.
  • Rub the mixture over any dull or dry areas.
  • Rinse the mixture with lukewarm water.

***Bonus Tip – Try this scrub on your dry lips to make them soft, supple and oh, so kissable.
