Lemon-Brown Sugar Body Scrub

I thought this would be a good one to share, as I've used this type of thing myself, only I probably paid $10 for it! Ridiculous? No doubt, not to mention this stuff is all natural and look how easy it is.


Ingredients
- ¼ cup coarse brown sugar (to gently exfoliate without drying)
- 1 cup grapeseed oil (to moisturize)
- ¼ cup grated lemon peel (to invigorate your senses)

Directions
1. Mix together all ingredients.
2. Gently rub on your body in a circular motion. Concentrate on rough areas like elbows, knees and heels.
3. Rinse with water.
