This lavender and lemon body scrub is a great way to get rid of those winter blues and exfoliate, moisturize and rejuvenate skin!

One of the greatest things about diy body scrubs is that the possibilities are endless! Some of my favorites include a citrus sugar scrub recipe, brown sugar scrub and a sugar lip scrub.

I’m transitioning from lavender mint to lavender and lemon scrub this month, with an added twist to alleviate my dry skin.

The constant change in the weather in winter can leave skin dry and irritated. This body polish has a refreshing scent that renews skin while adding a little glow.

Tools to Use to Make DIY Body Scrub

• Mixing Bowl and Spoon or Food Processor
• Airtight Container – Weck Jars or hinged lidded jars work well

Lavender and Lemon Body Scrub Ingredients

• Vitamin E Oil – known for moisturizing, it prevents and treats dry, flaky skin. It’s said to be anti-aging, but there is little evidence to that. You can substitute with almond oil or grape seed oil which are available at your grocery store. Jojoba oil and coconut oil also work well.
• Sugar – white granulated sugar gently scrubs away dead skin. If you prefer, you can make it a salt scrub by simply replacing sugar with sea salt.
• Lavender Essential Oil – this calming scent promotes relaxation. You can substitute your favorite essential oil.
• Lemon Zest – the zest of 1 lemon adds an additional exfoliating element while adding natural fragrance.
• Lavender Buds – optional for a hint of sweet fragrance, color and texture.

One of the great things about this recipe is that you can make this to your preference. You can add as little or as much lavender or lemon zest as you want.

How to Make This Easy Body Scrub Recipe

1. Combine sugar and vitamin E oil in bowl with spoon. Mix Well.
2. Blend in lavender essential oils, lemon zest and lavender buds to your preference.
3. Store. Transfer mixture into an airtight container. Marinate 24 hours.

Simple and sweet, that’s how I like it!
