Selfcare Sunday: This lemon sugar body scrub is the most perfect weekend beauty DIY

DIY body scrub

Got some leftover lemons knocking around the kitchen? Want to get your skin looking smooth and summer-fresh? We’ve got you sorted.

We’re taking some time for a little R&R this weekend, starting by making this lovely body scrub – that will not only leave your whole body feeling baby soft but also smelling totally delish!

This is what you need:

1 1/2 cup raw sugar
3/4 cup olive oil
2 lemons

Here’s how:

1. Pour the raw sugar in a bowl and add the olive oil a bit at a time, folding in the sugar. Do not mix it too much. You want the sugar and oil to combine completely, but not break down. Stop adding oil when it becomes a thick paste.

2. Grate the zest of both lemons into the mixture. Then squeeze the juice of each, folding it in a bit at a time.

3. Transfer the scrub to a lidded container and it’s ready for your next shower! The lemon will leave a fresh, energising scent on your skin while the sugar mildly exfoliates so always remember to follow up with a moisturiser!
