Natural beauty: citrus body scrub

This bright, zesty scrub smooths dry skin and smells like sunshine. Mix up a small batch to use in the shower once or twice a week.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup organic cane sugar
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, softened
  • Zest of 1 orange or lemon
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey

Preparation:

  • Stir everything together in a bowl.
  • Spoon into a clean jar with a lid and use within two weeks.
  • Massage a small handful onto damp skin in gentle circles, avoiding your face.
  • Rinse well and pat dry. Watch your step, since oil makes the shower floor slippery.

Citrus can make skin more sun-sensitive, so this scrub is best used in the evening.
