Sugar scrub is great for your skin and best of all this recipe has all fresh ingredients you can find at home with no preservatives or chemicals. I makes a lovely gift too!
Ask for help from an adult when cutting the lemon and using the grater if you are in Primary School. Remember although this body scrub smells sweet and delicious it is NOT EDIBLE.
Ingredients:
1 lemon
1 - 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon coconut oil (you can also use olive oil or grapeseed oil if you don't have coconut oil)
1 tablespoon unscented liquid hand soap
You'll also need:
A clean jar
knife
spoon
