Lemon Essential Oil Sugar Scrub

There are so many wonderful ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen that can double in the beauty department. One of our favorite DIY projects is also a fantastic kitchen helper that also makes a great gift. We love creating wonderfully eye-appealing, lovely-scented sugar scrubs with items from the kitchen and essential oils. These scrubs will slough off your dry winter skin and leave your hands smelling divine. You don’t have to spend a lot of money buying these scrubs when you can make them for pennies on the dollar at home.

DIY sugar scrubs can be used on the body, face, hands, and even your feet. We love the idea of packaging sugar scrubs in little Mason Jars with party-themed DIY tags to give to our guests as take aways they’ll enjoy for months to come. This DIY Lemon Essential Oil Sugar Scrub is one of our absolute favorites so we decided to share it with you.

  1. I love a good scrub and it's always a good thing to be able to make it yourself. Instead of having to purchase it. Not just to say money, but sometimes the store runs out and its hard to find. Wow I am going to try this.

  5. I am going to try this tonight! I love homemade sugar scrubs, but adding lemon to it brings that to a whole new level. Lemon and peppermint are by far my favorite essential oils :)

  9. I love all kinds of sugar scrubs. Especially homemade ones. This looks amazing and I can already smell the fresh lemon scent. My favorite sugar scrubs are made for the lips. They taste great and your lips are so smooth and soft afterward.

  14. I have never made my own sugar scrub. I think it's such a cool idea though, and the options are endless. I think it'd be a good Mother's Day present for my mom too.

  22. I just recently incorporated a body scrub from ULTA into my beauty routine. My skin has never been softer. I absolutely love the idea of making my own scrub, especially since this would be a marvelous gift idea. I like how you've packaged your scrubs. Making them isn't super hard, but it just seems like so much thought and effort was put into it, making it a very special gift.

  23. I love using lemon essential oil. I just recently tried a sugar scrub for the first time, and I have to say I'm seriously impressed. It was a blackhead sugar scrub, and it amazingly got rid of all of my blackheads. I actually stared at myself in the mirror in disbelief.

  25. This sounds fabulous by the remarks but I'm concerned with the ingredients like sugar and dye.This isn't harmful to your skin?
