Hi friendssss! I’m back with another DIY. Last month we chatted Peppermint Bath Salts and this month we are jumping into Spring with a yummmmmy DIY lemon body scrub! Keep reading for the recipe and if you are looking for more beauty diys, make sure you check out Taylor’s DIY Beauty resource page! This lemon scrub is definitely a body scrub you want to make ASAP!
It’s so super easy to make and it will keep for a few months in an air tight container so you can make enough for a few showers!
You only need a few ingredients and it’s super easy to whip up in a mini bowl and then transfer over to an airtight container so that it keeps. You can add some real lemon juice or just stick to the essential oil, or use one or the other. It’s completely up to you.
You can use it to exfoliate your lips or face and even in the shower for your legs before or after shaving to get rid of all the dead skin cells.

It looks great! And probably smells even more wonderful!
Sounds divine! Have pinned to try later.
This looks SO easy and I bet it smells amazing!! I really need to try making myself a body scrub sometime.
Simple and what a nice result, too! Thanks so much for taking the time to link up with us over at the #HomeMattersParty – we hope to see you again this Friday! Feel free to bring a friend!
This is the BEST SCRUB EVER!!! ( I did eliminate the olive oil tho.) I love the fresh lemon scent. It’s even more wonderful if you scrub a bit, leave it on for about 15 minutes to LOVE UP YOUR SKIN then dry scrub it off. Rinse with warm water, and then use your favorite moisturizer.
Going to try this. A friend brought over a giant bag of lemons off her tree and I have no idea what to do with them…until now. I’ve tried the peppermint scrub and love it. Visiting from Turn It Up Tuesday party.
this scrub looks great, and doesn’t seem too similar to dessert which some of the sugar scrubs out there may be! thanks so much for sharing on craft schooling sunday!
What a great and easy to make body scrub. I love how soft body scrub makes your skin, and really love the fact that it uses essential oils. Thanks for sharing on Inspire Me Monday! I hope you have a blessed Easter
