As part of my part-time librarian job, I get to plan events for our Mom's Night Out program at the library. My co-worker and I put together a night out that included a book discussion of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake, lemon cupcakes, and a brown sugar lemon body scrub that I came up with. We had the participants put the scrub together (see photo below), and then place the scrub in baby food jars that I had been saving for a while. (I did make some of A.J.'s baby food, but did supplement with Earth's Best jarred foods). This is sooo ridiculously easy to make and fun to use, that I had to share the recipe. The smell of this scrub is heavenly!
Ingredients:
6 tablespoons of brown sugar
3 tablespoons almond oil (or oil of your choice)
8-12 drops of lemon essential oil
Stir all the ingredients together. To use, rub the scrub on your skin in a circular motion and rinse in the shower. Pat skin dry.
Scrubs are excellent for exfoliating skin and improving circulation. Lemon is a natural anti-bacterial and helps to remove toxins from the body.
