You don’t have to break the bank to look and feel beautiful and refreshed. Here’s how to make your very own delicious body scrub.

What you’ll need:

1/2 cup sea salt
1/2 cup olive oil (alternatively, you could use any of the essential oils or your favourite brand of tissue oil)
Zest of a lemon
Zest of a lime
Zest of an orange

Step 1: Zest lemon, orange, and lime

Step 2: In a medium dry bowl, combine all ingredients making sure to not let any water touch them as it will dissolve the salt.

Step 3: Pour mixture into an airtight container and store in a cool dry place.

Step 4: Swirl ingredients together with your fingertips to mix before use.

Step 5: Clean body completely and just before exiting shower, apply Citrus Salt Body Scrub to body in a firm circular scrubbing motion with hands or a soft washcloth.

Step 6: Rinse off the mixture and pat your body dry with a clean towel.

And, viola! Now you have a lovely, fragranced  body scrub which leave your skin feeling fresh and smelling great.
