Lemon Sugar Scrub with essential oils. Perfect for dry winter skin

Winter has arrived and has brought very cold temperatures and harsh winds. That means dry and chapped skin has arrived.

I love making this lemon sugar scrub for myself to help with my dehydrated skin. I also enjoy giving it away for gifts. It is super easy and cheap to make.

Everyone loves a good sugar scrub and you can always change up what essential oils you add to the scrub.

I love pairing my scrub with the new Jergens Wet Skin moisturizer. I exfoliate with the scrub and then moisturize. It instantly locks in moisture and absorbs 2x faster.

Being a mom to three boys means I am always short on time and rushing to get ready. My skin is always so dry in the winter but I don’t always take the time to make sure I moisturize.

Applying the moisturizer to my wet skin before drying off makes sure that my skin gets the moisture it needs. I keep it right by the shower so I remember to use it before drying off.

The coconut oil moisturizer is my favorite. The smell is amazing and pairs well with my sugar scrub.

    Is using this everyday too often?
    • Sarah Halstead says

      Probably best to do every other day or every two days.

    I really want to try this, where do you get the coconut oil and the essential oil? Thanks so much
    • Sarah Halstead says

      January 25, 2016 at 4:09 pm

      I buy my essential oils from Young Living https://beta.youngliving.com/vo/#/signup/start?site=US&sponsorid=2218600&enrollerid=2218600 and the coconut oil from amazon. http://amzn.to/1KAwqGu Those are affiliate links. :)

    My skin has been so dry lately. I need to try your sugar scrub recipe and that Jergens moisturizer.

    I have a great Meyer lemon tree and I'm always looking for ways to use my lemons. Does using fresh lemon juice instead of essential oils change the expiration of the scrub? ei: will it spoil at some point?
    • Sarah Halstead says

      January 24, 2016 at 3:26 am

      Not sure exactly because I always use essential oils, but from looking online I found the scrub should last 2-3 weeks and then be replaced. Also you may need more sugar since the juice from a lemon may be more then the drops of essential oils.

    I definitely need to take extra care of my skin during the winter. I'll have to make this scrub!

    I have everything I need for this.. I think I might make some later! I bet peppermint oil would be good in it too!
    • Kelly says

      Just warning you.. Don't use peppermint in any body scrub during the winter. I made this mistake. I froze for at least an hour after I used it. It seriously cools your skin.
      • Sarah Halstead says

        January 22, 2016 at 8:07 am

        Very true! Would be good for summer time though!
