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 love a good scrub and I have all of these items on hand so I'm definitely making this asap! Thanks so much for sharing!

    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

      January 22, 2016 at 12:34 am

      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!

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
