While the weather outside is frightful, staying inside is delightful. Unfortunately, the dry air, the cold, and the indoor heat is doing a number on my skin. Every day I seem to discover another patch of dry skin. Even my lips are chapped. This is the time of year when I begin to make my own skin scrubs. They’re usually easy to make, they’re low cost, and they get rid of dry, cracked skin. A few years ago I discovered this Homemade Lemon Sugar Scrub Recipe. I don’t remember where the recipe originated. I think I found it in a book that was titled something like, “Homemade, Best Made.”
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 5 drops essential oil in the scent of your choice
- Mix all ingredients together and store in lemon keeper. Add a bow if desired. Rub scrub onto body, rinse off.
You can also make a salt scrub by substituting 1/2 cup coarse sea salt for the sugar. Either way, the scrub makes my skin feel great.
Do you have a great craft idea using unusual objects found around the house?

I’ve heard before that lemon scrub was a wonderful exfoliant for the skin. I’m all for using natural products to take care of my skin, especially since it is sensitive.
