Blending Procedure:

1. Combine the sugar and sweet almond oil in a large bowl and stir well to combine. Add the lemon juice and stir again. Finally, add the honey and lemon essential oil and stir again to mix.
   
   
2. You should have a grainy paste. To use, stand naked in a tub or shower and scoop the scrub using your palms. Begin massaging body, extremities first, in circular motions to exfoliate and cleanse.
   
   
3. This mixture is oily and so you will have to be especially careful that you do not slip in the tub!
   
   
4. After you're finished, you can cleanse with soap or bath gel as usual if you'd like to remove some of the excess oil from your skin ... which should feel polished and luxuriant after your treatment!
   
   
5. You can make this product ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator but let it get to room temperature and stir well to mix before using. It should last a few weeks if fresh ingredients are used and it is kept in an airtight container.

"I varied this recipe a little & it's still amazing :) I used shea oil instead of avocado oil & vanilla essential oil instead of lemon essential oil. I bet it's even better with the exact ingredients called for! Thanks for sharing the recipe :)"

"This is just fantastic. I was addicted to it from the first use - I tend to get about 6 full body scrubs from it - and I couldn't be without it. Nor could my husband, who is addicted to it too"
