Recipe of the Week: Lemon Honey Sugar Hand Scrub

Monday always seems to come so fast... it feels like I'm posting recipes every few days! Not that I mind, because I'm having lots of fun with them - aren't you? I'm a little behind in reviewing last week's recipe, but I haven't had the time to shop for canola oil yet. :)

This week's recipe is for a delectable Lemon Honey Sugar Hand Scrub. Exfoliating, conditioning, and nourishing, this recipe aims to do it all for dry, rough hands. I can't wait to try it out for myself!

As usual, check back later for my review... and stay beautiful!

Apply this mixture to clean hands, and nourish and exfoliate at the same time! It's also a great cuticle softener, and the zesty lemon oil will help freshen your nail bed.

Jenn's Review: This hand scrub smells great and is wonderful for dry hands! A little sticky, but it rinses off clean. My hands are now super soft and smooth! I recommend adding about 1/2 to 1 tablespoon more sugar for better exfoliation or very dry, rough hands, but it works great either way. Rinse clean with a mild soap and moisturize after, and you've got beautiful skin!

Always remember to seal your mixtures tightly and keep them away from moisture to prevent unwanted bacterial growth! Some recipes can last a very long time if you prevent contamination and use clean hands when handling.

Because you're using all-fresh ingredients, try not to make this one until you're ready to use it.

See you next week!
