Lemon and Honey Scrub‏

The sweet smell of honey and lemon leave your entire body skin soft and
smooth.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup sweet almond oil
4 teaspoons lemon juice
4 tablespoons honey
4 drops lemon essential oil

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.
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.
This mixture is oily and so you will have to be especially careful that you
do not slip in the tub!

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 .

I spotted this while looking around the site and was wondering do you think that another scent could be used like orange or lime? I'm not overly fond of lemon but love the idea of making my own scrubs. I have made balms and a few lotions but have yet to try a scrub. I made a bath salt but never got the chance to use it (I have a son that stole it and the bath oil I made). I have found several great ideas here to share with my little one, here's hoping that I can keep some of the creations to myself.  

I'm thinking you can sub the lemon with orange or lime. I know I've considered making sugar scrubs from scratch too.

I love making salt and sugar scrubs. This lemon and honey one sounds yummy. I could use olive oil to replace the sweet almond couldn't I?

Ooh, I love the orange idea, Amber!

Cait was the one who came up with putting orange in this hehe. Thanks anyway!
