Try these energizing lemon sugar scrub bars for softer smoother skin!
Also, If you’re looking for a similar sugar scrub bar that you can purchase, I LOVE the Kitsch Exfoliating Sugar Body Scrub Bar
while it has a warm sweet sugar smell, and is not lemon scented, like the homemade bars below, it’s basically the same concept, and it’s free of parabens, sulfates and artificial fragrance!
Both the DIY Lemon Sugar Scrub bars and the Kitsch Sugar Scrub Bars will gently exfoliate and give you silky smooth skin without the mess of traditional scrubs!
Most of you know, that I love making and using sugar scrubs and salt scrubs. They are easy and inexpensive to make, and are great for exfoliating and softening the skin!
In the Summer I love to make sugar scrubs and bath soaks using fresh citrus ingredients like this lime bath soak, lime sugar scrub, and lemon hand scrub is my all time favorite!
While I love scrubs, sometimes I prefer a more convenient way to apply it. This lemon sugar scrub bar is a soap, and exfoliating and moisturizing bar all in one!
It’s less messy and perfect to use in the shower! I also like to keep a bar at the kitchen sink to quickly wash and exfoliate my hands.
