Homemade beauty: Part III

The third instalment of the homemade beauty posts as the first homemade facial type thing I discovered. It's still one of my faves. This one is the lemon and sugar scrub.

Place a bit of sugar in a bowl. Choose your type of sugar based on how grainy you like your scrubs. Go for caster sugar if you want a light scrub or a plain white or raw sugar if you want it super srubby! Then just put a bit of lemon juice in the sugar. You only need a bit of lemon.

Then pop this on your face/body/feet and leave it for a few minutes. Scrub again as you rinse it off.

Apparently the sugar works as the scrub part but the lemon eats away the dead skin cells and cleanses the skin. Yuck but great at the same time! And the best part of this scrub - it tastes delicious. A bit like a lemon meringue pie.

Give it a go. It's a good one!
