Lemon Vanilla Sugar Foot and Hand Scrub

IMG_9419.JPG

My sister just had a birthday (happy birthday little sista)! As a special present for her birthday I wanted to make her a foot scrub we recently received as a favor at our cousin’s wedding shower. My sister was so disappointed she used up all her scrub so fast. I thought what a better gift then to surprise her with a huge homemade batch. The original recipe made a small batch so I quadrupled it and added one of my favorite ingredients pure vanilla extract for an additional pinch of love. For the original recipe check out DIY lemon sugar scrub.

You will need one quart sized mason jar.

Ingredients :
1 cup of Coconut Oil
1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4 large lemons)
4 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
1 TB pure vanilla extract
The zest of 4 lemons

Directions:

Zest 4 lemons with microplaner and set zest aside.

Juice the lemons and place juice & 3/4 of the zest in a medium to large bowl and coconut oil. Mix with whisk to blend coconut oil lemon together.

Add more sugar if you want a thicker consistency or more coconut oil if you want a thinner scrub.

Add vanilla extract and whisk.
