Lemon and Sugar Body Scrub

Note: When scrubbing, use firm vertical strokes or a circular motion starting with your neck and working down.

½ cup to 2/3 cup granulated sugar
juice of one lemon

Mix the sugar and lemon to form a paste. While showering, gently rub your entire body with the paste for about a minute in each area. You can even use the lemon rind to gently rub your knees and elbows. Rinse off.

Why it works: Sugar contains glycolic acid (an alpha-hydroxy acid) which helps remove old skin cells and healthy cells are restored. Lemon also contains citric acid which aids in the restoration of the skin.
