All-Natural Moisturizing Kitchen Hand Scrub

. . .Olive oil moisturizes, lemon freshens and is especially good for removing onion and garlic odors from the skin, the sugar/salt combo exfoliates dry skin and renews the appearance of your hands.

Salt can be drying, so you wouldn’t want to make the scrub entirely of salt, but I added a bit for some coarser pieces. If you’d rather, simply replace the amount designated for the salt with additional sugar.. . .

The scrub is made with basic ingredients: Sugar, Kosher Salt, Lemon Zest, Olive Oil, Pure Lemon Extract (optional).

• 1 1/2 c sugar
• 1/3 c kosher salt
• zest of 1 extra large lemon
• 1 c olive oil
• 1/4 tsp pure lemon extract, optional

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well.

If you would like a slightly stronger fragrance, add the extract.

Spoon into a pretty jar, tighten the lid.

Wipe any spills or drips from the outside of the jar.

Alternatively, you can use orange or lime zest for a different fresh citrus smell. For an extra touch, tie a pretty bow around the jar if you plan to gift this scrub. This makes enough for a 1 pint canning jar
