DIY: Whipped Citrus Body Scrub

 Hey ya'll sorry for the lack of posts I have been very busy lately, but today I'm going to be posting 2-3 new posts. This post is going to be on a DIY whipped citrus body scrub, I thought this would be a great scrub to kick off the beginning of spring coming up in 2 days. For this scrub you can use any citrus fruit, and can even add crushed mint, rosemary or whatever herb you might want to add to your scrub. So now lets get to it!

Ingredients:

• Juice of 1 small to medium lemon, orange, or grapefruit I personally had too much juice, but it turned out ok.
• 1-2 tablespoons of your citrus zest
• 1 to 1 1/2 Tablespoons of honey
• 3/4 cups coconut oil
• 1-2 cups of sugar

 Step 1: First melt your coconut oil, and freeze to where their is a film of hardened coconut oil on top, if you want more information on how to do this look at my DIY Shaving Cream post. Next zest your citrus fruit, and then juice it. A tip for juicing a lemon is to roll it on the counter before you cut the lemon.

 Step 2: Put your zest in your lemon juice. By this time your coconut oil should be slightly hard, next whip it with a hand or stand mixer on high until whipped.

 Step 3: After your coconut oil is whipped add your juice, zest, and honey mixture to the coconut oil, continue whipping. Lastly add the sugar and whip until whipped.

Step 4: Enjoy your new body scrub, and wash away that dull winter skin, and enter spring with smooth glowing skin.
