Scale
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar

- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil (optional)

Instructions
- Zest the lemon using a microplane or fine grater, avoiding the white pith.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup granulated sugar with the lemon zest and stir gently.

- Spoon the scrub into a clean glass jar, seal tightly, and label with the date.
Notes
Use fresh lemon juice and zest for best results. Avoid applying on broken or sunburned skin. Test on a small patch if you have sensitive skin. Store in an airtight glass jar in a cool, dry place and use within 2-3 weeks. Add more oil or sugar to adjust texture as needed.
