Have the cold winter months left your skin looking tired and pale? Try out this DYI lemon scrub. I promise you won’t regret it.

The cold first got to my lips, but soon after my face also started to look dry and dull. My usual glowing complexion? Absent. Unexpectedly enough, it wasn't an expensive skin care product, but a household remedy that brought my complexion back to life: a lemon face scrub.

This is what you need:

  • 70 g cane sugar
  • 2 tbs. argan oil
  • 2 tbs. cold pressed native coconut oil
  • 20 drops of lemon essential oil
  • 1 tsp. zest of an organic lemon
Primavera Base Oil Argan Oil Organic (Body milk, Body gel, Body cream, Body lotion, Body oil, 100 ml)

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Take a dab of the scrub and massage it all over your face. Rinse the scrub off your face with water and massage the remaining oil into your skin.

Advantages

The fresh smell of lemon is sure to awaken your senses in the morning. On top of that, argan oil is a natural anti-aging remedy that contains vitamin E and stimulates cell regeneration and blood circulation. Coconut oil has a nourishing effect on your skin and contains antioxidants that also protects your skin against ageing. Last but not least, cane sugar exfoliates dead skin cells off your skin and contains glycolic acid, boosting the production of collagen.

If your skin doesn’t feel soft and delicate after this treatment, nothing will. Have fun with your very own DIY face scrub!

As a massive Disney fan, I see the world through rose-tinted glasses. I worship series from the 90s and consider mermaids a religion. When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
