Honey and Lemon! Yummy together and separately. I couldn’t resist using both of these ingredients two weeks in a row {Honey Lemon Smoothie}. Ever since I made the Sugar Cookie Facial Scrub for my friend’s baby shower I have been addicted to it. I used up all that was in my little jar, so I just HAD to make a new batch with some yummy summer time ingredients.
What you’ll need: 5 cups of sugar, 2 cups of olive oil, 2 lemons, 3 tablespoons of honey
Why I chose these ingredients:
Honey – helps protect skin from sun’s damage, treatment of minor acne, absorbs and maintains moisture {source}
Lemon – smooths complexion, heals acne, diminish scars {source}
Olive Oil – moisturizes skin {source}
Sugar – natural exfoliate, doesn’t clog pores, diminish acne, restores balance to skin’s oils {source}
Mix Sugar and Olive Oil. {The oil will separate from the sugar that is why I use a popsicle stick to mix the scrub together before I use it}
Squeeze both lemons into mix and stir. {Watch out for the seeds}
Add honey. {Yumm!!!}
Place in a cute jar and scrub that face, hands, knees, elbows, etc.! {One batch filled up a mason jar and 2 baby food jars}

So, in my dreams, you live way closer to me and could make stuff like this for me in real life! I just think you are so darn creative and crafty!
Hi! Can i substitute the two lemons with lemon juice from a bottle?
Hi Ashley! I don’t see why not, I believe I just used the actual lemon because it is nice and fresh. Thanks for stopping by
How long does this mixture stay good for? Do you keep it in the fridge or out at room temperature? Thanks!
I’ve had some in a mason jar for over 6 months and refill my little jar a lot, and keep it at room temperature, so it still has been good for me. The fridge might help the lemons keep their smell because they do lose the scent a bit, but I head if you add a little of lemon essence to it the smell will remain. Thanks for stopping by!!
