 What you will need:

 - 1 Tbls. Olive oil
 - 1 Lemon
 -  3 1/2 Tbls. 100% Pure Honey
 - 1/2 Cup Granulated sugar
 - Tupperware (I bought a glass jar) for storage
 - Plate
 - Fork
 - Measuring cups

 STEP 1:
~ Cut and squeeze your lemon into plate.

 STEP 2:
~ Add the 1 Tbls. of Olive Oil.

STEP 3:

~ Stir together.

*Warm up the honey in the microwave for a few seconds to make it easier to pour and measure.

STEP 4: 

~ Measure and add the 3 1/2 Tbls. of Honey.

 STEP 5:
~ Stir again.

-The consistency at this point is still liquidy, it is still not thick. It will thicken up in the next step.

 STEP 6:
~ Add 1/2 Cup of sugar. Best way to mix is add portion of sugar then mix together, add more sugar mix together, add the rest of sugar and mix really well together.

 - By now the consistency of the scrub has become a lot more thick. Reminded me a little of apple sauce.

 - You may also add some more sugar if you think there is not enough, to get the scrubbing job done.

  








 STEP 7:
 ~ Pour into jar.

If you are using exfoliant for your face, grab exfoliant your fingers and apply to your face and rub on in gentle  circular motions. Leave on face for 1-2 minutes. Rinse.

If you are using exfoliant for your body, apply exfoliant to your whole body, Best if you focus more on your what may be more of your rough areas such as elbows, knees, feet etc. Rubbing the exfoliant on those areas in circular motion for 3-4 minute. Rinse.

HOPE THIS HELPS!
