Lemon Hand Scrub
I have a seen a lot of recipes for Lemon hand scrub on the internet, however, I have modify that recipe. I live in the Midwest and winters here are hard on your skin. I was looking for a scrub that would not only exfoliate but moisturize my skin. While doing my research I found that Grape seed oil is used in many cosmetics. It's a traditional remedy for stretch marks and can be used on delicate areas of the face, such as under the eyes. Grape seed oil is high in vitamin E and spreads well on the skin. Linoleic acid, a main component of grape seed oil, has been used for decades to treat eczema and dry skin. I just love how my hands feels after using this scrub.
I found my Vitamin E oil and Lemon fragrance in the soap section of Hobby Lobby.
Once Mixture is all mix start filling your bottles. I found my bottles at Hobby Lobby too. I made a tag in my Photo Shop Element program cut it out and cut some pattern paper to back it then I tied it to the bottle with ribbon.
These are very easy and fast to make and would make excellent Christmas gifts for teachers, or great for anyone with very dry skin or who is suffering from eczema.
