Looking for the perfect homemade gift for your mom or best friend? Make this super easy and beautiful DIY Lemon Sugar scrub
A couple days ago, I found a really cool website called u.Try.it. Amy has a ton of good recipe ideas that I want to try, but I decided to make Amy’s Meyer Lemon Sugar Scrub for Mother’s Day gifts this weekend.
I know that by posting this recipe, my Mom will probably find out about her Mother’s Day gift ahead of time, but I had to share this anyway! I didn’t have Meyer lemons for the scrub, so I used regular lemons instead. It turned out perfect!

I’m just wondering how this smells. I just tried some a few weeks ago with sugar, olive oil and lemon juice. It feels fantastic, but the olive oil is SO over-powering. Does this recipe smell more pleasant?
This scrub does smell pretty good. Most of the oil is coconut oil, which has a very light scent. You could probably replace the olive oil with more coconut oil, or you could use a lighter tasting (and lighter smelling) olive oil.
I can just smell this now (in my mind)…and it’s low-calorie…hehe!
Great way to use up all the white sugar sitting around the house!
