I'm a huge fan of homemade sugar scrubs, but this lemon body scrub is made with Epsom salt instead.  Epsom salt is a great way to increase your magnesium level, in either a detox bath or a nice salt scrub. Magnesium deficiency is extremely common and one of the main causes of headaches.  If you feel yourself craving chocolate, chances are you need to up your magnesium.  Use this scrub and a nice long soak (at least 20 minutes) in an epsom salt bath.

Make sure when making any product using essential oils that you store in glass containers.  Since essential oils can break down plastics, we always recommend that you grab a pretty glass jar for gifting this scrub over plastic jars.  Add some ribbon, a bow, decorative flower and a simple label with ingredients and you have a wonderful gift that is perfect for Teacher Appreciation, Mother's Day, or holiday gift giving.

Looking for a different scent?  Test out various essential oil blends until you find the smell that suits you best.  We love blending citrus scents like orange, tangerine, and lemon together.  Another great combination is lemon and lavender.  No matter what scent you choose to add to your homemade body scrub, you'll find that the essential oils will assist in detoxing and revitalizing your body.
