DIY: homemade citrus facial scrub

This scrub is super easy to make! And it is very delicate, thus perfect for applying on your face. I cleanse my skin with the scrub several times a week, and my skin is smooth and soft :))

You'll need:
*coconut oil
*dried citrus peel


It usually takes 2-3 days for citrus peel to dry completely.You can use any citrus fruit you like, or also mix them together. So far I have used tangerine and grapefruit peels.

Start with grating fruit peel

I prefer to grate more than I need to use, and store the rest in a container for the next time. You can store it for months in a dry and dark place. 

Put the coconut oil in a jar, and microwave it for a minute or so, just to make it softer.

Add dried citrus zest to the coconut oil and mix well together. Since the zest is quite soft (compared to sugar or salt scrubs), I like to add a lot of it to the scrub. My oil and zest proportions are 1:1.  

And voila! Coconut citrus scrub is ready! :) enjoy!
