ADDITIONAL TIPS

  • Use freshly extracted lemon juice for best results.
  • Make sure the salt and sugar don’t dissolve in the solution soon after mixing and their grainy property is retained. If for that, you have to increase the amount of salt or sugar added, do so.
  • Avoid sun exposure immediately after using this body scrub.
  • Keep your elbows and knees hydrated. Use shea butter or cocoa butter at bed time everyday.
