Lemon Poppy Seed Cookie Scrub:
Bring on a glow! The natural vitamin C in highly acidic lemons helps rapidly turn over and brighten skin cells. Plus, the energizing citrus fruit helps deodorize and clean skin. This blend plays off a popular muffin recipe, with the added gentle exfoliation benefit of tiny poppy seeds.
Ingredients:
- 4 lemons
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup cornmeal
- ½ cup coconut oil
Directions: Zest the lemons, then leave the zest to dry for one to two hours. (If you don’t have a zester, remove the lemon peel with a vegetable peeler and then mince the peel with a knife.) In a bowl, mix poppy seeds, sugar, cornmeal, vanilla and lemon zest. Pour the oil over the ingredients and mix to combine. Store in a sealed jar for up to three months.
