      Is it only the zest of the lime skin that you are using?

            I usually toss them in a jug of tap water or club soda /sparkling water for flavored lime water! So refreshing!

    Heather, I love body scrubs! I use them year round–Vermont air can be drying, especially since I work out a lot, and my feet, especially, need TLC. Never thought of making my own, yet it looks so easy to do. Saw the peppermint-lime one, then further down the page the Pina Colada–now, I can try these. Thanks for posting. I am not a DIY girl, usually, except for recipes, but these scrubs are worth trying.

      I’m so glad you’ll try these sugar scrubs Marilyn – they really are super easy to make and really are fabulous for winter skin! They really help my dry skin in our northern climate and they smell like the tropics too! 🙂

      I use it up before it goes bad so I don’t know the exact shelf life.

    Do you think this would work with fresh mint leaves instead of essential oil? I’m trying to use stuff I already have on hand.

    Reply
    • heather says

      May 6, 2018 at 7:40 pm

      It won’t be the same – essential oil is stronger than the leaves but you could try it!

    I just love the recipe and I’ll try it but I wanted to know should I grind the sugar to be smooth or just use it in its crystal condition? Thnx ??

      You can just use it as it is – I don’t grind the sugar when I make it! This sugar scrub is so amazing!!!

    Hi Heather I am going to try making your lime mint sugar scrub. Is this something you would use on your face or is it a body scrub?

    Reply
  16. heather says

    February 12, 2017 at 11:13 am

    I use it on my face and on my body Bev! The skin on my face is really sensitive so I gently pat/scrub it on my face. On my body I just go to town with it – its great too for the soles of your feet 🙂 Have fun making some!!

    Hi Nicola – I don’t know the maximum shelf life…I’ve always used mine up before it went ‘bad’. If you make it up according to my instructions for the jar size – you’ll use it up fast!

    Hi! I have made both the rose petal one and the lime mint. I find that the product is dry I the jar when I open it. How do I prevent that? Shouldn’t it be a bit moist?

    Reply

    It shouldn’t be really moist. Perhaps adding in more coconut oil will make it more moist for you…..
