Scrubs are so simple to make and great for beginner DIY-ers! I bet you have most, if not all, of the ingredients in your pantry right now. This Coconut & Lime Scrub recipe is so versatile, feel free to use whatever citrus fruit you have, substituting the lime for lemon, grapefruit, orange etc. I have made the move away from commercial gifts (where possible) and will often make a scrub like this, package it in a pretty jar, and gift it to someone I love.

Hi, can you please tell me how to dehydrate the zest? And how long will this keep? Thank you ?

You can peel zest with a veggie peeler, and leave in the sun or a low oven until crisp 🙂
I made this this and my kids love it (and eat it in the shower 😂)
