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.

I made this this and my kids love it (and eat it in the shower ?)
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 🙂
