Ingredients:



  • 1 lemon
  • 5 tbsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil



Method:

  1. Mix the sea salt and olive oil in a bowl
  2. Add the juice of the lemon
  3. Use this body scrub to exfoliate and moisturize your skin in the shower



Why it works:

Olive oil contains a compound called linoleic acid. This compound prevents water from evaporating. This keeps the skin hydrated and moisturized. Olive oil also contains various antioxidants that help prevent anti-aging and skin cancer.
