DIY Lemon and Baking Soda Scrub

This easy-to-make scrub combines lemon juice and baking soda to create a natural exfoliant. It’s a popular choice for those looking to refresh their skin using ingredients commonly found at home.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• Optional: a few drops of water to adjust consistency

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix the baking soda and lemon juice until a paste forms. If the mixture is too thick, add a few drops of water to reach a spreadable consistency.
2. Apply the scrub gently to clean, damp skin using circular motions. Focus on areas that may benefit from exfoliation, such as the face or hands.
3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry with a soft towel.
4. Follow with your usual moisturizer to keep skin hydrated.

Usage Tips

• Use the scrub no more than 1-2 times per week to avoid over-exfoliation.
• Perform a patch test before first use to check for any skin sensitivity.
• Avoid contact with eyes and sensitive areas.
