Ingredients

¼ cup olive oil, or refined coconut oil (choose your favorite!)
½ cup sugar
zest of 2 lemons
1 small handful mint leaves, julienned

Instructions

Use a bowl to mix the oil and the sugar. It should be a nice scrub-like consistency.

Add the lemon zest and mint leaves. Scoop the mixture into a jar. Use it or loose it — this mixture only has a couple of weeks of shelf life, so you might  go for it and scrub-a-dub-dub!
