Salted Lemonade Lip Scrub
Alright. So there are days I like to consider myself fairly adventurous when it comes to food. So when I saw a recipe online for a Salted Lemonade, I was both horrified and curious. Salt? With lemonade? Say it isn’t so! Well, I just had to try it. The first time I made it, I felt it was just too much. Too salty and too sweet all rolled into one. The second time I made it, I used a much lighter hand. I had much better results. It was fresh, sweet and delighted the taste buds. Come join me for a lip scrub that is as fun and refreshing and unique as the Salted Lemonade that inspired it.

Mixing Salted Lemonade Sugar Scrub
I’m confused, ingredients list says just lemon EO, but instructions says margarita flavor oil. Does it need both?
Barb,
That is my error! Sorry. I think the heat has gotten to my brain and I am not thinking straight. I have corrected that error. Thanks for catching it!

Sorry, one more question… Did you mix this using a food processor? Is that what the picture shows?
Yes! We did use a small food processor. You can use a hand mixer if you have one. Either one will work.
Cheers!
