1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 teaspoon orange juice
1 cup sea salt
1/4 cup grapeseed oil or olive oil

1. Wash all the fruits thoroughly and dry them completely. You need to peel the top layer of fruits so it is better to not cut them before getting your required zest. Once you remove the zest, now get the juice from all fruits.

2. Now combine salt, zest, juice and oil in bowl and mix them well with fork to make uniform texture.

3. Keep the container in fridge and use with in a week and make fresh batch again.

4. Use the scrub instead of soap or body wash during bath. Apply to your skin in small, upward, circular motions. Massage the
scrub in small circular motions, starting with the legs and arms, making your way up to the torso, ending at your heart. Rinse well.

Citrus is known to increase your sensitivity to the sun, so it is best not to use this directly before sunbathing. Wear a sunscreen such as the sun protection lotion and protective clothing if you go into the sun.
