An amazing body scrub that does wonders and leaves your skin super clean and soft is sugar, lemon & olive oil scrub.
Ingredients: Mix 5 Tbs sugar , 1/4 cup olive oil , 1/2 a lemon and 1ts of grounded cinnamon and rubbing it on your body, you can wash it immediately but leaving it for 1 or 2 minutes is better so that your skin will have enough time to absorb the olive oil.
A great addition to this scrub would be melted cocoa butter (take care it melts very quickly). Cocoa butter leaves skin smooth and is generally very good for healing scars, stretch marks and other skin problems.
Some prefer putting the warm cocoa butter after the scrub and leaving it in. Make sure you only add a little bit, a dollop or so, you don't want to have oil and sticky skin.
NOTE:
1) If you feel that this mask is very strong for your face. Limit using it to your body.
2)If your skin gets reddish take out the cinnamon from the mask.
3) If you have any skin allergies or your skin is very sensitive try this scrub on a small part at first.

Interesting recipes and great tip about leaving the scrub off your face. Body scrubs are often too strong to use on the face.
