A lemon salt scrub makes a great homemade natural exfoliator! It helps remove dead skin cells, prevent clogged pores, and reveal more youthful looking skin.
Best of all, it’s all natural and you only need two ingredients from your kitchen!
Benefits of Using a Natural Exfoliator
The combination of lemon and sea salt, makes for a great natural exfoliator. Lemons are powerful antioxidants and aid in removing dead skin cells. They are also beneficial for the ability to act as a skin toner and remove bacteria on the surface of the skin. Since sea salt is grainy substance, it makes for a great exfoliating scrub. At the same time, sea salt also aids in drawing out impurities from your skin.
This natural exfoliator will make your skin feel revived and refreshed as it removes dead skin cells and minimizes pores. It will also aid in increasing blood circulation.
Many who have problem skin can also benefit from exfoliating as it can help eliminate dirt and dead skin cells clogging pores. This scrub has also been very helpful for me to help minimize the appearance of dark spots and acne scars.
Using a lemon and salt natural exfoliator is great as you don’t have to worry about any harmful ingredients being absorbed into your body. You can also adjust how gentle or rough you use it unlike micoderobrasion.
When to Use it and How Often
You can use this natural exfoliator daily, weekly, or just once a month depending on your skin type and the results you’re looking for.
When you use the lemon and salt scrub, you can start out gently exfoliating and see how your skin responds, particularly, if you have sensitive skin.

I am allergic to citrus. What can I use instead?
Can I use exfoliating brush to apply it?
Yes, you can.
I sure will
I hope it works for my entire legs and arm, need to exfoliate the dark dry skin, am hoping for a better result as the exfoliant scrub is right on my legs and arms this moment am typing, wish me luck!
Good luck! Keep us updated.
using a dry sea sponge on entire body works good . doubt it gets deep as this exfoliator recipe but its a quick / easy daily method before showering
Cool! I haven’t tried one of those sponges.
Does this also work on the rest of the body? Is it safe for other parts?
I also use it on any dry skin, it makes a great exfoliator!
