Main ingredients
- 1 cup fine granulated sugar The primary exfoliant.
- 2 to 3 tablespoons fine sea salt or table salt Adds extra exfoliation.
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil (sweet almond, grapeseed, or fractionated coconut oil) Choose based on your desired texture.

Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, add the sugar and salt. Stir to blend.
- Add the oil and mix until evenly moistened. It should have a damp, sandy texture that clumps when pressed.
- Stir in the honey, mixing well so it disappears into the grains.
- Add the lime zest and optionally, a small squeeze of lime juice. Begin with half a teaspoon to avoid making it too runny.
- If desired, add a few drops of lime essential oil and stir well.
- Spoon the mixture into a clean, dry jar and seal.
Notes
Use on damp skin, massaging gently in circles. Avoid sensitive areas, open cuts, and freshly shaved skin. Store in a sealed jar for 3 to 4 weeks.
