Pink Lemonade Sugar Scrub Recipe

Summer's here, so it's the perfect time to sit outside and sip iced tea or lemonade.  I prefer pink lemonade, so that's what we usually have on hand.  Pink lemonade always reminds me of summer, and I always need a good hand scrub in the summer.  We plant a large garden--over an acre!--so my hands tend to get quite dirty.  I use a scrub to clean them after working in the dirt.  The clay in our soil is wonderful for our garden, but it's not so great for my hands.  This pink lemonade hand scrub will moisturize as it cleans for soft, smooth hands.  The added melt and pour soap also keeps your hands from getting excessively oily, and it also helps remove more dirt and grime.
