Warming ginger body scrub
Ginger has lovely warming properties & is high in antioxidants, making it great for anti-aging. It may also reduce the appearance of scarring & hypopigmentation.
Lemon is naturally astringent, detoxifying and clarifying making it a wonderfully bright addition to this scrub.
This is a lovely scrub to use in the cooler months when your body is craving the warmth.

To make your scrub last longer you can substitute the fresh ginger for dried or ginger powder. Chop dried ginger finely to avoid any large chunks in your scrub.
If you don't have lemon oil switch it for another you have on hand.
