Notes

With the lemon juice in the scrub, do u have to put it in the fridge so it won’t sour after a while?
Chrysa says
It is fine unrefrigerated. I think because it is so acidic the lemon juice stays good at room temp.
Kelly Grove says
Hi there! I love your recipe. It came out perfectly! I was wondering what size labels you recommended?
Chrysa says
I like to buy the full sheets of sticky label paper to print on and then just cut around the labels. Hope that helps!
Emily says
Hi, I am planning on making these as bridal shower favors… Just wondering how much this recipe makes?

It makes about 3/4 cup. You can easily double or triple for a larger batch.

No – just add in “as is”.
