Strawberry Lemon Sugar Scrub

Strawberries are a natural source of antioxidants and vitamin C, which makes them great for nourishing dry skin. Lemon is also a natural source of vitamin C, an ingredient commonly used to lighten sun and age spots and even out skin tone.  Vitamin C is a natural astringent that tightens pores and brightens the complexion. Even though Strawberry Lemon Sugar Scrub has a deep, rich, color it will not stain your skin.
