- mason jars
Directions
- Put the Epsom salt and coconut oil in a medium bowl and stir with a fork until thoroughly blended.
- Stir in the lemon zest.

Notes
Place a small amount in your palm and apply to clean skin in the shower; avoid sensitive areas; scrub gently and rinse. Oil separates, so mix well before each use. Because it contains fresh juice, keep it in the fridge and use it within a few days to a week, and within a few weeks at most. Bottled lemon juice kept in the fridge may help it last. Safety: patch test; lemon on skin can cause sun sensitivity, so rinse well and avoid sun on treated skin; salt stings on broken or freshly shaved skin; oil makes the tub slippery.
