One of the best parts of summer is soaking up the sun. However, it’s no surprise that the harsh heat can come with some drawbacks, namely dry skin. Before running to the drugstore for an exfoliating scrub, think twice! Most over-the-counter products are loaded with chemicals. And after all, taking care of your body isn’t only about what you put in it—but also about what you put on it. So why not make your own safer, cheaper alternatives? We’ve compiled a list of ultra-easy, DIY body scrubs that will keep your skin healthy and smooth all season long.

Lemons are a major super food for the skin! The benefits are endless: they’ll brighten complexion, even out skin tone, and clear away unwanted blemishes. Plus, you’ll adore the fresh, invigorating citrus scent.
Cucumber Scrub
The cooling and moisturizing powers of cucumber will revive even the driest summer skin! Paired with sugar, the scrub will work to remove dead skin while delivering hydration, resulting in a radiant complexion.
