Sugar is a gentler exfoliant than salt because the grains dissolve as you work, so it is much harder to overdo it. Lemon brightens, and the coconut oil leaves skin soft rather than stripped.

Recipe FAQs
Why do you use sugar rather than salt?
Sugar is gentler. The grains dissolve as you work, so it is much harder to overdo it and irritate the skin.
Can I use it in the morning?
Better not. Lemon oil is photosensitising, so use it at night or keep the scrubbed skin out of direct sun.
How long does it keep?
A couple of months in an airtight jar. Keep water out of it, as that is what spoils it.
