LEMON SUGAR SCRUB
Lemon peel can be used to make lemon sugar scrub at home. Add 1/2 cup of sugar, olive oil, and grated lemon peel to form a fine paste. It will make your skin soft and bright.
EXFOLIATE
You can mix dried lemon peels with honey or olive oil for a revitalising facial or body massage. Gentle exfoliation results in glowing skin.

LEMON CANDY
You can make lemon peel candies to eat as a snack, which can also be used in other dishes like cakes or muffins.
NATURAL CLEANSER
You can add lemon peels to vinegar to create an all-around cleanser that effectively removes stains and dirt while giving you a fresh scent.
