to make a large batch of this Florida state-pie scrub, skip the egg yolk and add three drops of
grapefruit seed extract.

1. Squeeze the juice out of the limes and mix with the milk and egg yolk. Blend until thick.


2. Add sugar, but make sure it doesn’t dissolve completely. Apply in circular motions using light
   pressure. As the sugar dissolves on your skin, it will become thinner, so there’s little risk of
   scrubbing too hard.
