Easy Homemade Peppermint Sugar Scrub that Smells Amazing!

This sugar scrub is so luxurious and it smells amazing! And I just love how pretty this Peppermint Body Scrub looks layered in a clear container. This is the perfect gift idea for the holidays. You might also want to keep a jar for guests to use when they come over. This would look so festive sitting on your bathroom sink. Guests can use a little on their hands and they will feel so special!

The candy cane pattern is perfect for Christmas and the mint makes it smell so refreshing. Make up a big batch to give to friends and tuck a pair of comfy socks in the gift bag! Tired achy feet from lots of Christmas shopping will be so grateful!

Tips to make Peppermint Body Scrub  

You can get jars on Amazon for a really good price. The peppermint oil is also a nice deal on Amazon. I am always making something so it saves me time and money to have these on hand. I buy coconut oil in bulk  too. We are trying to make more items all naturally so we use this a lot.

 We also make a Brown Sugar Scrub  that smells so good and is really moisturizing. Definitely try that one too!

 This DIY Bath Bombs Recipe is also amazing! So simple and much less than buying these at the store.

 

2. Place 3/4 cup white sugar into one bowl of oil and mix well. You’ll want your sugar to be crumbly.

 

3. Place red food coloring or color gels into the other bowl of oil and mix. This won’t mix well since your food coloring is most likely water (vs oil) based. But that’s okay, it will come together in a minute.

4. Add 3/4 cup white sugar and mix well. This is when the color will begin to evenly distribute and blend with the sugar. Add essential oil, 10-15 drops per color.

5. You can simply layer your sugar scrub horizontally but I wanted a different look. I angled my jar using a smaller glass bowl. Add a small amount of red sugar scrub and pack down with the back of a spoon. Add white and pack down. Continue with this layered look until you have the jar full.

 To use, wet or dampen skin. Grab a handful of scrub and scrub onto your body, usually while in the shower. Focus on rough areas like elbows, knees and the feet. Rinse. You’ll notice the water will bead on your skin. This is from the moisture of the coconut oil. When finished showering, pat dry to retain moisture from the oil.

Try it and let us know how you like it! It’s so moisturizing and smells divine.
