Peppermint Sugar Scrub

Last year a sweet friend of mine gave me a small jar of peppermint sugar scrub last Christmas. I put it in my shower thinking I’d use it — someday.

Some day in the future.

Some day when I was stressed or needed a little TLC.Someday when I’d want to be kind to myself.

But, honestly, I wasn’t sure when I’d open that little jar. But one day I did. And the sweet smell of peppermint and the gentle scrubbing of the sugar on the bottom of my foot was so refreshing. It didn’t take long until I was addicted to using my jar of peppermint sugar scrub in the shower at the end of a long day.

I ran out of the jar my friend gave me so I had to learn how to make my own.

How to Make Peppermint Sugar Scrub

All you need are three ingredients to make the peppermint sugar scrub (peppermint essential oil, sugar, coconut oil). Yep, that’s it.

You’ll need a jar and some twine to make cute little gifts. These especially make great Christmas gifts!

Peppermint Sugar Scrub Ingredients:

• Peppermint essential oil
• We love these Ball half pint mason jars
• Love to use this red and white twine at Christmas time
• Optional (Jojoba beads) — more on these below.

This next part is super hard, friends. Mix the three ingredients together!

It’s that simple to make peppermint sugar scrub.

If you want a different scent, just swap the peppermint essential oil for the scent of your choice.

Fill the jars with your new peppermint sugar scrub and tie a piece of twine around the opening of the jar. Top with the jar with lids and add a gift tag. This would look so cute with a little chalkboard label or sign.

If you want to add some color to the jars, these red Jojoba beads add a perfect “peppermint” touch of color. The jar my friend made for me had red specs throughout the jar and I had to ask here what they were. Here’s a pic of the jar you can get easily on Etsy.

Just add a tablespoon or so to the mix … you can adjust to get the color you’re looking for.
