Peppermint Body Scrub Variations

These scrubs are great in the shower - just be careful as it can get slippery.  They can also be used for the hands only. It drives the blues away leaving you invigorated and leaves your skin amazingly soft and moisturized.

While the basic ingredient is for peppermint essential oil, any essential oil or combination of oils can be used to make your own unique blend (see below).

The skin is the largest organ of the body and whatever you put on your skin can be absorbed into your bloodstream faster than the food you eat! So, be sure to use the purest, highest quality oils you can.


INGREDIENTS:

1 cup white sugar (brown sugar can be used for a darker colour)
⅓ cup Coconut Oil (may substitute with olive, jojoba or almond)
6 drops Peppermint Essential Oil

DIRECTIONS: 

1. Put sugar in a small mixing bowl.
2. Add coconut oil or oil of choice and stir with a spoon thoroughly.
3. Add essential oil and stir. Adjust the amount for the desired scent.
4. Spoon into a glass container with a tight fitting lid to maintain the fragrance.

This will keep for a couple of months.
