Willow and Sage by Stampington
YOU WILL NEED
Yields 1 cup
1/2 cup coconut oil
Glass bowl
1 cup granulated sugar
12-15 drops peppermint essential oil
Glass jars
Candy cane, finely crushed
TO MAKE
Melt the coconut oil in a glass bowl in the microwave for about 30 seconds, and let cool for five minutes. Stir in the sugar and essential oils until combined. Package the peppermint sugar scrub in airtight glass jars, and sprinkle finely crushed candy cane on top; mix the candy cane into the scrub if desired.
To use, gently massage a small amount into clean, dry skin. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, and pat dry. Store the sugar scrub in a cool dry place for up to six months.
Buy jars with hinged lids for a spa look and attach a ribbon and small spoon.
Better for the environment too, with no micro plastic scrub beads! This sounds really good, and coconut oil is supposed to be fab. Thanks for sharing 🙂

Even with all of my allergies, I think I could actually use this. I might give it a try! Peppermint is so soothing. With a bit of presentation, I be this would make a lovely handmade holiday gift, as well. Thanks for sharing it

I like that’s it’s only a few items and you can probably make over several days, making it easier on the rough days. I can’t wait to smell it.

I probably won’t make right away because I don’t have many gifts to give and this makes a great gift. But it will make a great wintertime scrub. 🙂
