Cost: $2

Equipment

  • Jar

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • <1/2 cup oil I like to use a little less than a half cup but if you want it really moisturizing than use a 1/2 cup
  • 10 drops peppermint essential oils optional
  • few drops vitamin e optional

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix together sugar, oil, and peppermint essential oil.
  • Place in an airtight container.

To Use:

  • Take out 1-2 tbs (or a small amount) of scrub, wet skin, and then rub sugar scrub in a circular motion all over your body.
  • Rinse with warm water. I like to do this in the shower since it is the easiest to wash off.

Notes

  • Use 100% peppermint essential oil and skip any fragrances. These are highly toxic and contain endocrine disruptors.
  • I like to use a little less than a half cup of oil per cup of sugar, but if you want it really moisturizing than use a 1/2 cup oil.
  • Double or triple this recipe to make for gifts. Make sure to use a large bowl if you make a large batch.
