Peppermint Sugar Scrub

Peppermint Sugar Scrub

This is the recipe for the scrub I gave everyone for Christmas. Personally, I love it. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and fresh and ready for
my homemade lotion 😉

I try to use it about once a week but it could probably be used a tad more than that if you wish.

Ingredients
1 cup raw sugar
6 candy canes, finely crushed almost into a powder
1/2 cup sweet almond oil (or olive oil)
1/2 teaspoon vitamin E oil (optional – used as a preservative)
green tea leaves (I am not sure how much I put in since I was making a HUGE batch so you’ll have to just use your good judgement)
6 drops peppermint essential oil

Preparation Instructions
Mix all ingredients until well blended. I took and broke up my candy canes in a food processor first, and then combined all the ingredients together. It worked out really well; works fabulously and smells yummy!
