Orange Mint Sugar Scrub

Here is another of the sugar scrubs I made for Christmas this year.  These scrubs are so easy to make and take no time to put together. With the cold weather of late these are great because our skin gets so dry during the winter with the lack of humidity, I can't believe I said that, and using heat all the time.  These make your skin feel so good.

Here is another pretty little jar of scrub.  If you are worried because you have small children in your house.  These are all made with natural ingredients that might not taste good but won't hurt you. 

You can use any oil but I like coconut oil best.  I think it leaves my skin feeling best..

Start with 1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup oil.  The coconut oil will be solid so you will need to melt in the microwave.

Mix well.

Add 20 drops orange essential oil.  This smells so good.

Then add 10 drops peppermint essential oil.  You can find these sometimes in the craft stores, some grocery stores or on line.

Add to your container.  This made two or three of these little jars.
