Homemade Candy Cane Sugar Scrub

If you’re looking to make easy and inexpensive gifts for your loved ones this year, this Peppermint Candy Cane Sugar Scrub “recipe” is perfect. It smells so good and it is a lot like the expensive department store brands.

What You’ll Need:

• 2 cups of granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup almond or coconut oil
• Peppermint essential oil
• Raspberry juice or red food coloring
• Jar or container to hold it
• 2 bowls
• A piece of printer paper

Directions:

1. Slowly pour the almond or coconut oil into the sugar until the consistency is soft and not too oily. It may take less than the amount of you have set aside, to watch for consistency.
2. Add a few drops of peppermint essential oil to the mixture and stir together.
3. Separate the mixture into 2 bowls of equal amounts.
4. Add the food coloring or juice to 1 of the bowls of mixture.
5. Roll the printing paper into a funnel (a regular funnel is too small for the mixture to flow through) and pour the colored mixture. Press down with spoon.
6. Repeat with white, then colored, etc. until it is used up and creates a candy cane effect.
7. Put on the cap and decorate with a bow!
8. Go here for the label if you’d like to use it for your bottle or jar.
