This sugar scrub recipe is perfect for the holidays. It is red and green and scented with peppermint! It costs almost nothing to make and serves as a sweet little homemade gift. Using a sugar scrub to to get rid of dead skin cells gets your skin ready for moisturizing. Especially in the winter!
I always keep one of my favorite sugar scrubs in the bathroom and use them often.
Holiday Sugar Scrub Recipe
You can make a sugar scrub several different ways, but my favorite is with sugar and grapeseed oil. Grapeseed oil is moisturizing and can help strengthen and repair damaged or broken capillaries and blood vessels.
Ingredients
- a glass jar
- 2/3 cup of sugar; halved
- 1 tsp of grapeseed oil; halved
- 10 drops of red food coloring
- 6 drops of green food coloring
- 10 drops of essential oil
This is super easy, just add the ingredients into two separate bowls – one for red and one for green. Mix the sugar and oil first, then add in the color and lastly the oil.
The Epoch Peppermint oil is so good and is definitely the best smelling peppermint I’ve ever smelled.
Use a funnel (or just scoop it in, depending on how wide the bottle neck is) to layer in the sugar scrub. I grabbed this glass bottle with a festive red lid for $1 at the Target dollar spot. It was such a steal!
