There’s nothing better than pampering yourself during the holidays. Wouldn’t you agree?
I love all the expensive sugar scrubs, but I hate the high cost. So I have made my own sugar scrub that is just as good as those expensive ones for A LOT less!
And…if you need an expensive gift for the holidays with the expensive cost this Peppermint Candy Cane Sugar Scrub makes a perfect gift for the holidays for under $5.
This DIY Peppermint Candy Cane Sugar Scrub is made with pure cane sugar, a little food coloring, coconut oil and peppermint oil.
It smells great and feels great! Here’s the recipe.
Recipe:
1 Cup sugar
1 Teaspoon Coconut Oil
Red Food Coloring OR a little bit of raspberry juice for color. (juice from the frozen bag of raspberry works)
2 Drops of Peppermint Oil
I used 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to 1 cup of sugar. It took about 10 drops of red food coloring to get the sugar to turn red.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Sugar

- 2 Drops of Peppermint Oil
- Red Food Coloring OR a little bit of raspberry juice for color. (juice from a melted frozen bag of raspberry works)

Does the red food coloring stain your skin?
That’s a great question! Believe it or not it has never stained my skin, but I go over my skin with soap afterwards so that may be why.
