DIY Mint Sugar Scrub

I love a good at-home skincare moment — especially when it’s simple, smells amazing, and doubles as a sweet little gift. 💚

This homemade mint sugar scrub takes just a few ingredients and feels like a mini spa day in a jar. It’s refreshing, exfoliating, and perfect for softening up your skin — especially on dry summer days.

• 1 cup coarse sugar (like raw or sanding sugar)

• 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)

• A few drops of peppermint essential oil

• Optional: crushed fresh mint leaves for that extra spa feeling

1. In a small mixing bowl, stir the sugar and melted coconut oil until well combined.

2. Add the peppermint essential oil — start with 5–6 drops and adjust to your liking.

3. Mix in a pinch of fresh mint if you’re using it.

4. Spoon into a clean glass jar with a lid and store in a cool, dry place.

To use, just scoop out a small amount, gently scrub in circular motions on your face or body, and rinse well.

I like to keep one in the shower and another in a little gift basket for friends. Tie it with a ribbon, and boom — self-care gift, done!
