You can make a sugar scrub for your friends and family at home.It only takes a little bit of time and a few ingredients, so you can make a batches in a single day.Adding twine or a ribbon to your jar of peppermint scrub will make it look better.
Step 1: There are 2 cups of sugar in a bowl.
2 cups of white sugar can be poured into a medium sized bowl.If there are any clumps, sieve it through a strainer and pour it into the bowl.The main ingredient in your scrub is sugar.
Step 2: There is a mixture of melted coconut oil.
For 15 seconds, microwave coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.The oil should be put into the sugar with a wooden spoon.Fractionated coconut oil can be used since it is already melted.Adding more coconut oil will help you get the scrub to the right consistency.The best carrier oil for a sugar scrub is coconut oil.If you don't like coconut oil, you can use almond oil or jojoba oil.
Step 3: Take 15 to 20 drops of essential oil.
Carefully use the dropper to drop your essential oil.Stick with 10 or 20 drops for a more mild scrub.Keep essential oils away from children and pets.Don't put essential oils on your skin without taking care of them first.
Step 4: The scrub should be divided into 2 equal parts.
Scoop out half of the sugar scrub from the second bowl.If you get the bowls to roughly the same amount, you don't have to be precise with your measurement.The scrub should be in each bowl.
Step 5: 2 drops of red food coloring are used to mix the sugar mix.
Drop 2 drops into a bottle of red food coloring.To make it bright red, stir the coloring into the scrub with a metal spoon.If you want to avoid staining your skin, try not to use too much food coloring.
Step 6: There are layers of scrub in a glass jar.
Pick a tall glass jar and start adding your scrub, alternating between white and red.Continue until you fill the entire jar to make a cute candy cane design.The red will bleed into the white layers, but they will turn pink for a candy cane.Depending on how large your jar is, your mixture could fill 1 to 3 jars.A 16-ounce mason jar is enough to hold all of the sugar scrub.
Step 7: To compact the sugar scrub, press down on it.
Press down on the top of the jar with a metal spoon.The push down of the scrub will make it easier for the lid to go on.To make it flat, you can remove a little of the top layer.
Step 8: The jar should be sealed to keep it safe.
To keep your scrub from drying out, screw the lid onto your jar tightly.Before you store it, make sure to seal it back up.You should use your sugar scrub within 6 months.You can use a sugar scrub to get rid of dry, flaky skin on your legs, hands, and feet.
Step 9: If you want to make a cute gift, put a label on the front of the jar.
Print out a label that says "Peppermint Scrub" or use a sticker to add it to your jar.You can add a holiday decoration by tying a piece of twine around the jar's neck.Around the holidays, sugar scrubs are great gifts.You can use a real candy cane to make a treat.
