How to Use Vanilla Peppermint Sugar Scrub
- To use your homemade body scrub in the shower, wet your skin with warm water and apply your vanilla peppermint sugar scrub to your wet skin.
- Using your fingers or a washcloth, massage your skin in a circular motion working the mint sugar scrub into your skin. The raw sugar will exfoliate and the coconut and Vitamin E oils will soften and moisturize your skin. Enjoy the sweet, cool, and uplifting aromas of vanilla and peppermint scrub!
- When finished rinse the simple sugar scrub off with warm water and gently pat dry with a towel.
Lastly, apply your favorite skin moisturizer to seal in the moisture.
