DIY Holiday Sugar Scrubs!

Hello and Happy December! 
Today I am going to share how to make two different holiday sugar scrubs! These are great for christmas gifts, or if you want to make some for yourself! They are super easy and you just need some ingredients from the baking section of the grocery store or your kitchen! :)
I found these sugar scrubs last year around this time from RachhLoves  on youtube if you want to  see her video. 


The first scrub is a peppermint or candy cane scent, and the second one is vanilla cinnamon. 

For the Peppermint Scrub 

What you'll need 

-3.5 cups of sugar
-1 cup of light olive oil
-3-4 tsp of peppermint extract 
-4 tsp of coconut oil
Heat up the coconut oil on the stove or in the microwave so it melts. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl. 

Then put the scrub in a jar. I found these jars at Target in a pack of four. I'm not exactly sure what size they are, but the recipe for this filled two jars worth.
Then I decorated the jar cute for christmas with ribbons and bells.

For the Vanilla Cinnamon Scrub 

What you'll need 

-3 cups brown sugar
--2 cups of oats
-1.5 cups of light olive oil
-2 tbsp vanilla extract
-1.5 tbsp cinnamon
-1 tbsp nutmeg 

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl
Since the oats are large and chunky, I blended it in the blender.

I'm really obsessed with these and they smell amazing. I had so much fun making them and decorating the jars LOL!!

These can also be used as a lip scrub as well!!

I hope everyone has a great December and Holidays!!!

    1. Let me know if you like it! I'm not sure how long it lasts, but I think all the ingredients have a pretty long shelf life so as long as you store it in a tight fitting container or jar it should be fine for a while :-)
