How to Make a Peppermint Sea Salt Body Scrub

A minty fresh body scrub has both peppermint oil and ground dried peppermint.

This natural peppermint sea salt body scrub helps to remove dead skin cells, while moisturizing the skin and promoting healthier skin cells. It is perfect for those that want something more energizing, and less girly, than many body scrubs.

Things You'll Need

• 3 teaspoons of sea salt
• 3 teaspoons of sweet almond oil
• 1 teaspoon of ground dried peppermint
• 5 drops of peppermint oil

Instructions

1. Pour the sweet almond oil into a small microwaveable bowl, then heat on high for 10 seconds.

2. Pour in the ground dried peppermint, and stir together. Allow the mixture to cool until it reaches room temperature.

3. Once it reaches room temperature, add in the peppermint oil and sea salt, and stir thoroughly.

4. Rinse your skin off with warm water, then massage the mixture into the skin in a circular motion. Focus on one area at a time, massaging it into each area for about a minute.

5. When you've covered all the skin you plan to scrub, rinse the mixture off with warm water, then gently dry off the skin with a towel.
