If you’re looking for a super easy, super festive DIY to kick off the holiday season… this peppermint scrub is it. It’s refreshing, it smells amazing, and honestly it looks so pretty in the jar you’ll want to keep it on your bathroom counter all year long.
This is one of the first ever DIY scrubs I made, so you’ll notice the difference from my newer recipes but omg I remembered it today, and this is honestly the perfect time to post it .
I love making my own scrubs because they’re quick, budget-friendly, and the ingredients are really easy to find. Plus, you get that perfect peppermint spa vibe at home without paying $12 or more for a tiny store bought container.
This recipe makes the cutest Christmas gifts. Add a ribbon, a little label, instant stocking stuffer.
