Here’s a recipe for a DIY Candy Cane Sugar Scrub that you’re going to love. This homemade sugar scrub recipe uses candy canes–it’s so refreshing!

It’s a terrific exfoliant because it contains sugar, and yet it’s moisturizing because it contains coconut oil too. And, of course, the peppermint gives it that wonderful smell.

Peppermint has amazing aromatherapy benefits. If you want to up the peppermint content, feel free to add some essential oil to this recipe–just a couple of drops at a time until you get the desired effect.
