Homemade Chocolate Sugar Scrub

Winter is in full force here in the Chicago area, and my skin is feeling it. I like to use a sugar scrub at least once a week to try to keep the scaly skin to a minimum.

It’s so easy to make your own scrubs, play around with ingredients, and choose them to target different skin issues.

I don’t know a lot about aromatherapy yet, but I do know that I find peppermint soothing. I like to use peppermint oil in a bath if I am overly stressed or feel a headache coming on.

If you know someone who loves Thin Mints, surprise them with a “lucky” jar of sugar scrub for St. Patrick’s Day!

I mean, really, who doesn’t want to bathe in their favorite dessert? 😉

DIY Mint Chocolate Sugar Scrub Ingredients

Here’s what you need to make this bath and body scrub. The measurements are in the how-to card below.

• Granulated sugar
• Brown sugar

Chocolate Sugar Scrub Directions

Add both the sugars and the cocoa powder to a mixing bowl.

Melt down your coconut oil so it’s easy to mix. Add the coconut oil and almond oil to the sugar mixture and mix until well combined.

Add the peppermint essential oil and Vitamin E oil if you choose to use it and mix well.

Transfer the chocolate sugar scrub to an airtight container. Use smaller jars if you are making it for gifts.

To use, pour some scrub on a wet washcloth, a bath pouf, or your hands and gently rub on your body in the bath or shower.

Rinse yourself with warm water and pat down with a towel.

Store the scrub for up to six months in an airtight container.
