Peppermint Scrubs Ingredients
- 4 – 1 inch cubes shea butter melt and pour soap (a luxurious emollient known for deeply hydrating and nourishing the skin)
- 3 teaspoons sea salt (a gentle exfoliant that buffs away dead skin cells, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion)
- 1 teaspoon sweet almond oil (rich in Vitamin E and fatty acids, it helps soften and condition the skin)
- 15 drops peppermint essential oil (provides a refreshing, invigorating aroma and a cooling sensation on the skin)
- 1 1/2 tsp organic peppermint leaves (add a touch of color and enhance the minty scent)
This combination of natural ingredients creates a luxurious and effective body scrub that leaves your skin feeling soft, smooth, and invigorated!
Substitutions You Can Make
Feel free to substitute oils for ones you have or think that might be better for your skincare routine!
- Coconut Oil: A deeply moisturizing oil with a faint coconut scent
- Apricot Oil: Lightweight and readily absorbed, it nourishes without leaving a greasy feel
- Jojoba Oil: Similar to the skin's natural sebum, it balances oil production and soothes irritation
- Grapeseed Oil: Rich in antioxidants and fatty acids for moisturizing and protecting the skin
Salts: You can easily substitute Epsom salt, Himalayan pink salt or Dead Sea salt scrub for regular sea salt. Functionally you are looking for some kind of natural exfoliator to help get rid of the dead skin!
Scents: If you prefer a different scent you could definitely sub out lavender essential oil for a more calming effect or tea tree oil to add antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
