DIY Peppermint Lip Scrub
Ingredients:
- Peppermint candies or candy canes
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 Tbsp. coconut oil
Instructions:
- Place several peppermint candies or candy canes in a food processor, then pulse until finely ground. The candies should be roughly the consistency of sugar.
- Place sugar and coconut oil in a bowl.
- Mix in 2 Tbsp. finely ground peppermint candy until well combined. Store in a small airtight jar.
Makes 6 applications.
To use: Scoop out a small amount with your finger, then gently rub the mixture over your lips, focusing on dry areas. If there’s extra scrub left on your lips, you can rinse them—but we won’t tell if you lick the sweet mixture off.
