Vanilla Sugar Scrub Recipe
Ingredients

·         1 ½ cups of Sugar

·         1/3 cup Coconut Oil

·         2 drops Peppermint Extract

·         1 drop Vanilla Extract

·         2 drops Green Food Coloring (optional)

In a medium to large bowl add the sugar.  In a microwave safe bowl, add the coconut oil and microwave at 30 second intervals until it is melted.  This can also be done in a pan on the stovetop over medium heat.  Once the coconut oil is melted, add it to the sugar along with the peppermint and vanilla extract.  As well as the green food coloring, if desired.  Stir well to combine.  Making sure all of the sugar is coated with oil.  The mixture will be lumpy, but the sugar shouldn’t be dry.  Add to a clean glass jar with a lid to store.  To use, while in the shower, scoop some of the sugar scrub into your hand and run on the skin.  Rinse off with water.  Use caution when using the sugar scrub in the shower as it can make the tub or shower floor slippery.  Making it easier to fall in the shower or tub.
