A candy cane sugar scrub is an easy Do-It-Yourself when you need a gift quickly. It’s also a great gift to give to that friend that needs a simple spa day.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups sugar
• 1/4 cup coconut oil or other carrier oil — you may use more depending on desired consistency
• Red food coloring
• Peppermint essential oil
• Mason jars with lids — makes multiple 4 oz and 1/2 pint jars or 1 full pint jar

Steps:
1. Pour sugar into medium sized mixing bowl.

2. Add coconut oil until desired consistency is reached; stir until mixed completely. 

3. Place a few drops of peppermint essential oil into the mixture.

4. Divide your sugar scrub mix into two equal portions. 

5. Add a drop or two of food coloring into one of the portions, being careful not to add too much!

6. In a mason jar, alternate pink and white layers of colored sugar to create a “candy cane” effect. Press sugar down with a spoon to compact between layers.

7. Print sticker labels for the front of the jar and add a bow for gifting.
