Mint Sugar Facial Scrub

There is something super fun about making your own beauty products. It’s like you can be a scientist and hide away in your bathroom with bottles and jars and spoons and make something that makes you feel beautiful. I love easy body and facial scrubs like this – great to use yourself and great to give as gifts! I also loved making this Peppermint Foot Scrub and these Homemade Flavored Lip Gloss pots!
