Iâve been seeing these everywhere recently and they seem so fun so I just had to make my own DIY version! My daughter and I both have been loving them! Just massage into damp skin to moisturizer and rub away any dead skin đ I made two different versions so hopefully there is a little something everyone will enjoy đ

1/4 Cup Coconut Oil.

1 Cup Sugar.
Crushed Candy Cane.
Directions:
1. Melt the first three ingredients together (tips below).
2. Once the mix is fully melted stir in the mica and peppermint oil.
3. Stir in the sugar (make sure the liquid isnât to hot or the sugar will just melt).
4. Press the mixture into the mold of your choice (I prefer silicone) You can also add crushed peppermint to the mold first to give it a festive fun look.

Notes đ
Can be stored in the shower. Just make sure not to leave it directly sitting in water or they will melt away.
Tips for melting...
I prefer to use a small slow cooker on high heat with 2(ish) Inches of hot water. Just add the ingredients to a glass jar and sit the jar in the hot water. I find itâs the most convenient for me. That being said do whatever works best for you! A double broiler would work also.
I filmed an exclusive DIY recipe video for Rise âN Shines Facebook group. If you want to see step by step how I made this recipe just join the group and search for âDIY Sugar Scrub Barsâ đđ»
