DIY: Candy Cane sugar scrub

DIY Christmas presents are the best. They're thoughtful and personalised. This was one of the funnest, most rewarding one i've made. This sugar scrub looks expensive and professional and the smell is to die for!

What you'll need:

• 1/2 cup (4 oz.) granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup (2 oz.) coconut oil, melted (preferably organic)
• red food coloring
• peppermint extract 
• rose essence/extract 

I used this as rough guide, and altered it as i went along. If you need more of anything just add a little at a time.

Melt the coconut oil in the microwave and pour over sugar.

Stir then separate into two bowls. Add the food colouring to one of them and throughly mix in.

I popped the bowls in the freezer for 3 minutes just slightly set the mixture.


After 3 minutes start layering each colour in a jar. I used an old glass coconut oil jar.


Fill all the way to the top alternating every time.

I finally added a M as the person i'm giving this to is called Molli. Adding an initial makes it personalised and a much better gift in my opinion. I was super happy with the result and hope she likes it!

If you try it out be sure to send me a picture
