Homemade Vanilla Orange Mint Sugar Scrub

A couple of years ago I went on a cruise and received a full body massage and sugar scrub. My skin felt so soft afterwards that I’ve been meaning to invest in a sugar scrub. With such cold and dry winters here in the frozen tundra, this is one item my body needs, but one I’m reluctant to spend the money on. Now that I know that I regularly have all the ingredients I need to make my own sugar scrub, why buy it? If you’ve never made a one, it is super easy! I decided to mix three of my favorite scents to make this Vanilla Orange Mint Sugar Scrub.
Pinterest is a great source for awesome scrub recipes. I was inspired by this sugar scrub which has over 10k repins. Unfortunately I don’t have orange or peppermint essential oils so I’ve remade this scrub using peppermint extract and grated orange peel instead as part of #PinterestRemakes. (This is my chance to team up with some other bloggers where we remake something that inspired us on Pinterest.)

I love the way vanilla and orange smell together. I need to make this soon!
I definitely want to give this scrub recipe a try! I have grated orange peels and dried them out to use in similar recipes. It works really well.
I bet this feels AH-mazing! I have been looking for new scents,… thank you!!
I’ve never thought about putting this combination of scents together but I think it would be really nice! I love trying out new scrub recipes so this should be a fun one to try out. The Pinterest remakes are really fun!
Sugar scrubs are so luxurious! Every once in a while, I’ll splurge on one, but it’d be pretty easy to make my own. Thanks for linking up with our Merry Monday party this week! I can’t wait to try your recipe 🙂
YUM! I made a coconut lime scrub recently on my blog but I love the flavor combination here. I have to try this one out. Found you over at the DIY collective!
What a lovely homemade Sugar scrub that I want to make! It looks so pretty and I bet smells good. Thanks for the recipe!
The Homemade Orange Mint Sugar Scrub is amazing and I would love to try to make this recipe. I make a lot of my own scrubs at home and like using homemade products.
