If you are new to the world of sugar scrubs and do not know what it is? How does it work, and what benefits does a peppermint sugar scrub provide? Let me break it all down for you. Sugar scrub is used while bathing to moisturize and exfoliate the skin.
While making sugar scrubs, essential oils are added to them to give a relaxing scent, and for the benefits an essential oil provides. Peppermint gives a cool tingle to the skin and refreshes you, uplifting your mood and spirit.
Peppermint Sugar Scrub Benefits
Our peppermint sugar scrub is a powerhouse of skin-loving ingredients. Packed with the goodness of peppermint essential oil, coconut oil, and sugar, it's designed to leave your skin feeling soft, plump, and rejuvenated.
1. Exfoliates
Peppermint sugar scrub contains granulated sugar and red jojoba beads for extra exfoliation.
It removes dead skin cells from the surface and brings out an even skin tone. The key to perfect exfoliation is to do it twice a week for at least 40 seconds to one minute.
2. Moisturizes Dry Skin
The presence of fats and amino acids creates a barrier between the skin and keeps the moisture locked in for longer.
Coconut oil has anti-inflammatory properties and soothes the skin on contact. It does wonders for the puffy and baggy under eyes.
3. Removes Blackheads
When peppermint sugar scrub is massaged on the face in a circular motion, granulated sugar and red jojoba beads present in the scrub help alleviate blackheads while keeping the skin smooth and soft.
4. Pampers and Relaxes
The peppermint essential oil, with its cleansing and anti-bacterial properties, not only pampers your skin but also releases tension from your muscles.
Using our peppermint sugar scrub is not just about skincare, it's a mini spa experience in a jar. It creates a soothing and relaxed environment for your mind and body, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
