Method & Application:

• Mix the brown sugar, white sugar and cocoa powder together in a bowl.
• Then, add the mint essential oil and the olive or almond oil, mix everything thoroughly.
• Use this in the shower only, as the oils can make it sticky and messy.
• Scoop up a little bit of the scrub and rub it over your skin in slow circular motions. The sugar will help get rid of any dry, dead skin, while the oil will provide moisture and make sure the skin does not get too dry.

This scrub is great for all skin types, and especially for dry skin. However, keep in mind that pregnant women should not be using any essential oil. I hope you enjoy using this mint chocolate scrub!
