I love the fresh, minty smell of peppermint. Even though this recipe for Peppermint Foot Scrub is listed as a foot scrub, it can be used as a whole body scrub as well.
It's super easy to make with ingredients you probably already have on hand.
It works well as a foot scrub because peppermint oil is said to increase blood circulation. It has a cooling effect, and can be used to relieve pain.
Another foot scrub is my Tea Tree Oil Foot Scrub.

What Are Sugar Scrubs Good For?
Sugar scrubs are great for exfoliating the skin. Made with sugar scrub and oil they not only exfoliate, they moisturize dry skin as well.
Can I Use Peppermint Oil in a Body Scrub?
You could use this foot scrub as an all over body scrub, but I prefer to use it on my feet.
Just keep it away from cuts, open wounds, or sensitive parts. For people with sensitive skin peppermint might be a bit strong.
🧾 Ingredients
- Sugar: I used white sugar, but brown sugar or coconut sugar would also work.
- Coconut oil: I used coconut oil because that's what I always have on hand. You could use almond oil or jojoba oil. If you have oily or combination skin you could use grapeseed oil or apricot kernel oil.
- Peppermint essential oil: I like to use Aura Cacia peppermint essential oil.
