Peppermint Body Scrub

Did you know you can make your own body scrubs in the Thermomix? You can also do all sorts of other non-food things such as homemade cleaning products, candles, bath salts and more. They seriously make fantastic gifts and as they are homemade you know exactly what’s in it and there’s no hidden chemicals or nasties.

This Peppermint Body Scrub is divine. It smells amazing and your skins feels so silky smooth afterwards. Here are some awesome reasons why the scrub is so good:

• Mint is great at refreshing and soothing the skin, it also brightens complexion.

• Raw sugar is an exfoliant, a natural humectant (doesn't strip skin of moisture) and leaves the skin hyrated.

• Coconut oil is a natural moisturiser and leaves the skin glowing.

• Peppermint oil is uplifting and energising, it also helps soothe the skin.

We had this uploaded on the Recipe Community and a few people tried it and absolutely loved it! However we took it off due to Recipe Community being a Thermomix food page and we didn’t want to get into trouble haha. We love it so much and hope you give it a go. See below instructions on how to make this lovely scrub.

Makes 1 jar.

Ingredients:

• 25 grams fresh mint (stems included)

• 300 grams raw sugar

• 120 grams coconut oil

• 5 drops Peppermint oil

1. Add mint to TM, blitz 10 seconds, speed 9. Scrape down sides of bowl.

2. Add all other ingredients and mix 5 minutes, speed 1.

3. With aid of spatula, empty contents into glass jar(s) or sealable container.

Tip: Store in jar or container & it will harden over time. I keep mine in my shower and you can use your fingers or a spoon to get the scrub out of the jar/container.
