I love a good sugar scrub…especially during the winter. The dry, cooler temperatures wreak havoc on my skin, so a good scrub really comes in handy! I use one at least once a week to keep my skin smoother by getting rid of dry, flaky skin. Today’s easy DIY rosemary mint sugar scrub is guaranteed to get your skin smooth after just one use.
Although I love the scrubs found at stores like Bath and Body Works, Ulta and Sephora, I don’t always have the money to splurge on this luxury. Not to mention, there are all kinds of ingredients I can’t even pronounce in many of the scrubs found in stores. No, thank you! I’d rather make my own and know what I’m putting on my body. How about you?
Yes, making your own sugar scrubs at home really is the smartest way to smoother skin. Today I’m sharing with you my Easy DIY Rosemary Mint Sugar Scrub recipe. I really love the scent of this scrub, but what I really love is how soft your skin will be after you use it. The coconut oil in this recipe will leave your skin moisturized and smooth. Guaranteed!
My Easy DIY Rosemary Mint Sugar Scrub recipe has very few ingredients, and I bet you already have half of the ingredients in your kitchen pantry! The most difficult task in making your own sugar scrub at home is choosing which essential oils to include. Lucky for you, I’ve already done the work for you today!
Here are the ingredients you will need to make this awesome sugar scrub:
- Rosemary Essential Oil
- Peppermint Essential Oil
- Sugar
- Coconut Oil
- Green food coloring (if desired for color)
The Rosemary and Peppermint oils in this sugar scrub will not only benefit your skin with their healing properties, but they will benefit your mind, too. Both oils have been known to help cure headaches, making this a great combination to calm the senses and relax you while you’re being good to your skin.
All you have to do is blend all of the ingredients together and then head to the shower with your new sugar scrub. It really is that simple! The full recipe and instructions are listed for you below. I hope you enjoy this Easy DIY Rosemary Mint Sugar Scrub just as much as I do!

Sounds so good! Will have to try!
Thanks, Carole. I used it last night, and my skin is super smooth today! 🙂
Love this recipe for the face scrub! I’m always looking for more organic things to use on my skin.
I’m so glad you like it! Natural is the way to go!
Would food coloring leave a green tint? Just curious I haven’t made any before. Thanks!
No, it won’t leave a green tint on your skin. I tried it out and didn’t turn into a leprechaun. 🙂 You can leave it out if you wish, though. It’s really just for looks. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Thank you so much! I know when I use it just to mix with other things and it gets on my hands I have colored fingers lol 🙂 so just curious. It’s not mixed with ingredients when I have done it. I love the look of the colors though. Thanks for a quick reply and sharing your recipe!
Oh my gosh – mint and rosemary are two of my favorite fragrances! Can’t wait to give this a try!
