I love lip scrubs especially in the winter. Oh and Andes Mints

are my absolute favorite candy in the world. So this recipe

is definitely for me! Are you going to give it a try?

Your lips never feel better after a good lip scrub.


What you'll need:

1/4 cup (4 Tablespoons) coconut oil

5 Andes Crème De Menthe mint candies– broken into pieces

1/3 cup granulated sugar

5-6 drops peppermint essential oil

3-4 drops Vitamin E oil

4 lip balm containers (amazon or ebay)


Create:

In a small microwave-safe bowl, add the coconut oil. Microwave for

15 seconds and stir. Stir in the Andes chocolate mint pieces.

Microwave for an additional 15 seconds. Stir until melted and smooth.


Add the sugar and stir until well mixed.


Add the peppermint essential oil and vitamin E oil and stir until well incorporated.


Transfer to your Andes chocolate mint lip scrub to the

airtight containers and store for up to 3 months.


How to use:

Wet your lips and apply the Andes chocolate mint lip scrub

generously to your lips. Gently scrub in a circular motion.

The sugar will help exfoliate and the coconut oil

will moisturize. Rinse with warm water.

Pat dry with a soft towel.

Apply your favorite lip balm.
