30+ DIY Body Recipes Using Peppermint Essential Oil

July 10, 2022 by Shellie Wilson Leave a Comment

This roundup is all about Peppermint Essential Oil. I recently started creating roundups that used the same oil rather than a style of DIY. Why? I was getting into the bad habit of buying an Essential oil for the purpose of one recipe but then being stuck with 25mls of extra oil essential oil. Which as you may know would be a very expensive project.

So let’s take a moment to talk about Peppermint Essential oil.  Why is it good? How can you use it?

Peppermint essential oil can be extracted from the leaves of the peppermint plant and is used for a variety of purposes.

When it is applied to the skin, peppermint essential oil has a mild cooling and soothing feeling. It is also a natural antibacterial and antimicrobial cleanser.

Peppermint oil is promoted for topical use (applied to the skin) for problems like headaches, muscle aches, joint pain, and itching. In aromatherapy, peppermint oil is promoted for treating coughs and colds, reducing pain, improving mental function, and reducing stress.  I keep a small roller of peppermint in my handbag and have used it for nausea, travel sickness, headaches, hayfever, and even used it to freshen my breath with a dab onto my tongue.

So that is a whole lot of goodness in one bottle of Peppermint oil right?

So this list of over 30 projects and recipes all use peppermint oil. I will continue to add more tutorials as I make them or come across them, so it is just 30 for now, but I will be updating it, so make sure you pop back and check it out.

Witch’s Brew Halloween Body Scrub – A Spooky DIY for Glowing Halloween Skin

When October hits and the pumpkins roll out, it’s the perfect time to stir up a little bubbling brew—for your skin! This Witch’s Brew Body Scrub is a fun, fizzy, exfoliating scrub made with natural ingredients and a hint of Halloween magic. It sloughs off dead skin, boosts circulation, and leaves you silky smooth, just in time for costume parties or cozy nights in.

Whether you’re prepping for a haunted house event or simply want a little pampering after handing out candy all night, this scrub is your go-to potion.

Why You’ll Love This DIY Halloween Scrub

  • Looks like a bubbling cauldron (especially in black or purple jars) 
  • Gently exfoliates and moisturizes dry autumn skin 
  • Scented with spooky-good essential oils (think patchouli, orange, and clove) 
  • Made with simple pantry staples 
  • Customisable with shimmer, color, or even candy eyeballs (for visual fun—not for use!) 

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sugar (white or brown) 
  • ¼ cup coconut oil (or grapeseed oil) 
  • 1 tbsp activated charcoal (for a spooky black color) 
  • ½ tsp green mica or cosmetic-grade shimmer (optional cauldron glow) 
  • 5 drops orange essential oil 
  • 3 drops clove essential oil 
  • 2 drops patchouli or cinnamon essential oil 
  • Optional: ½ tsp vanilla extract (for a sweet twist) 
  • Optional topping: candy eyeballs or star confetti (for display only!) 

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, combine sugar, charcoal, and mica powder. Stir until evenly mixed. 
  2. Add the coconut oil and stir to create a wet, sandy texture. 
  3. Drop in the essential oils and vanilla extract, if using. Mix well. 
  4. Spoon into a small jar or Halloween-themed container. If gifting, top with a candy eyeball or wrap with a “Witch’s Brew” label. 

How to Use:

In the shower, scoop a tablespoon and gently massage into damp skin in circular motions. Avoid the face (due to charcoal), and rinse thoroughly. Follow with body butter or lotion for spellbinding softness.

Gifting Idea:

Pair it with a “Batty Bath Bomb” or “Pumpkin Spice Lip Balm” in a little Halloween basket. Great for party favours, teacher gifts, or seasonal markets!
