Tis the season for candy canes and my family could not be any happier. Not only do I love the TASTE of candy canes, but I love the smell of them as well. This easy candy cane sugar scrub recipe requires no actual candy canes, although you could crush some up and put them in there if you would like. During the winter, I probably make a sugar scrub recipe just about every month. The exfoliating and moisturizing properties of homemade sugar scrubs help keep skin smooth and silky during the dry winter months. My whole house smells wonderful right now and it is really starting to feel a lot like Christmas!

Easy Candy Cane Sugar Scrub Recipe
This is an incredibly easy sugar scrub recipe that takes less than 10 minutes to put together. If you want to get pretty layers like a true candy cane, I find the easiest thing to do is press down the sugar in the jar with a cocktail muddler. It fits easily in the jar and presses the layers down firmly so they stay put. Layer your easy candy cane sugar scrub recipe into a decorative glass jar or just a simple mason jar with a lid.

What exactly is “skin safe food coloring”? I would love to make the stripes but didn’t want to use regular food coloring in case I dyed somebody red .;)
you may want to go with a natural food coloring. I find they are usually not quite as dark. I didn’t have any issues with staining when I used them
Ive used the gel food coloring and found its better to use and doesnt stain your skin as bad as the liquid food coloring
Thanks for the tip!
