I’ll admit, I try to eat healthy, but I love candy! Chocolate, gummies, hard candy, lollipops, you name it. I’m a sucker for anything with some sugar in it! So it’s probably not a surprise that I love chocolate mints, especially Andes mints. Technically they’re supposed to be after-dinner mints, but I always say, why wait until after dinner! And with this homemade beauty product DIY, you don’t have to wait to smell the scent of those yummy chocolate mints! If you also love Andes mints (or just are a fan of chocolate and mint flavors) then you’ll love this Andes Chocolate Mint Lip Scrub!

Andes mints actually come in more flavors than just chocolate and mint (the Crème De Menthe flavor). There are actually 6 flavors in total, but I haven’t gotten a chance to try them yet. If you’re a fan of one of the other flavors, there’s no reason why you couldn’t use those to make a lip scrub! You might just change out the essential oil to one that better matches whatever mint you choose to substitute. Though the peppermint essential oil would probably still be fine with the Mint Parfait and Peppermint Crunch flavors!
Andes Chocolate Mint Lip Scrub
Materials
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

Directions
1. 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.
