Nothing says it’s the holidays quite like the scent of Peppermint! Beyond its delicious fragrance (and taste), peppermint has several benefits to both the mind and body. It is used to ease tension, mild indigestion and help combat bad breath. Used in many body products, peppermint is great for any skin type, because it contains menthol, which cools sensitive skin and smoothes out dry or oily skin.
This is the time of year where we give those around us gifts of thanks and affection. Here is a great little salt scrub for anyone on your list
