Lush Christingle Body Conditioner, $5.95
If you’ve never used one of Lush’s body conditioners before, you’re in for a treat! After soaping up and rinsing off in the shower, use this peppermint and menthol body conditioner all over to hydrate and cool the skin. The oils nourish and soften, while the menthol gives skin a tingly sensation. Then you just lightly rinse and go!
The Face Shop Character Mask, $11.74
Quite literally, you can look like Santa or a reindeer while relaxing and letting your skin absorb all that delicious, hydrating goodness that a sheet mask provides!
Burt’s Bees Peppermint Foot Lotion, $9
Winter can be rough on our little tootsies, but you can get them nice and moisturized with this foot lotion, and even better, it’s peppermint scented! So you won’t miss out on a whiff of the holidays even if you’re doing something as mundane as lotioning your feet. Better yet, have someone else give you a foot massage!
And don’t forget that if you have some peppermint oil handy, you can DIY your favorite treatment and give it a bit of holiday cheer!
Mix a few tablespoons of brown sugar with honey, and a couple drops of peppermint oil for your own refreshing scrub! Honey has natural antibacterial properties that will help clear up acne, while the sugar will gently get rid of dry, flaky skin leaving your skin smooth and silky.
Or you can DIY a mask by mixing a few tablespoons of dry oatmeal and honey with a couple drops of peppermint oil. Slather it all on your face and let them penetrate your skin. You’ll be feeling like a fresh holiday elf in no time!
Now throw on some classic Christmas-time Judy and let her beautiful voice take you away while you treat yourself to some self-care!
