Peppermint Sugar Scrub Bars

Sugar scrubs help remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells, leaving your skin softer and smoother, without causing pain.  A sugar scrub bar is easier to manage than the traditional sugar scrubs. They are also good for those with sensitive skin and those that have found salt scrubs scratchy or uncomfortable. These peppermint sugar scrub bars smell great and are great for hydrating the skin as well.
