THE POWER OF PEPPERMINT –Have you ever thought about peppermint at any time other than the holidays? Well, you should. The hybrid plant—a mix of water, mint and spearmint—has an uplifting aroma that stimulates your senses. In addition to giving your nose a little wake-up call, peppermint is used in a lot of beauty formulas to stimulate your skin. Sometimes, even hair formulas contain peppermint because it creates a cooling and calming sensation for the scalp while leaving your hair minty fresh.
There are a number of LaLicious products that contain peppermint oil, ranging from our cult favorite Sugar Soufflé Scrub, Body Butter, Body Oil and Whipped Body Soap. We rely on the menthol in peppermint oil as a stimulant in our products, as it works to increase circulation, invigorate the senses, refresh your skin, and produce a pleasant cooling sensation.
So give your senses a little peppermint pick-me-up when you’re feeling low on energy and feel instantly awakened. Next time you see those red-and-white peppermint rounds, you may think twice about the powerful aroma they carry and how stimulating they truly are for your senses.
So get ready to stimulate your senses! Like DermStore and LaLicous on Facebook, then tell us how you use Peppermint in your daily beauty regimen, and you could be one of 15 lucky winners to receive a Peppermint Sugar Scrub!

I have had fibromyalgia for 14 years and lupus for 25. My days are filled with a lot of pain. I find got some peppermint body scrub to help with the all over body pain and the smell helps my depression. It makes me feel more alive and invigerated. Since I have had to stop working at the elementary school I worked at for 15 years- not much happiness or things that bring me joy. This gives me a some relief from the pain and rather dull life.
Thank You
