7 Peppermint Beauty Products That Smell Delicious

by Lindsey Rose Black

Why confine peppermint to just candy canes and mochas (and mints before mistletoe kisses!) this season when there's so many potential ways to add the refreshing scent to your life? I took a deep dive in the world of online shopping to find the best peppermint beauty products that will make perfect holiday gifts for pals. And, given how awesome they are, I totally won't judge you one bit if you decide to just get them all and treat yourself!

I'm literally typing this while eating peppermint bark and, might I just say, it smells amazing. While I don't advocate slathering peppermint bark on your face, peppermint itself has tons of beauty benefits. Fellow Bustle writer Kristen Collins Jackson broke down peppermint oil's epicness and explained that "peppermint oil is a natural antiseptic with an ability to wake up worn-out skin and manage oil production ... This minty ingredient has Omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin A & C, calcium, iron, potassium, and magnesium — so it'll to whip dry skin, stubborn nail beds, and blemish-prone skin into shape!"

I'd like to reiterate that it also just happens to smell freaking amazing and then some, so you know any product featuring peppermint is going to be a total holiday winner.
