Natural from Toe to Head - Foot Scrubs & Lotion Recipes



One of the best ways to exfoliate feet (my favourite) is to go for a walk barefoot on a beach... If you don't have a beach near by or it is too cold you may want to give one of these a try.

Peppermint Foot Scrub Recipe

Ingredients:
  • 5T coconut oil
  • 2 drops of tea tree
  • 5 drops peppermint oil
  • 1/4C of coarse sea salt
Directions:
Combine ingredients. Store in a small glass  jar. Should be crumbly wet feet before scrubbing.

Tingley Foot Sugar Warming Scrub

Ingredients:
  • 1/4C Brown Sugar (or try cornmeal for extra scrub)
  • /14C Almond or Coconut Oil
  • 6 drops Orange Essential Oil
  • 1 drop Ginger Essential Oil
  • 1 tsp Powdered Cayenne Pepper
Directions:
Mix it all together add cayenne powder last. Warm up the mix before using (if you are in the tub store it in a water tight container and just let it sit in your bathwater for a minute or two to warm it.

Soothing Foot Oil
1/4C Coconut Oil (will melt as you rub it on to your skin)
20 drops Peppermint Essential Oil
5 drops Tea Tree Essential Oil
2 Vit E capsules (poke them with a pin squish out the goo and mix it in)

Play with essential oils you can use almost anything you like. Sandalwood is also really nice. I keep mine in the fridge until I use it in a glass jar.
