What You Will Need:

  • Scale
  • .5 ounces of Refined coconut oil
  • 3.75 ounces of refined shea butter
  • .25 ounces of apricot kernel oil
  • 1.5 ml of spearmint essential oil
  • 1.5 ml of peppermint essential oil

How to Make the Foot Scrub

First, you are going to need to a quality scale in order to weigh out all of the ingredients for the foot scrub. The amounts that are needed of each ingredient are listed above. Once you have weighed the ingredients it is time to begin.

First, you will need to place the shea butter and the coconut oil in a double broiler and then heat until melted. Once melted, remove from the heat. Next, add in the apricot kernel oil and then stir it all together. Now it is time to add in the essential oils. If you are not a fan of mint, you may want to try lavender oil instead. Once these ingredients are mixed together well you will then want to add the sea clay, pumice, and sea salt. You will want to mix these into the liquid until they are evenly combined.

Once you have finished mixing, divide the scrub into two eight ounce jars. The scrub can be stored for quite awhile.

When you are ready to use the scrub simply massage it onto your dry feet and then rinse it off with warm water. You will then want to pat your feet dry.

Tips for Making the Scrub

Since everyone has a different skin type, there is a chance that you may need to make substitutions to suit your particular needs. For example, this recipe calls for finely ground pumice to help provide a gentler exfoliation. However, if your feet are really rough, you may want to choose a grain that is coarser.
