Three beautiful homemade foot scrub recipes

Many people don’t think to include their feet in their skincare regime, but in fact the skin on our feet can quickly become dry and cracked.So if your feet are looking a little worse for wear, it might be time for a homemade foot scrub.Using pantry cupboard ingredients, you can throw together a foot-loving scrub that will leave you feeling super smooth.

Each recipe makes enough for one application. Feel free to make more and store in a jar with a lid for later use.

Coffee and coconut scrub

Finally, a use for all of the leftover coffee from your coffee machine or stove top coffee maker! In a small bowl, mix together two tablespoons coffee grounds, two tablespoons coconut oil (melted) and two tablespoons sugar.

Lavender salt scrub

Simply mix three tablespoons salt (any salt works well) with enough olive oil to make a paste. Once combined, add three drops of your favourite essential oil. Lavender is a great choice as it is relaxing, but you may prefer the invigorating scent of peppermint or the freshness of orange.

Oatmeal scrub

Mix together two tablespoons porridge oats with one teaspoon baking soda. Add enough water to make a smooth paste.

Directions for each scrub:

Wet your feet in a bucket of warm water, then place your feet on a towel. Gently massage the scrub into your feet, paying particular attention to the any dry spots such as heels. Leave for 5 minutes to absorb, and then rinse off in the warm water. Pat try with the towel and enjoy the super smoothness.
