How to make a mint foot scrub to revitalise tired feet

Walking and standing on our feet all day can soon take their toll. Rough skin, aching muscles and callouses are just a few of the problems which can result. Treat your feet to a once-a-week soak and scrub and you'll soon see and feel the benefits or regular pampering.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 1/2 c sea salt
• 3 slices lime
• 10 mint leaves
• 5 drops essential lime oil
• 3 limes
• 2 tbsp white sugar
• 1 tbsp sweet almond oil
• 15 mint leaves chopped
• 5 drops lime essential oil

1. Create a bath soak for your feet by filling a basin half way with warm water. Add into it 1/2 c sea salt, 3 slices of lime, 10 mint leaves and 5 drops of essential lime oil.
2. Leave your feet feeling zingy with a touch of lime. To create your scrub, cut your 3 limes into small pieces and beat to a pulp using a food processor.
3. Place limes in a small bowl and add to it sugar, sweet almond oil, chopped mint and essential lime oil. Mix well.
4. Place your feet in basin to soak for 5 to 10 minutes.
5. Remove feet from basin and apply foot scrub in a circular motion on the tops and bottoms of your feet. Pay special attention to the ball of your foot as well as your heel.
6. Remove scrub with a damp warm cloth and dry.
