Tips & Warnings

Massage the ginger, orange and cayenne scrub into both feet, rubbing in a circular motion. Pay extra attention to dry areas and callouses. Leave the scrub on your feet for a few minutes, and then wipe it off with a warm, damp towel.
If you apply your foot scrub in the bathtub, be sure to rinse the tub well when you're finished.
If you don't have jojoba or sunflower oil, you can substitute cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil instead.
