How to Make Rosemary Mint Foot Scrub

When it comes to beauty treatments, many of us forget our poor, tired feet. A quick foot scrub will not only make your feet beautiful, it can also calm a stressed mind. A rosemary mint food scrub is easy to make, and your feet will feel like new. The peppermint will cool and refresh your feet, and the oils will soften dry, calloused skin.

Things You'll Need

• 3 cups sugar
• Small mixing bowl
• 1/2 cup liquid castile soap
• 1 1/4 cup grapeseed oil or sweet almond oil
• 1/2 tsp. spearmint essential oil
• 1/2 tsp. peppermint essential oil
• 1/2 tsp. rosemary essential oil
• Small wide-mouth jars with secure lid

Instructions

1. Measure the white sugar into a small mixing bowl.

2. Stir in the liquid castile soap and the grapeseed or sweet almond oil.

3. Add the spearmint, peppermint and rosemary essential oil, and mix well.

4. Place the rosemary mint foot scrub in a small, wide-mouth jar and attach the lid securely.

Tips & Warnings

• Scrub your feet with the rosemary mint scrub, paying extra attention to calloused, dry and rough areas. Leave the scrub on your feet and wrap them in warm, damp towels covered with dry towels. Wipe the rosemary mint scrub off your feet after about 5 minutes, massaging any excess oil into your skin.

• You can substitute extra-virgin cold pressed olive oil for grapeseed oil or sweet almond oil.

• Liquid castile soap is preferable, but you can use unscented shampoo instead.

• For a slightly different rosemary mint foot scrub, substitute sea salt for the sugar, but don't use salt if you have any sores or cracked skin on your feet.
