Instructions

1. Try a brown sugar foot scrub and use the leftovers on rough knees or elbows. Use your blender to grind 2 tablespoons uncooked oatmeal into a fine powder. Pour into a small bowl and add 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon each of honey and lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Blend into a paste and then massage into your feet, taking care not to slip on the oil. Rub well into your heels to smooth any rough patches and then rinse with warm water.

2. Rub a sea salt scrub only on your feet or make enough to polish your whole body. Combine 1 cup sea salt or table salt, 1/4 cup uncooked cornmeal and 1/4 cup baby oil, olive oil or sweet almond oil. Wash your feet and then gently rub on the mixture and rinse with cool water.

3. Soothe sensitive skin with an oatmeal and aloe vera foot scrub. Grind 1/4 cup uncooked oatmeal in a blender so it's very fine. Pour it into a bowl with 1/4 cup uncooked cornmeal, 1/4 cup sea salt or kosher salt, 2 tablespoons aloe vera gel and 1/4 cup of your favorite lotion. Mix the ingredients to form a paste. Massage into your feet, paying extra attention to your heels. Rinse off with warm water.
