Summer’s here, and it’s time to break out the flip flops! If you’re like me, you’ve been eagerly waiting to ditch the socks and shoes. But before you show off your feet, they might need a little TLC.

I love walking barefoot or in sandals whenever I can. The downside is that exposed feet need more exfoliation. Here’s an easy DIY foot scrub to help get rid of dry skin and give your feet a refreshing tingle.

Peppermint is great for boosting blood circulation and has antifungal properties. Peppermint oil, with its menthol content, provides a cooling sensation, nourishes dull skin, and improves the texture of oily skin. It can also help prevent nail fungus.

Supplies:
– ½ cup Epsom salt
– ½ cup sugar
– ½ cup melted coconut oil
– ¼ cup dried peppermint leaves (optional)
– 8-10 drops peppermint essential oil
– Glass jar

Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: Combine the Epsom salts, sugar, and dried peppermint leaves in the glass jar. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

2. Add Essential Oil: Add 8-10 drops of peppermint essential oil to the melted coconut oil. You can add more if you like, but be cautious—peppermint oil is potent!

3. Add the Melted Coconut Oil: Slowly pour the melted coconut oil into the jar with the dry ingredients.

4. Mix: Stir thoroughly until everything is evenly mixed.

How to Use:

1. Soak your feet in a warm basin of water for 10-15 minutes.
2. Use a nail brush to clean around your toenails and remove dirt from cracks in your heels.
3. Follow up with a pumice stone to remove more dry skin from your heels.
4. Take a generous handful of the peppermint scrub and rub it all over your feet. You’ll feel the tingle right away!
5. Rinse off with warm water. Be careful when you step out, as the coconut oil will make your feet slippery.
6. Towel dry your feet and apply Peppermint Heel Cream.

Give your feet a weekly spa treatment to keep them happy and healthy.
