Lavender Foot Scrub

 After a long weekend of yard work a cold shower just wasn't enough. My feet were extra sore and needed some love, especially since I've given up nail polish for the summer, eek. I prepared a foot soak with Epsom salts and a little peppermint Dr. Bronner's soap, then used a lavender sugar foot scrub to slough away the... ugliness. The scrub is a quick preparation that will last for quite awhile stored in a jar.

Start of with an exfoliant, either sea salt of sugar. I use a half cup of coarse turbinado sugar. Add a tablespoon of a carrier oil such as sweet almond oil, jojoba, or even olive oil. Top it off with 20 drops of an essential oil; lavender, peppermint, or rosemary. Mix it up evenly and use a handful on your feet or hands for a aromatic exfoliation. When you rinse off what's left, your skin will be renewed to softness. So, treat your feet!

Pampering is always a little nicer in the company of fresh flowers!
