leg. Rinse with warm water. Rosemary, Rose petals and Sugar Ingredients: A few sprigs of rosemary, petals of 1 rose, 1/2 a cup of brown sugar, one tablespoon sesame oil. To prepare this foot scrub, use a mortar and pestle to grind together the rosemary and rose petals - don’t overdo it, you want the texture to
be rough. Mix the pounded ingredients with your sugar, then add in the sesame oil to form a paste. Give your feet a good scrub, and rinse with warm water. Coconut, Peppermint and Sea Salt Ingredients: Three tablespoons of pure coconut oil, 1/2 a cup of salt, 10 drops of peppermint essential oil.
Mix the salt, coconut oil and peppermint oil to form a paste. Rub all over feet and lower leg, then rinse with warm water. The nourishing properties of the coconut oil combined with the exfoliation of the salt makes this scrub an amazing remedy for dry feet.
