Add 8 drops of your YL Peppermint essential oils and 8 drops of your Wintergreen essential oil.
Mix everything together and them transfer to your jar. Your homemade foot cream is now ready to use!
How To Use Natural Food Cream
If you want to go all out for a relaxing foot treatment, first use a homemade foot scrub to get off all the dead skin. Then apply the cooling foot cream for really refreshed feet.
Take a small scoop out and massage onto tops and bottoms of feet. Kick your feet up and let the cooling properties of the essential oils refresh and cool your tired feet.
To make feet feel extra good, get a hand towel and soak it in water. Ring the water out and place in microwave till warm (30-50 seconds). Wrap the warm towel around oily feet and stick in a bag or bowl to contain the mess while you relax.

Thanks for this recipe so I can make my own diy foot cream. I recently switched to using eco-friendly products, clothes, food and everything that does not harm nature! This is very important, because we pollute the planet very much, and if we continue, by 2038 there will be a global water shortage and not only this!
