Exfoliating Foot Scrub Recipe
A foot scrub is a skincare treatment used to exfoliate and cleanse the feet, removing dead skin cells and smoothing rough areas—especially on the heels and soles. It typically contains:
- Exfoliants: Like sugar, salt, or pumice to slough off dry, flaky skin.
- Moisturizers: Such as coconut oil, shea butter, or essential oils to hydrate and soften the skin.
- Fragrances or essential oils: Like peppermint, tea tree, or lavender for a refreshing and sometimes therapeutic scent.
DIY Foot Scrub Ingredients & Supplies Needed:
- Small Mixing Bowl
- 2 Tbsp. Coconut Oil
- Small Glass Jar
- 1/2 Cup Sugar
- TBSP measuring spoon
- Young Living Lime and Peppermint Essential Oils
If you need essential oils, I am a Young Living distributor. Check me out on Instagram for more info.
How To Make Foot Scrub with Essential Oils:
Start by gathering all of your supplies and heading to the kitchen counter. First, grab your mixing bowl and add the 1/2 Cup of sugar first. Next, add 2 TBSP of coconut oil and mix together with the sugar. Once those 2 ingredients are mixed well, you will add your Young Living essential oils as directed below.
For this foot sugar scrub recipe, you will want to add 6 drops of peppermint essential oil (so soothing for achy feet) and 3 drops of the lime essential oil (smells great and is energizing). You can adjust the scent strength a little, but avoid going beyond 12 drops total for this quantity of foot scrub to stay within safe dilution limits. Once those essential oils are added, give a good mix and then transfer to your small glass jar. That’s it! Your DIY foot scrub is all ready. How easy, right?
How to Use Foot Scrub:
- Soak your feet in warm water for 10–15 minutes.
- Apply the scrub and gently massage in circular motions.
- Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
- Follow up with a rich foot cream or moisturizer.
Make sure to towel dry your feet or slip socks on while the moisture is absorbed. You can use this DIY foot scrub a few times a week to help keep your feet exfoliated and soft during those summer months. Say goodbye to dry skin and hello to soft feet!
To make this homemade food scrub gift ready, just add a label to the lid or just a green ribbon around the top. Pop in a gift bag and you have yourself an easy DIY gift!
