Lemon Peppermint Foot Scrub

Thank goodness for Fridays, long holiday weekends, and Lemon Peppermint Foot Scrub! Exfoliating sea salt, lemon peel, cooling peppermint, and sweet almond oil are the perfect way to buff your sandal clad summer feet right into fall flats condition. Have a great holiday weekend and make some home made scrub while you’re at it. Your toes (and heels) will thank me!

Lemon Peppermint Foot Scrub– makes about 8oz

1 cup coarse sea salt
1/2 cup sweet almond oil
2 tsp lemon zest (zest from 1 lemon)
8 drops peppermint essential oil

1. Mix all ingredients in a small bowl and store in a clean 8oz jar.
2. To use: Rub into your wet feet with hands or pumice stone, paying extra attention to your heels. Rinse off with warm water, dry and apply lotion.

Notes on Storage: Make sure to store in a clean jar with a tight fitting lid. Because this scrub has no preservatives I recommend using it within a couple of weeks or keeping it in the refrigerator. Using a clean spoon instead of hands to scoop out scrub is also more sanitary.

    This looks good enough to eat. I think it looks like lemon sorbet 🙂 Can only imagine how lovely it would be to use on my feet!

      Thanks Melissa! Because it has no preservatives, I usually try to use up a batch within a couple of weeks. If you want to keep it longer, I suggest keeping it in the refrigerator.

    I want to make this!!!! I was curious if I could subsitute with coconut oil instead of almond oil?

    • freutcake says

      January 8, 2013 at 8:04 pm

      Yes, absolutely you can sub coconut oil. I use coconut oil in scrubs all the time! Enjoy.

    I made this tonight for 2 friends. I used what was leftover on myself. Oh my goodness. I love this so much! It feels wonderful and is so refreshing! I hope my friends love it as well.
    I ended up using coconut oil. It was perfect!

    Thank you for sharing this!

    Julie 🙂

    How much does this make? I am making favors for a ladies retreat and think that a scrub in a little jar could be cute. I’m not sure how much I would need to make (37 ladies) and perhaps if you could reccomend a scrub that is budget friendly (it may be this one but I figured I’d ask in case there was one that’s cheaper to make). Thanks so much!

    Can you use lemon oil instead? And if so, how many drops?

    • Leah Bergman says

      June 9, 2014 at 8:46 pm

      Absolutely! I love using lemon essential oil in scrubs. I would use 6-8 drops but it depends on your own personal preference and how strong you would like the scent.

    Enjoy reading your post, your picture are awesome. Can i use fine sea salt or rock salt too? 🙂

    • Leah Bergman says

      February 15, 2015 at 8:50 pm

      I’ve never tried rock salt but you can use fine sea salt if you want a more gentle scrub.

    • Leah Bergman says

      February 15, 2015 at 8:50 pm

      Definitely!
