Spa Pumice Foot Scrub

Hi,

This is a very inexpensive and easy recipe. It's easy enough to make up each time you use it, therefore you don't need the preservative.

If you're giving it for a gift, however, you'll be adding the .5% of Preservative, as letting it just sit and you'll also be making more than this batch (which can be doubled or tripled, etc), in a jar, waiting to be given.

Pumice Foot Scrub

2 Tablespoons Sweet Almond Oil (or other carrier oil of choice, such as golden jojoba oil, extra-virgin olive oil, meadowfoam seed oil, or another, if you have a favorite)

2 Tablespoons Pumice (I use the fine grain, there are that I've seen, three grades and I prefer the fine over the medium and larger grains)

1/4 teaspoon essential oil or blend of oils - good ones are the citrus scents, orange, tangerine, lemon, pink grapefruit, or tea tree is always good too, also the mints - peppermint, spearmint, cornmint or wintergreen. Or a blend of several. Lavender is also always good too.

Just before you'll be using this, UNLESS it's for a gift (see above), mix all ingredients together and that should form a paste. Rub and scrub them into your feet, it's wonderfully exfoliating. Be careful though as this can get a bit slippery till it's rinsed off - get into the shower or tub to finish your shower/bath and rinse off, then enjoy the way your feet feel (and smell!)
