A foot scrub does something a soak can't — it physically removes the dead skin that builds up on heels and pressure points before it becomes a problem. The salt provides the abrasion, the oils soften as you work, and the combination means you finish with feet that are both exfoliated and conditioned in one step.
HERO INGREDIENT — Cleaning Salt Coarse salt is one of the most effective physical exfoliants for the feet because it's abrasive enough to remove thick callus build-up but dissolves completely in water, leaving no residue. The mineral content also has a mild antiseptic quality. As the salt dissolves during use it releases the carrier oils it was mixed with, transitioning the scrub into a conditioning treatment in the final rinse.
WHAT ELSE IS IN THIS RECIPE
Sweet Almond Oil — light carrier oil that deeply conditions the newly exposed skin as the salt exfoliates — leaves feet soft rather than raw
Vegetable Glycerin — humectant that draws moisture into the skin and extends the conditioning effect after rinsing
Essential Oil — optional — Peppermint or Tea Tree work well; both have a cooling or cleansing quality that suits a foot product
