Pamper your feet with a natural homemade salt scrub that will get rid of any dry, discolored skin and make your feet silky soft. The luxurious scrub gently polishes feet, revealing soft, smooth skin. Lemon and oils are known to nourish and deodorize feet.

BENEFITS:

Sea salt:

Has great exfoliating properties. Buffs away dead skin cells heal skin and keeps it soft. Salt absorbs dirt, grime, and toxins and cleanses your skin's pores deeply. Salt's mineral content helps restore the protective barrier in the skin and helps it hold hydration. The magnesium in sea salt may also help reduce water retention (i.e., bloating) in the body.

Coconut oil: 

Did you know that coconut oil has natural anti-fungal properties? It makes a great moisturizer for your legs, feet, and heels. Use it daily to keep your feet smooth and prevent foot fungus.

Almond oil:

Beyond moisturizing your skin, almond oil is a great massage oil or skin treatment. It also has powerful antifungal properties. Rub it on your feet to prevent athlete's foot or to help remove other fungal infections like ringworm. You can use almond oil as a cleanser or to gently remove makeup as well.

Lemon zest and/or lemon oil:

Lemon essential oil has powerful antifungal properties for treating certain skin overgrowths. In fact, a 2017 review of studies notes it's effective against fungi that cause athlete's foot, thrush, and yeast infections when applied topically.
