Sugar Foot Scrub DIY: Lemon & Honey by Carrie from The Lavender Hytta
After a rough week, I love to give myself a little rest and relaxation. Since I do a lot of standing throughout my day, my poor feet get the bad end of the deal. Whenever possible, they get a little extra attention and pampering. I love to make my own mixes, scrubs, and treatments so I knew exactly what I was going to make to thank my feet for how amazing they are. A simple Lemon Drop and Honey Sugar Foot Scrub was just what the doctor ordered.
Essential Oils are all the rage right now. I have quite the collection and I use them for any and everything. There are so many uses for these oils and they are safe to use. One of my favorites is the Lemon Essential Oil. One reason this works in my sugar foot scrub is because lemon can help break down calluses that many of us have after standing on our feet all day. The Lemon Essential Oil is a great antiseptic agent that provides your feet with instant relief and muscle relaxation. Honey, which I know sounds crazy, is also wonderful for your feet. If you have cracks on your heels, honey can help relieve some of the pain caused by the cracks. Lemon Drop and Honey Sugar Foot Scrub is the perfect gift to gift your feet plus it is easy to make.
This recipe makes about 2 16 oz. jars of 4 small jars
