Here is a yummy foot scrub from another cafemom: Go to the greener living tab and it will be found there ! I loved it so much I wanted to place it in my journal so i'll be able to find it easily all summer long !

CafeMom mama0406 offered up this strawberry foot scrub when some moms were talking about homemade beauty recipes.

Homemade Strawberry Foot Scrub

You will need:

  • 8-10 strawberries
  • 2 tablespoons apricot oil (or olive oil)
  • 1 teaspoon of coarse salt -- I like sea salt

How to prepare:

  • Remove stems and chop up strawberries. (Save two thin slices on the side.*)
  • Place in bowl with oil and salt and thoroughly mash to form a paste.
  • Mix all ingredients into a paste.
  • Massage paste onto feet.
  • Put your feet up, take those two slices you had on the side and place over closed eyes.* Strawberries reduces eye puffiness, too! You can also use this scrub for hands.
  • Relax for 5 minutes, then remove slices from eyes and massage scrub off feet in cool water.
