Happy Friday! It’s that time of year again; New York Fashion Week. As the world’s hottest fashion designers and biggest stars make their way to the Big Apple, everyone is gearing up to make an impression. Whether you’re working long hours behind the scenes or simply strutting in your hottest heels, there’s no doubt that Fashion Week can take its toll on your feet.
Erika Katz, beauty expert and author of Bonding over Beauty, has created a DIY Strawberry Peppermint Foot Scrub that is the perfect remedy! Just follow these simple simple steps and you’ll have a soothing foot scrub in no time – now sit back and relax!
Strawberry Peppermint Foot Scrub
Ingredients:
§ 2 cups pureed strawberries
§ 1 tablespoon of olive oil
§ 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
§ 2 tablespoons of granulated white sugar
§ 4 drops peppermint essential oil
To Make:
Mix all the ingredients well and put into a pretty jar. It’s great to use strawberries in this recipe because they are rich in salicylic acid which helps dead skin shed more easily. The sugar granules also help to exfoliate skin but are super gentle on delicate skin. You can also keep this recipe in the fridge for up to one week.
To use your scrub, simply rub your feet gently in a circular motion, rinse with warm water, and enjoy the results!
