Peppermint Foot Scrub

This Homemade Peppermint Foot Scrub moisturizes, soothes, and refreshes your feet! I walk around barefoot a lot and my feet really show it. I love to use this foot scrub after summer to refresh my feet and remove any dried skin on my heels and all over my feet. It’s also great in the winter when the cold weather leaves my whole body needing a moisture lift.


Peppermint Foot Scrub with Essential Oils

This Peppermint Essential Oil Foot Scrub is super easy, fast, and a great gift for friends or loved ones!

An added bonus about this spa treatment is that I absolutely LOVE the way my hands feel when I’m finished. It’s like a two-in-one hand and foot conditioning treatment. You’ll really notice the silkiness left behind after rinsing.

The avocado oil I used in this recipe is a well-known emollient. The oil comes from the pit of the avocado fruit, and it’s rich in vitamins and perfect for deeply moisturizing dry skin. Learn more about our favorite carrier oils for bath and beauty uses.

Sugar and baking soda make a mild exfoliant that is gentle on feet and hands. The baking soda has cleansing properties that leave feet feeling squeaky clean.

Peppermint Foot Scrub Recipe Ingredients

If you’re gifting this item then it’s so cute to use a chalkboard lid that you can write on the label. I found this jar at the Target dollar spot. That’s right, $1! Then I just added a scrap piece of lace and the gift is perfectly homemade with love!

  • Makes 3/4 of a cup of foot scrub

To Use:

  • Use caution to clean the tub when you’re finished because the oil in this recipe is very slippery

    Very nice idea! Wondering about substituting salt and coconut oil? Any ways to use peppermint or chocolate mint from my garden??

      You could substitute any vegetable carrier oil you like. Coconut oil would work fine as long as it’s stored above 76 degrees. Otherwise the oil will solidify. I prefer to use sugar over salt simply because salt can be irritating to my skin with any little scratch I might have. It is a great alternative for gently scrubbing though.

      I’d love to hear how it goes adding those lovely garden beauties!

    Hi can I know if the glass jars need to be frosted/coloured or would regular glass jars be suitable?

      You can use any glass jar as long as you store in a cool, dark place. Cheers!

    I just made some of these for gifts and love them! The only thing is, you have to double this recipe to fill a 6 oz jar. 🙂
