Like the idea of getting rid of those nasty chemicals in your home
but just not sure how to start?
Well, I recommend, one recipe or product at a time!
This foot scrub is a great place to begin. And it's super easy.
Make it for yourself or give it to a friend :)

Minty Lavender Foot Scrub
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup Epsom salt OR sugar
- 1/4 cup sweet almond oil
- 1/8 tsp Vitamin E Oil (or two capsules, cut open and squeezed into the bowl!)
- 15 drops Young Living Essential Oil of your choice (we used Lavender & Peppermint)
Pour 1/4 cup of either coarse epsom salt OR sugar in a bowl..more if you want it drier.
(NOTE: while salt works very well as an exfoliating agent, it can sting if it gets into open cuts or sores, so be sure to either warn recipients to only use on unbroken skin, or use sugar as your exfoliator instead).
Add 1/4 cup of sweet almond oil and stir together.
Stir in 1/8 tsp Vitamin E oil
Stir in 15 drops of your favorite Young Living Essential Oil or Blend.
(I did 10 drops of Lavender and 5 drops of Peppermint!)
Pour the mixture into a small wide-mouth glass jar, or in a 4 oz. plastic salve container.
To use, place a small amount in your palm and gently massage over moistened skin. Rinse off.
(NOTE: the oils in this scrub can make the floor of the bathtub or shower rather slippery, so use extreme caution while rinsing off so you don’t fall. A pot or small foot bath container is a nice option).
