To keep up all the good that the sun, sand and salt water did for your feet while you were on vacation, here's an amazing, easy treatment to keep your feet happy, especially for the official, upcoming flip flop season: summer.
HOW TO:
In a glass bowl or jar, blend 1 cup of any of the salts or sugars (see below) with 1/2 cup of a carrier oil of your choice.
Add 5 drops of essential oil and mix well.
Massage well on bottoms of feet, ankles and toes (avoid direct eye contact).
Rinse feet well with warm water and dry.
