Since I live in the south, I spend over 6 months out of the year in sandals and flip flops. In fact, I have already started wearing them with the unusually warm spring weather we are having this year! There is no reason to be self conscious if you have less than perfect looking feet! There are a number of natural beauty products on the market to help you put your best foot forward this summer! Don’t have a lot of money to spend on expensive foot care products? Not a problem!

Natural Beauty: Homemade sugar scrub
1. Choose your exfoliate: Simple sugar or table salt will provide plenty of roughness to buff away dead skin. Sugar tends to be gentler on the skin than salt. If you have very sensitive skin, you might try dark brown sugar.
2. Choose your oil: You can use baby oil, extra virgin coconut oil, almond oil, safflower, vegetable. or even olive oil.
3. Choose your scent: Add any essential oil to the mix to give it a pretty scent.
Ingredients
1/2 cup virgin coconut oil
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp peppermint oil
Directions
1. Place the oil in a 2 cup glass measuring cup. If you are using coconut oil you may have to microwave it for a few seconds to get it to melt.
2. Add sugar and essential oil and mix gently.
3. Place in jar
You will need to stir it up a bit right before you use it since the sugar has a tendency to come out of solution. Soak your feet in warm water for a few minutes to soften the skin. Use a palm full of sugar scrub on the heals, toes, and other rough spots. Rinse with warm water and follow up with a good moisturizer. Now you are ready to show off your sexy feet in a pair of sandals or flip flops! Natural beauty products are easy to make and save you tons of money!
