Good morning, I have decided to try to make a natural version of a Soothing Magnesium Foot Scrub and a Scouring Powder. Both of these recipes are quick and simple. A homemade magnesium scrub is a perfect solution to dry winter skin. I love using it to exfoliate feet, but it can really be used on face and body as well. It leaves skin tingly and smooth and is completely natural.
For the foot scrub you will need Liquid Castile Soap, Epson salts, and essential oils. The oil base moisturizes skin, which the roughness of the magnesium exfoliates. A few of my favorite oils are lavender, vanilla, lemon, citrus and peppermint.
1 cup of Epsom salt
¼ cup olive oil or almond oil 1 teaspoon liquid Castile soap (optional, makes texture slightly smoother)
10-15 drops of essential oils
In a small bowl, mix all ingredients and add essential oils or scents until desired scent is achieved.
Store in airtight container and use a teaspoon sized amount to exfoliate feet or body as needed.
Rinse after use.
Check back later this week for the recipe for a Natural version of Vicks and cough drops. If you have tried this recipe let me know how it worked for you.
