Treat yourself to a soothing and restorative foot spa!

Pamper your feet with a deeply comforting, homemade foot spa! Using warm water and calming holiday essential oils, you can enjoy an invigorating scrub that will leave your tootsies feeling refreshed. With the colder months looming ahead, it's important to look after one of our body’s most neglected parts - especially since they help regulate overall temperature. So let your sole mates bask in some well-deserved relaxation this season!

A luxurious foot soak in warm water with essential oils can really help. A luxurious soak followed by an invigorating scrub is the perfect combination for ultimate foot pampering. Soaking your feet softens and hydrates skin while prepping it for exfoliation of dead cells and calluses with a refreshing scrub to nourish dry soles back to health!

Warm and Cozy Feet is a great foot soak and foot scrub routine that uses warm, comforting essential oils.

Start off with a nice Warm & Cozy Foot Soak!

First, make your essential oil blend. (It's a lot easier to make your blend when your feet aren't soaking yet!)

  • 0.5 fl oz (15 ml) Jojoba Wax (Simmondsia chinensis)

  • 3 drops Mandarin Oil (Citrus reticulata)

Fill your tub with warm water, add in the delightful jojoba and mandarin oil blend, and put both feet in for 15 minutes of blissful soak time. Find your comfiest chair to top it off - you deserve this moment wholly dedicated just to you!

Soak them for however long you like . . . although you might want to finish up before the water gets too cold. 15 minutes is usually good.

Now it's time to scrub away the dead skin!

Here's a Warm & Cozy Feet Salt Scrub blend that I love: 

  • 1 oz (28 gm) pink Himalayan Salt (I like a small to medium salt grain for foot scrubs. Salt grains that are very fine will be too gentle for tough skin on feet.)

  • 1 tsp (5 ml) Vanilla Infused jojoba

  • 1 drop Cardamom essential oil (Ellettaria cardamomum)

  • 2 drops Frankincense essential oil (Boswellia carterii)

Scrub your feet with this special salt blend that draws out toxins, nourishes dry skin, and calms the senses. Add in an invigorating massage for extra self-care, or sit back longer to truly make it your own before retreating into cozy socks just in time for bed. You deserve it!
