At the end of a long day, my feet definitely need some TLC. After being stuffed into shoes and pounding the pavement day in and day out, it’s time for our soles (and souls) to have a nice, long. relaxing soak.
This pampering and rejuvenating peppermint foot soak just has three ingredients: epsom salt, peppermint essential oil, and coconut oil.
Epsom salts have been used for ages to soothe achy feet and muscles. They easily dissolve in water and keep your feet looking pretty instead of turning into prunes when soaking them in water. Did you know that if you add enough epsom salt in water, your body will actually float? Maybe we should add more salt into this foot soak to try out levitation!
The coconut oil in this foot scrub softens rough skin patches. Coconut oil is one of my favorite moisturizers because it helps lock in moisture in the skin.
A drop of peppermint oil adds a refreshing scent, improves circulation, and energizes tired feet. It gives feet a much needed pick-me-up!
Put them all together, and you have the perfect treat for your feet!
Hey, that rhymes. Should we keep going?
Give me a beat!
Hey, feet!
Sorry I haven’t been treating you so sweet,
It’s time you deserve a treat,
So I whipped up something that’s neat,

Peppermint Epsom Foot Soak notes:
-If you use this in the shower or tub, it might make the floor slippery. It’s best to use this in a separate foot basin.
- ½ cup epsom salt
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 drop peppermint essential oil
- Fill a basin with warm water and add the ingredients into the water. Relax and soak for 10 minutes.
We should all be allowed to have a great foot soak like this every day! (Whether our feet stink or not!)
Totally agree, Karen! 🙂
Can I make ths scrub with Eucalyptus oil & Eucalyptus epsom salt. would I still use the Coconut oil. would I be able to use asa body srub?
I think you can use eucalyptus oil, but you would still need to use the coconut oil as a carrier oil. Eucalyptus oil by itself may irritate/burn the skin, so you definitely need to dilute it with a generous amount of carrier oil. I would do a small test patch on your skin before trying it on larger areas!
