into hands and feet, rinse, and pat dry.
Here's what a journalist had to say about this
recipe:
Store-bought vs. homemade: trying
natural alternatives

By Crystal Chow for
Knight Ridder Newspapers April 19, 2005
(KRT) - What price beauty? Is it really worth
shelling out $10, $20 or more for things like exfoliators and
masques? Even if you scream "Yes!" you still might think about
creating such products at home. Ingredients are usually right at
hand, with preparations costing pennies per application. It's a
natural way to be nice to Mother Earth, too. But can DIY glamorizers
stand polished toe to toe with the store-bought stuff? We had one
tester per treatment find out.
TREATMENT: Hand, foot exfoliator: 8-10 ripe
strawberries, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Mix
together all ingredients, massage into hands and feet, rinse, then
pat dry. (www.spaindex.com)
IS GREEN GREATER? "My skepticism was sky-high
initially. Why would I want to use strawberries as a beauty product
rather than eat them? But wow! This treatment really made a
difference -- my hands were definitely softer. A caveat: The mixture
is lumpy and messy, so apply in the kitchen and don't wear good
clothes."
