Orange Ginger Warming Foot Scrub

We have someone on staff who, when he’s not busy helping with our spa empire, he’s an amateur home-meteorologist.   We recently said “Good morning!” and he replied “Not for anyone East of California.  Did you know 66% of the country is under snow right now?”  That’s a lot of cold feet.  This warming foot scrub is great for the winter, and leaves your feet feeling soft and relaxed. The sugar exfoliates, the almond oil moisturizes, and the Essential Oils and cayenne pepper stimulate blood flow and warm the feet.

Materials

• ¼ cup Sugar (white or brown)
• ¼ cup sweet almond oil (use more for a moist scrub, use less for a dry scrub)
• 6 drops Orange Eessential Oil
• 2 drops ginger Essential Oil
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

• In a plastic bowl, mix together the sugar and almond oil. Add the Essential Oils and stir. Add the cayenne pepper last and stir well to mix.
• To use, sit comfortably in the tub or over a pan of water and/or a large towel to catch the sugar scrub as it is applied. Scoop up a handful of the scrub for each foot and massage vigorously yet with care over heels, ankles, toes, arches and the balls of your feet. Be sure to scrub any rough areas especially well. Rinse.

Spa Index Kitchen Notes

Don’t forget to rinse the tub well when you're finished; you don’t want to take a bath in cayenne pepper! This scrub is also great for the hands. Be very careful not to touch your eyes or delicate areas of your face with this product on your fingers -- the oils and cayenne can burn.
