Ginger Foot Scrub Recipe

Makes: ~1 cup (enough for 2–3 uses)
Shelf life: ~2–3 weeks in a sealed jar (store in a cool, dry place)

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Epsom salt (detoxifies + relaxes muscles)
  • ½ cup brown sugar (gentle exfoliant with natural glycolic acid)
  • ¼ cup coconut oil (moisturizes + softens calluses)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger (boosts circulation + warms tired feet)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice or zest (fresh scent, mild brightening)
  • 4–6 drops essential oil (optional — try peppermint, lavender, or ginger)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Epsom salt and brown sugar in a bowl.
  2. Add the coconut oil (melted but not hot) and stir until evenly coated.
  3. Grate fresh ginger finely and stir in, along with lemon and essential oils.
  4. Spoon into a small glass jar with a tight lid.

How to Use

  • Soak your feet in warm water for 5–10 minutes.
  • Scoop a tablespoon of scrub and massage onto feet in circular motions, especially heels and rough areas.
  • Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
  • Follow with a rich foot cream or shea butter and cozy socks for deep hydration.

💛 A little extra love for your feet…

I like to pair this scrub with a pumice stone for rough spots and use as organic as I can.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Pumice Stone – gentle + eco-friendly option

Pure Epsom Salt – unscented, perfect for soaks

Take a few minutes just for you — your feet (and mind) will thank you
