4-Ingredient Easy Foot Scrub
Peppermint will sooth your skin and will stop the growth of any bacteria on the top of the skin. Essential peppermint oil is also found to stop the growth of fungus.
Blackberries are a rich source of vitamins A, B, C, E, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, potassium, copper, iron and more. These magnificent berries contain antioxidants, glucose, sucrose, fructose, carotene, ascorbic, citric, salicylic and other acids. Using them on skin will add the anti-oxidant powers to your skin and the acids in the berries will allow to eliminate all the dead cells collecting and layering on top of each other.
The coconut oil is the ultimate skin soother! Use it regularly, and you will be a proud wearer of baby-like skin.
I like to use raw sugar in this foot scrub recipe. The idea of this recipe is to moisturize and retain the moisture content within the skin. But did you know that raw sugar, being less processed, retains some of the molasses and moisture from the plant? And that’s what we are looking for and needing desperately!
Please note that Raw Sugar is not a Brown Sugar. Brown sugar is refined white sugar with different amounts of molasses added for the taste.

You are so lucky to have fresh peppermint for your portions and lotions making.
Nothing is better than a fresh herb!
I so love doing foot scrub at home! Glad this one is very easy to prepare with ingredients that are just lying around…

It is a tried-and-tested recipe I’ve been making for years now.
And you can change your aroma for it with each new batch.
My feet DESPERATELY need this! I can’t wait to make it.

This is one of my favorites. I keep it in cool place in the bathroom and use during a 7-10 day period.
This foot scrub sounds super amazing and extremely therapeutic! I love that’s its homemade as well!
Kileen,
It is very easy and affordable. We don’t need to pay a ton of money to have a quality skin and foot treatment.
This sounds like an amazing scrub. I have never made one with fruit.
I need to try this recipe I love different kinds of scrubs. I use and make face scrubs all the time!
This is awesome! I need to try it. 🙂
I have made different kinds of scrubs before but never with fresh fruit. How long do they last?
Gloria,
Essential oils act as a preservative!
I make small batches. This amount lasts me about a week, as I use it on my feet every other day.
When in doubt – store in the fridge! But it won’t go bad or rancid!
I enjoy making and using foot scrubs. I’d just be a bit wary of the berries staining.
This would be perfect to get my feet ready to wear some sandals.
This is amazing! I definitely have to try it out!
I am anxious to try making this scrub. Thanks for the recipe!
Debbi,
It’s easy and affordable! I make fresh batches regularly and enjoy mixing some other essential oils into the mix.
LOL I have to admit when I first saw this photo I thought that was some kind of brownie or mug cake. This sounds divine!
This is perfect for Spring to help feet look prettier and smoother for open toe shoes and going to the beach and pool etc.
It sounds like it would smell really nice too!
I also think it would make a nice homemade gift, maybe for Mother’s Day.
This sounds so good. I am on my feet 12 hours a day at work. My feet could really use this. Thank you so much for sharing
Does this need to be refrigerated? How long before it needs to be used up, i.e. what is the shelf life?
Elizab,
This scrub does NOT call for refrigeration! Essential oils act as a preservative.
I mix up mine and leave it in the shower in a jar with a tight lid.
I use it as long as it lasts, did not have any issues ever.
I’ve made plenty of foot scrubs, but nothing with berries. This sounds amazing. I’ll have to try this one day!
This sugar scrub sounds amazing. I currently make my own. It has made a world of difference with my acne.
I actually have all of these ingredients so will have to make this myself! Thanks so much for sharing this.
This sounds like an amazing foot scrub!!! I now my wife has been talking about needing something similar because of wearing sandals all the time right now
I love coconut oil! This definitely sounds like something I need to make!
We’ve made our own scrubs before, but never one specifically for feet! Need to give this a shot!
This is an awesome use of resources! I am glad to have witnessed the preparation and I’msure I’ll make use of your idea! Thanks for sharing!
This is a great scrub for feet, I am in love with having something I can do to cure my awful flip flop feet. Thanks for this!
I want to spoil my feet more, they take a daily beating. I like that this is natural, I try to be sensitive to my skin. Thanks for this idea!
That sounds like a very berry scrumptious foot scrub. I bet it feels and smells delightful. I’m out of my diy foot scrub so I’ll try yours this time.
I love DIY scrub… i often make my own body scrub with coconut oil and other essential oils
That looks and sounds wonderful. Mint is one of my faves so I can only imagine how delicious this berry mint smells! Looks like a great scrub to try out!
Oh it sounds so nice. I have a new jetted tub I can’t wait to use, I might have to make some of this stuff up and then hop in the tub after.
