gardener my feet take a beating. This peppermint foot balm is full of
all-natural ingredients that heal, soften and soothe so I can spend my time
digging rather than dealing with dry, cracked heels and achy feet. This foot
balm is made to go together harmoniously with this Peppermint Foot Scrub
recipe. After a good soak in warm water, a cooling peppermint foot scrub, this
balm seals in moisture and helps to repair cracks and dryness. A true
peppermint pampering for hard-working feet.healing peppermint foot balm recipe
In the
summer I’m typically flip-flop-clad when I should be wearing steel-toed boots.
I romp around the garden and stomp on a spade with only a tiny bit of foam
between me and the earth. My feet get filthy. So filthy that often times I’m
banned from the house until I hose off those bad boys.
When I come
inside at the end of an exhausting yet invigorating day out in the garden I
follow this routine to soothe my achy feet:
Soak feet in
a warm foot bath filled with this Herbal Foot Soak.
Scrub feet,
ankles, and calves with this Pampering Peppermint Foot Scrub.
Dry feet,
lather on healing foot balm (recipe to follow), and slip socks on.
Go to bed.
The next morning the aches are long gone and the bottom of my feet feel like a
baby’s bottom.
