I confess, when I'm home I am usually shoeless. And living in South Texas, 90% of the year I am in sandals. My feet get dry and calloused. After a couple of annoying nights dealing with dry itchy feet I set out to find a natural foot scrub I could make at home and came across this wonderful recipe just perfect for spring strawberry season, and it makes just the right amount I'll use up before it goes bad. Strawberries are rich in alpha-hydroxy acid which helps get rid of dead skin cells. Peppermint cools and soothes the skin with a pleasant tingle. This scrub smells delicious and is a great way to get your feet summer ready.
