Refreshing Strawberry Hand and Foot Scrub
This recipe can utilize over ripe or under-ripe berries. Feel free to add any other berries you may have to
o!
- 8-10 Strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Almond, Apricot, Olive, or Avocado Oil (my new fave is Avocado!)
- 1 teaspoon of coarse Sea Salt
- 3 drops of Ylang Ylang (optional)
Clean and rinse strawberries, mash or puree in a blender.
Mix all ingredients together really well.
Then massage into hands and feet, rinse, and pat dry.
Strawberries contain a natural fruit acid which aids in exfoliation. Plus strawberries are chock full of numerous Polyphenols which can act as antioxidants.
**If you are really feeling like treating yourself, soak hands and feet in warm sea salt water for a few minutes before applying. Add a few drops of pepperming to the foot bath.

This would make my yoga-weary feet feel (and smell!) wonderful. Thanks for the how-to!
THIS is awesome. I buy a lot of strawberries, but every now and then I end up with more than we can eat. What a great way to make a good use of them!

wow i love strawberries and now i have more than one use for them, i also heard somewhere that strawberries help to whiter your teeth
Great use for over-ripe fruit!!
This sounds amazing! I love making my own potions!
Yeah – sounds lovely. I always see clearance strawberries at Meijer and they never look as fresh and beautiful as the non – clearance ones and so I never buy them. But for 50 cents or whatever I’m going to do that. My feet deserve some TLC, I don’t think I’ve paid much attention to them all summer. Thanks for the recipe.

Sounds great but I don’t think I’d want to waste eating the strawberries …
Wow this looks really great. And it is so darn easy. I need to go get some course sea salt, I only have fine. But then I am making this, my feet are in need of some help!
