Exfoliating Foot Mask

• 1/2 C. oatmeal
• 1/2 C. cornmeal
• 1/2 C. coarse salt
• 1/2 C. unscented body lotion
• 4 T. Aloe Vera Gel

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients.
Slide feet into mixture and rub, beginning at toes,
working up to heel and ankle. Do one foot at a time,
rinsing in a separate bowl of warm water.
Cooling Foot and Body Powder

• 1/2 cup powdered arrowroot
• 1/2 cup cosmetic clay
• 2 tbs. powdered ginger
• 20 drops tea tree oil (or lavender essential oil)

This light, fragrant powder absorbs moisture
and fights bacteria to eradicate perspiration and body odor.
It also helps relieve athlete’s foot.
It contains tea tree oil and powdered ginger,
both of which have antiseptic and antifungal action.
If you’re making a body powder, you may prefer to use lavender
essential oil in place of the tea tree oil;
it has a little less antiseptic power, but more fragrance.
Instructions for making powder: In a large jar,
combine the arrowroot, cosmetic clay and ginger.
Cover and shake to mix.
Add the tea tree or lavender oil and shake again.
You may want to sift the powder through a fine mesh strainer to break
up any drops of oil. Store in a covered, dark glass jar.
Apply as needed to feet or body. Stored in a cool, dry place,
the powder will keep indefinitely.
