DIY Foot Lotion

A few weeks ago I saw a recipe for a DIY foot lotion on the DoTERRA website. I have been living in my flip flops all summer and haven't been taking very good care of my feet. So I thought I would give this a try. It was super easy! Here is the recipe and directions:

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon beeswax

2 tablespoons cocoa butter

4 tablespoons shea butter

1 tablespoon  virgin coconut oil

2 tablespoons Fractionated Coconut Oil

5 drops Peppermint essential oil

5 drops Melaleuca essential oil

 

Directions:

1. In small glass container, combine all ingredients except essential oils.
2. Place in saucepan with 1-1.5 inches of boiling water.
3. Stir ingredients until combined (around 5-10 minutes). 
4. Once melted, remove from heat and let rest 3 minutes.
5. Add essential oils and stir.
6. Let mixture come to a solid. To quicken process, place in refrigerator.
7. Once solid, use an electric mixer to whip lotion.
8. Gradually come to high speed and whip for 3-4 minutes or until light and fluffy.
9. Place in container. To use, rub on heels to help soften and soothe them.

I put it on at night before I go to bed or before I put socks on in the morning. I have seen a HUGE difference! The cracks in my heels are almost gone! And the lotion smells amazing!
