Soft Heel Scrub and Balm Ritual

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon fine brown sugar or caster sugar
• 1 tablespoon oat flour
• 1 teaspoon jojoba oil
• ½ teaspoon shea butter, softened
• Optional: 1 drop vanilla extract for scent

How to prepare

1. Mix sugar and oat flour in a clean bowl.
2. Add jojoba oil and softened shea butter.
3. Stir until the texture looks like a soft paste, not a dry scrub.
4. Use immediately; do not store a wet bathroom batch.

How to use on heels

1. Soak feet in warm water for 3–5 minutes, then pat damp.
2. Massage the mixture over heel areas with light pressure for 30–45 seconds per foot.
3. Rinse carefully and wash the shower or tub floor because oils can feel slippery.
4. Apply a plain body balm or moisturizer and put on clean socks if comfortable.

Safety notes

• Do not use on cracked, bleeding, infected, irritated, or diabetic foot concerns.
• Do not use on the face, neck, or freshly shaved skin.
• Stop if it stings or feels uncomfortable.
• For painful cracks or persistent foot issues, choose professional care instead of DIY scrubbing.

Quick checklist

• Heel areas only.
• Use fine grains, not coarse salt.
• Light pressure is enough.
• Moisturize after rinsing.
