Fresh fruits and nourishing oils are pure, potent sources of vitamins, antioxidants and moisture. "Strawberries are as good on your body as they are in bowl," says cookbook author Linda West Eckhardt. The ripe berries we used in our Strawberry Foot Exfoliant contain not only vitamin C but also salicylic acid, which helps to slough off rough, dead skin.
Strawberries contain a lot of water, so overblending will make this exfoliant too liquid. To use, massage into feet, rinse and dry off.
8 strawberries, lightly mashed
3 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
Make the exfoliant: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix until just combined. Use immediately.
