Nothing beats the sensation of massaging a piece of mashed-up fruit like cantaloupe into my feet during a pedicure. The fruit plus a little coconut oil makes a no- soap, non-irritating DIY cleanser.
Fruit and Coconut Oil Cleansers
For a moisturizing, refreshing cleanser, I also knead fruits like banana, avocado or mango on my footsies along with a few teaspoons of coconut oil.
Deep Clean with Coconut Oil
For a deeper clean I mix coconut oil with lime, strawberries or potatoes (use only on cloudy days).
For light exfoliation, I use a pinapple slice or a wet piece of brown coconut husk.
Floral Water and Coconut Oil
Flowers like hibiscus or rose petals are both rich in vitamin C and are good for simply soaking my feet. After soaking, I massage them with coconut oil before going to bed.
I mostly use overripe fruit that I probably am not going to eat for these coconut oil foot cleansers.
