Mayaimi Tropical Feet Treat

Ingredients:

4 Limes, cut in halves

3 Tablespoons Organic Sugar

1 Tablespoon Honey

1 Ounce Virgin Coconut Oil

First: Exfoliate. Place sugar, honey and a few drops of coconut oil in a bowl and mix well. Massage into both feet in a circular motion, moving up to the calves. Using two lime halves for each leg, massage from the foot to the knee, using a circular motion and releasing the lime juice as you apply it to the skin. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse legs.

Then: Moisturize. Place a small amount of coconut oil--about the size of a quarter--and a few drops of honey in the palm of your hand. Mix products, then apply to the soles and heels. Move up to the ankles, calves and toward the knees. Massage each leg for about 5 minutes. Wrap each foot in warm towels. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then use the towels to remove any excess oil.
