DIY Peppermint and Tea Tree Foot Balm
As we move toward winter, the air becomes drier, colder, and crisper. Skin starts to become flaky and dry. We tend to turn inward as we stay indoors, away from the cold— a time of purification and release. The following recipe is beneficial for your skin and mood. The butters are rich and nourishing, and the scent is divine. I love cocoa butter with peppermint; it creates a peppermint white chocolate mocha vibe. Peppermint is intellectually stimulating and also supports psychic development, purification, release, and good luck. Tea tree oil is excellent for the feet as it is antifungal and antibacterial. It also brings energies of healing, release, purification, protection, and warding off negative energy. I keep this by my nightstand and apply it to my feet and knees before bed. The end product has a buttery, balmy texture. This recipe will yield one 4-ounce jar. Enjoy!
