I’ll definitely have to try this scrub soon since I have all the ingredients at home. I bet it smells yummy too!
Glad you have all the ingredients, make it right away. Yes, it smells yummy. Unfortunately, I can’t eat it…haha. Thanks for reading, Veleita.
Hi hi.
Does it stay moist. My scrubs are always rock hard by the second use.
Hi Michelle,
If you store this cinnamon foot scrub in the fridge, yes it would get rock hard as it contains coconut oil.
But it would stay just fine on the countertop.
Another reason why your DIY sugar scrubs may get rock hard is if you scoop with wet hands. The water would melt the sugar and then it becomes candy. lol.
So use a dry spoon to scoop some scrub into another container to use for your DIY pedicure.
I hope this helps.

How much eucalyptus oil do you suggest?
Hi Sarah,
Since Eucalyptus oil or all essential oils are quite strong, 5 to 10 drops should be okay.
I hope this helps.
Thanks for reading and trying to make the cinnamon foot scrub.
Enjoy!

Hi, if I don’t have any sugar on hand can I use finely ground Himalayan pink salt or sea salt?
Hi Carol,
Using salt instead of sugar in the cinnamon foot scrub shouldn’t hurt.
But here’s a pink salt foot scrub recipe you can try instead Pink Himalayan Salt Scrub DIY: 3 Ingredients Foot Scrub.
I hope this helps.
