Mint & Coconut Milk Cooling Foot Scrub
This combines the exfoliating strength of coarse salt with coconut's rich moisture and peppermint's genuine cooling, invigorating sensation, making it a good end-of-day treatment for hot, tired feet specifically, distinct from the Goat Milk Foot Soak's focus on callus softening.
