Top 10 Foot Scrubs

WHAT TO EXPECT: The combination of eucalyptus, lemon, and lavender essential oils creates a refreshing sensory experience, while the pumice and sugar cane gently exfoliate your dry skin away.

USER REVIEW: “This scrub is gentle yet minimizes my callouses. I love the eucalyptus scent and the lather! I use this once a week, and a little goes a long way. I also love that it doesn’t leave an oily buildup in my tub like some scrubs.”

WHAT TO EXPECT: This scrub is made with natural ingredients including tea tree oil, plum, and peppermint extract, and the nearly 100 five-star reviews on Walmart’s website bode well for your soles.

AT-HOME PEDICURE TIP: Massage this scrub onto your feet up to three times a week using your hand, a loofah, or a pumice stone, then rinse well with warm water.

WHAT TO EXPECT: The Body Shop formulated this scrub with peppermint oil, which means you’ll experience a cooling and relieving sensation every time you decide to luxuriate in it. And even your toughest callouses don’t stand a chance against the volcanic rock granules.

USER REVIEW: “If you are trying to give yourself a pedicure at home, this is the stuff you need! It is amazing and my achy tired feet love it! I am on my feet 8 hours a day at a hospital, and when I come home my feet are on fire. I put this on and it just totally relieves the pain.” 

WHAT TO EXPECT: Like the name suggests, this scrub is *magic*. Yes, it’s exfoliating, but it’s also ultra-hydrating thanks to the cocoa butter formula.

AT-HOME PEDICURE TIP: For the best results, use this scrub as a part of your nighttime routine. After rinsing it off, apply a moisturizer, then put on a pair of comfy socks.

WHAT TO EXPECT: Cowshed’s products conjure the feeling of a world-class spa experience, right from the comfort of your home. Made with grapefruit, clary sage, and rosemary essential oils, this scrub smells both earthy and extremely delicate.

AT-HOME PEDICURE TIP: Invest in a foot basin (or use your bathtub) to soak your feet for an at-home pedicure. This helps soften your skin, making it easier to exfoliate and trim your cuticles.

WHAT TO EXPECT: A botanical blend of chamomile, elder blossoms, geranium, marigold, and orange blossom creates a therapeutic effect, while pumice granules add just the right amount of coarseness to take on cracked heels.

USER REVIEW: “I used this product on my feet and my hands and they ended up so smooth and soft. I love having soft skin everywhere, and this is just what I needed for my feet. Totally recommend!”

WHAT TO EXPECT: Gehwol is a brand with a cult following, and after using this foot scrub, you’ll understand why. Formulated with bamboo granules, jojoba wax, avocado oil, and honey, you’ll feel like you’ve got a brand new pair of feet after one scrub with this blend.

AT-HOME PEDICURE TIP: When exfoliating, focus on your heels and the balls of your feet (the two areas that roughen up the fastest). And don’t forget between your toes!

WHAT TO EXPECT: Not only is this scrub exfoliating and moisturizing, but the unique blend of mineral content also works to pull out everyday toxins and other impurities. In fact, Barefoot Scientist claims that this purification process is so blissful, you’ll achieve a state of nirvana.

USER REVIEW: “I have to say, Pure Grit is one of those products where you don't want to use too much because you don't want to run out...but then again, you DO want to use a lot because it works. It's thick, it's gritty, it's soothing, and the aroma with the steam of your shower relaxes you.”

WHAT TO EXPECT: If it’s been longer than you can remember since your last pedicure, you might be worried there’s no hope for you—fortunately, you’re wrong, because Formula 10.0.6 is here to save your soles with an apricot seed blend that will send your dead skin right down the drain.

AT-HOME PEDICURE TIP: Before you know it, it will be sandal season. Help prepare your feet to see the light of day with a foot mask.

WHAT TO EXPECT: Dr. Teal’s always delivers a comforting experience, and that hasn’t changed at all with this softening foot scrub. The pure Epsom salt and aloe vera formula is super soothing, and the coconut oil provides long-lasting moisture.

USER REVIEW: “Bought yesterday for the first time. I got it for my caloluses and for dryness. Lotions and such didn't work, so I tried this before going to bed. I exfoliated for about one minute on each foot, then rinsed in warm water. My feet feel sooo soft now!”
