The Recipes

Chocolate Covered Strawberries Foot Exfoliant

Fresh fruits and nourishing oils are pure, potent sources of vitamins, antioxidants and moisture. "Strawberries are as good on your body as they are in bowl," says cookbook author Linda West Eckhardt. The ripe berries we used in our Strawberry Foot Exfoliant contain not only vitamin C but also salicylic acid, which helps to slough off rough, dead skin.
