Natural skincare is a way of life for so many of us. We love to treat our face and skin to the amazing benefits of natural products, but at times it can be easy to forget that our feet deserve the same attention as our face. After all, they carry us around everywhere we go, every single day! It’s a tough job, and we think our feet deserve to be rewarded for all that they do!

 That’s why we have rounded up our favorite products to help you treat your feet! While heading out for a luxurious pedicure may be the ultimate way to treat your feet, we’ve got some amazing products that will help you to keep those toes in tip top shape between pedicures!

1. Peppofoot Stick

Is there really any other place to start than with Peppofoot? It’s a cult favorite and best seller for a reason! If you have ever suffered from rough, dry, cracked feet then you already know the discomfort (and embarrassment) that can cause. No one wants feet that feel like sandpaper! It’s uncomfortable, it’s not cute, but it is a common problem! We’ve been there and, just like many of you, we tried every product on the market in an attempt to find relief! So many foot lotions, creams, and balms make big promises, but fail to deliver. This is exactly why we created Peppofoot!

We can confidently say it is the BEST foot moisturizer around and it always delivers! Seriously, check out the reviews to see for yourself!

So what exactly is it? Peppofoot is a moisturizing foot balm made with high quality, all natural ingredients that work to penetrate the layers of skin and deeply moisturize the feet. The carefully chosen ingredients work together to help relieve the discomfort and embarrassment of dry, cracked feet. Peppofoot is packed with some incredibly moisturizing ingredients including Shea Butter, Apricot Kernel Oil, and Avocado Oil. It also contains natural Tea Tree Oil & Peppermint Oil as well as a small dash of Menthol. These ingredients combine to make it smell amazing and to give a soothing, cooling sensation that feels oh-so-good!

Best of all, it’s a foot balm stick. That means the application is quick, easy, and mess-free! Simply turn the twist up tube, glide along the feet, and then you are done! No more greasy hands!

2. Euca-Mint Loofah Soap

We’re going to go ahead and state the obvious here, but there’s no way to get healthy, pampered feet without making sure your feet are thoroughly cleansed! We all know we need clean feet, but finding the best products for the job can be a bit of a challenge!

Because the skin on our feet can be extremely rough, it’s a good idea to wash them with something that provides a little exfoliating power to help slough off thick, rough skin. As the name suggests, our Euca-Mint Loofah soap contains an entire loofah that allows you to take washing your feet to the next level. The loofah works to exfoliate the feet, while the Euca-Mint soap gently yet effectively cleanses the skin. Made with a blend of Eucalyptus and Peppermint Essential oils, it has an invigorating scent that will have you actually looking forward to washing your feet every day!

3. Peppofoot Polish

Once you’ve got those clean feet, it’s time to let them sparkle and shine with the help of Peppofoot Polish! This luxurious exfoliating foot scrub contains extremely fine granules of powdered pumice that gently work to exfoliate the skin on your feet. Unlike other foot scrubs that can be harsh and leave your skin scratched up, Peppofoot Polish offers a gentle and relaxing exfoliating experience that will leave you with soft, smooth skin (no scratches involved!).

In addition to exfoliating the feet, Peppofoot Polish simultaneously works to moisturize at the same time thanks to the addition of Shea Butter, Avocado Oil, and Apricot Kernel Oil. These natural ingredients work to help the feet lock in moisture as they are being exfoliated.

As with all Rinse products, you already know it smells amazing thanks to the addition of 100% natural Peppermint oil! It’s the perfect scrub to use between pedicures to help keep your feet soft and fresh!

4. Peppofoot Refreshing Spray

Pure luxury in a bottle! Peppofoot Refreshing Spray is our perfectly portable pick-me-up for your feet! Sometimes you just need a little something extra to soothe the feet and this cooling foot spray is just the ticket! This refreshing spray is made from a blend of 100% natural Tea Tree and Peppermint Essential Oils along with moisturizing oils such as Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Olive Oil, and Organic Jojoba Oil. It provides a refreshing and cooling sensation without leaving the feet feeling sticky or tacky. As a bonus, it works phenomenally as a linen spray, room spray, yoga mat spray, car spray, and more!

5. Pedi-To-Go

Everything you need in one kit to give yourself the luxury experience of a pedicure right at home! If you’re ready to go all-in on treating your feet, this is the kit for you! It comes complete with a Mini Peppofoot Stick, Peppofoot Refreshing Spray, and Peppofoot Polish so that you have everything you need to pamper your feet. It’s a fantastic starter kit to purchase for yourself if you’re ready to treat your feet! It also makes for an amazing, unique, and thoughtful gift for friends, family, teachers, nurses, or anyone who spends time on their feet!

Here at Rinse, we are obviously big fans of natural products, especially Essential Oils. It would be impossible to pick a favorite, but one that definitely ranks towards the top of our list is Tea Tree Oil! Sometimes it feels like Tea Tree Oil doesn’t quite get the attention it deserves. It may not be as flashy and well known as Peppermint Oil or Lavender Oil, but it sure has some knock-out benefits that we’re certain you will love!

Tea Tree Oil is derived from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia (yeah, we can’t pronounce it either!), commonly known as the Tea Tree! This unique tree is native to Australia, New South Wales, and Queensland. The oil is obtained through a process of steam distilling the leaves to extract the oil. Tea Tree Oil has been used for centuries. The Aboriginal people of Australia discovered the benefits of the oil first. They would crush the leaves to extract the oil which they would use to treat a wide variety of ailments including cuts, burns, and skin infections. They would even bathe in lagoons that were under Tea Trees. The leaves would fall into the waters which would essentially create natural antiseptic baths. The benefits of the Tea Tree quickly became known throughout Australia and physicians began using the oil to sterilize wounds after surgery. Tea Tree Oil was even issued to Australian soldiers during WWII for the treatment of wounds, infections, and more. It wasn’t until more recent history that the “secret” of Tea Tree Oil made it’s way around the world. It has since been widely studied and has become extremely popular among those looking for natural remedies to common ailments and those looking for natural additions to their beauty routines!

So what makes Tea Tree Oil so unique? This powerful, purifying oil has natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. In fact, it is the only oil that actually has an effect on bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. It’s basically an oil straight out of mother natures medicine closet! It has become a popular ingredient in many beauty and skincare products. It can be found in skin creams, massage oils, hair products, and more. Because this oil is so potent, it is not recommended to apply it topically to skin without a carrier oil. Also, it should be noted that despite it’s name including the word “tea,” this oil should never be swallowed!

The uses for Tea Tree Oil are nearly endless. We’ve listed out some of the most common uses below!

Popular Uses:

• Acne & Pimples – No one appreciates those pesky pimples that can pop up at the most inconvenient times. For those who deal with frequent breakouts, Tea Tree Oil may be a natural solution! Several studies from the past couple of decades indicate that Tea Tree Oil is useful in fighting mild to moderate acne and helping to clear up pimples. Because this oil has naturally anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, it is able to help lower bacteria levels on the skin, thus helping to reduce outbreaks. For those concerned that using Tea Tree Oil might clog pores, no need to worry! This oil is non-comedogenic, so it won’t clog up your skin! Give our Tea Tree Mint Soap a shot if you're looking for a gentle, yet powerful Tea Tree Oil cleanser! 

• Dry Skin & Eczema – Tea Tree Oil is an excellent natura solution for treating dry skin and even can be effective at treating eczema. If you have ever dealt with eczema, you know how frustrating this chronic condition can be. The many antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal properties of Tea Tree Oil make it an effective treatment. In fact, a study conducted in 2011 found that topically applied Tea Tree Oil was even more effective at treating eczema than zinc oxide and clobetasone buyrate creams. As always, it is important to use a carrier oil when treating dry skin with Tea Tree Oil. Check out our ready-to-use Tea Tree Mint Body Spread for a quick solution for treating dry skin!

• Oily Skin – If you are someone who battles oily skin, Tea Tree Oil may just be your new best friend! It’s antiseptic properties have been shown to be effective at combating oily skin. Adding just a few drops to your daily moisturizer can help to break up and remove unwanted surface oils from your skin.

• Inflammation – Tea Tree Oil is fantastic for helping to sooth inflamed and irritated skin. It has even been shown to help reduce histamine-induced skin inflammation. Give our Tea Tree Body Bliss Oil a shot for helping to soothe irritated skin.

• Cuts/Wounds/Infections – As we mentioned before, this powerful oil was given to Australian soldiers back during WWII so that they could help to treat cuts & wounds. That’s a pretty ringing endorsement speaking to the effectiveness of Tea Tree Oil! It’s antibacterial properties make it a fantastic natural option for helping to heal wounds.

• Hair & Scalp Health – Tea Tree is excellent for helping with a dry scalp or dry hair. Improper cleaning of hair follicles on the scalp can lead to clogged pores which can lead to dandruff or even hair loss. Tea Tree Oil can help to cleanse the scalp, helping to reduce dandruff. It also can make hair follicles more receptive to nutrition which can help to generally support healthy hair. Adding a few drops of Tea Tree Essential Oil to your shampoo can be a real game changer!

• Psoriasis – Many people who suffer from this autoimmune skin condition have reported that they find relief from using Tea Tree Oil. Many find that it is soothing when applied to the bothersome, scaly patches caused by psoriasis.

• Athletes Foot – If you’ve ever dealt with Athlete’s Foot, you know that this common foot infection can wreak some serious havoc on your feet leaving them feeling scaly, itching, or even painful. Tea Tree Oil can be used as an effective home remedy. Using it with a carrier such as coconut oil may help to treat both the cause (fungus) and the symptoms of this condition. Check out our Tea Tree Mint Loofah Soap which can help to cleanse rough foot skin, as well as our Tea Tree Soaking Salts to give your feet a refreshing, cleansing soak! 

• Burns – While no one ever plans to get burned, it’s unfortunately a reality of life that it happens from time to time! When you are dealing with a burn to your skin, Tea Tree Oil can be an effective home remedy to help provide some much needed relief. It’s antiseptic and antimicrobial properties can help to keep the burned skin clean, while also helping to accelerate the healing which may in turn help reduce the appearance of scars.

• Bug Bites – Yet another unavoidable reality of life, especially during the Summer! If you are sugary sweet and tend to get eaten up by biting bugs, this oil is for you! It can be very helpful for alleviating bug bite pain and reducing inflammation caused by it. Check out our Tea Tree Oil Roll-On for a pre-made, ready-to-apply, convenient option for spot treating those pesky bug bites! 

• Aromatherapy – Tea Tree Oil can be added to a diffuser for a purifying, calming environment. This is great for times when you want to let your brain and body get a little rest and relaxation!

• Expectorant – Australian Aboriginal people have long used a method of crushing Tea Tree leaves and inhaling the oil to help alleviate coughs and colds. It is a little easier to access these days, but the effectiveness of Tea Tree Oils as an expectorant has not changed! Diffusing the oil in combination with using it in a massage oil can help to act as an expectorant, providing relief from coughs, colds, and congestion.

• Cleaning – As many of us are looking to move from traditional (potentially toxic) cleaning products to more natural and safe solutions, we should definitely consider using Tea Tree Oil in our natural cleaning product lineup! Making a home made cleaner is super simple and can be done by adding about 10 drops of the oil to 2 cups of hot water and ½ cup of vinegar! This DIY all purpose cleaner solution can safely and naturally help to disinfect surfaces in your home. Just be sure to steer clear of using it on any granite surfaces!

While our list of uses for Tea Tree Oil could go on for what feels like forever, we think you kind of get the point… this stuff is awesome! Hopefully this list has helped to educate you on how powerful and versatile this oil really is. If you’re ready to give it a try, we’ve got quite a few products that might be just what you’re looking for!  

The weather is warming up and the days are getting longer which can only mean one thing… Summer is here! We all love the magic that Summer holds. It’s a time when we slow down the pace of life a bit.  Kids are out of school, we get to enjoy vacations, and of course spend LOTS of time outside! Who doesn’t love catching a baseball game, grilling out, or hanging at the pool, lake, or beach!? Pretty much all you need to enjoy this time of year is good food, good friends, and a good swimsuit!

There is one more thing that can make this time of year far more enjoyable though, and that’s having Summer ready feet! After spending all winter cooped up and covered by socks and shoes, our feet are about to be set free and enjoy lots of barefoot moments! For most of us, our feet need a little help to make the transition to being Summer ready! The good news is, you don’t need to spend a lot of time or money to get your tootsies in top-notch-shape! Our Peppofoot line of products was designed to help you naturally and effectively get soft, touchable feet! You might be surprised at how easy it is to go from gross winter feet to Summer ready feet with just a little TLC! We’re breaking down our 5 easy steps for Summer ready feet below!

Step 1 – Soak

The very first step to getting your feet prepped for summer is to give them a nice, soaking foot bath! Not only is this step super relaxing, but it also can provide a wide variety of benefits! We recommend adding some Epsom salts to your foot bath to get the most out of this step. Epsom salts have been used for thousands of years to help with a wide range of ailments. Many people find that using Epsom salts can help to relieve aches, pains, and can even decrease inflammation. Considering the many miles we put on our feet, they could surely benefit from that! Soaking the feet can also help to reduce odor and may even help to decrease roughness, leaving you with softer skin.

Check out our Speppermint Epsom Salt Soak for a great Epsom salt addition to your next foot soak! This contains a blend of salts and invigorating Peppermint and Spearmint essential oils that will give you a luxurious soaking experience while soothing your tired feet!

Step 2 – Exfoliate

When you have finished soaking your feet, it’s a great time to go ahead exfoliate them. Exfoliating the feet helps to slough off dead skin cells that can make the feet look unattractive and can also make the feet smell. While our feet are pretty tough, you don’t want to use an exfoliator that is going to irritate your feet. We recommend using Peppofoot Polish Exfoliating Foot Scrub. This scrub features powdered pumice which acts as an effective, natural & gentle exfoliator. In addition, this scrub contains a moisturizing blend of Shea Butter and Avocado Oil so that it inourishes the feet as it exfoliates them.

Step 3 – Moisturize

Now that you have soaked your feet and exfoliated them, it’s time to lock some moisture into those perfectly polished peds! It’s actually a good practice to moisturize your feet daily. Many people experience dry, cracked feet on a regular basis. This is such a common problem because our feet don’t actually have the oil glands that are found on most other parts of the body. Without a constant supply of oil, feet quickly become dry and cracked which can be unsightly at best, and painful at worst! In the past, moisturizing feet was a bit of a messy ordeal that involved getting greasy creams and lotions on your hands, slathering them on your feet, and then having to awkwardly tip toe to the nearest sink to de-grease your hands! Yuck! Fortunately, those problems are no more thanks to Peppofoot Moisturizing Stick!  

Step 4 – Trim

At this point, you’ve put in the work to make your feet feel amazing, so it’s time to level up and make them look amazing by giving your toe nails a trim! Proper nail care is critical for having truly healthy feet. To complete this task, you will simply need a clean set of sharp nail clippers and a nail file. It’s best to trim your nails straight across, giving them a straight or boxy look rather than rounded. This gives a clean and professional look, without putting you at risk for ingrown nails. Once you have finished trimming, give them a completed look by filing them.

Step 5 – Paint

Last step, best step! Make those toes pop with some fresh nail polish! This is where you can let your personality shine! Feel like making a statement? Go bold with a bright, eye catching color! Looking to go more subtle? A soft pastel will do the trick! The opportunities are truly limitless, so have fun with this part!

If you’ve made it through these 5 steps, but are still hungry for more, don’t fret! Here are some “bonus steps” to show your feet a little extra love in between weeks!

• Keep your feet CLEAN! One of the best things you can do to keep your feet Summer-ready is to make sure to clean them well every day. This task calls for something a little more tailored to the job than your regular body soap. You want to use a soap that will clean the feet and also provide some additional exfoliating power. We recommend using our Tea Tree Mint Soap Stick. This handy soap comes in a super convenient twist-up tube which makes it convenient to take with you anywhere (throw it in your gym bag, travel bag, etc). This unique soap helps to give your feet a double cleansing thanks to the soap with Tea Tree Oil that also includes some powdered pumice for a little extra exfoliation!
• Stay cool with a daily spritz! Your feet carry you around everywhere you go. In the Summer time, that can definitely mean that they get hot and sweaty! Give them a little relief from the heat with a cooling spritz of Peppofoot Refreshing Spray!
• After moisturizing, throw on a pair of comfy socks to help retain the moisture! Cotton socks do a great job of helping to keep the moisture in, while helping to keep dirt and debris away from your freshly hydrated feet!
• Get yourself a pair of cute sandals! There’s no better way to show off your Summer-ready feet than with a pair of cute sandals! Make sure to choose some that give your foot the support it needs!
• Feel a blister coming on? Don’t wait for it to fester… nip it in the bud! Try treating it with Calendula Salve. This natural salve has been know to help with naturally treating a variety of skin ailments and wounds.
• Protect your feet from the sun with SPF sunscreen! It’s easy to forget about the tops of your feet when lathering up for a day outside. However, it can be a critical mistake that you pay for later if your feet get burned! Remember to cover them well! If you do end up suffering from a sunburn on your feet, try using a bit of aloe to give them some relief.
• Treat your feet to a massage!

Peppofoot Moisturizing Stick

Pedi-to-Go Set

Peppofoot Polish

Peppofoot Refreshing Spray

Let’s talk about feet. We’ve all got ‘em. Some are pretty, some are ugly, and well, honestly some are really stinky! One of the most common issues people experience when it comes to feet is that they can easily become dry, cracked, and tired! It makes sense when you think about it… After all, our feet carry us around ALL DAY which can’t be an easy task! That said, no one wants to sport a pair of crusty, flaky feet. It’s not cute, and it can even be uncomfortable (not to mention embarrassing!).

If you are looking for a way to show your feet a little extra love and have them soft and touchable in no time (without having to pull out the belt sander), we have got the PERFECT solution for you! Whether your feet are so rough they could cut a diamond mine or whether you are just looking for a little extra pampering between pedi’s, we got you!

It may have a strange name, but our Peppofoot Stick natural foot balm is a real MVP when it comes to taking care of tired tootsies! The Peppofoot stick was the 1st product in the Peppofoot Collection and was developed after we experienced frustrations with other products on the market. So many foot creams and balms either left us feeling too greasy, or the product sunk in too fast, or quite frankly it just didn’t work! Kind of like Goldilocks, we tried everything looking for a product that was “just right,” but since we couldn’t find one that checked all the boxes, we made one!

Peppofoot Moisturizing Stick is made from a rich blend of Shea Butter, Avocado Oil, and Apricot Kernel Oil for superior moisturizing abilities! It also features Peppermint Essential Oil for some minty freshness! Add in Tea Tree Essential Oil for it’s antiseptic properties and a dash of Menthol (for that invigorating toe tingliness) and we found perfection! We truly believe this is the best foot moisturizer on the planet!

Here are a few reasons why we love it so much and why we know you’ll love it too!

1. It WORKS!! This stuff is seriously the jam. Most everyone can tell a difference after just one use! The more consistently you use it, the better the results will be, but you will be amazed at what a difference one application makes! (If it took years for your feet to get trashed, it will take more than 1 night for a full recovery)

2. It’s so easy to use! Rub it on your feet (tops, bottoms. & ankles) at night when you’re lounging around, or in the morning before you take on the day! All it takes is a quick swipe and your toes are golden!

3. Mess-Free Application! The beauty of Peppofoot Stick (aside from the fact that it works phenomenally) is that you don’t have to touch your feet OR the product when applying! One of our pet peeves was rubbing a thick cream on our feet, then having the cream on our hands… then what? You have to get to the sink to wash your hands, but your feet are covered in cream so you feel like you’re stuck… Not a fun situation! Not to worry though, that will be a thing of the past when using Peppofoot!

4. Cotton socks are optional. If you love the coziness of a pair of socks, you can absolutely throw on a pair after applying Peppofoot. On the other hand, if you love being barefoot when you sleep, Peppofoot can still be applied and you can go ahead and put your feet between the sheets with no issues!

5. It’s 100% natural AND gluten free! You know we love keeping it natural around here! 

6. It’s TSA friendly (which means it is your new favorite travel buddy!)

7. It makes for an AMAZING gift! Especially for folks who are on their feet all the time – Medical professionals, teachers, first responders, runners and more!

We pretty much think Peppofoot is the best thing out there, but we don’t want you to just take our word for it! Check out these awesome reviews!

• “I love this foot moisturizing stick! This stick has kept my feet soft and supple. It is very rich and creamy and it goes on so smooth and it is immediately absorbed In my feet. There isn’t a residue like a petroleum product would have. I love that I don’t have to get it on my hands!” – Ann P.

• “I received Peppofoot and stashed it away in a drawer while I was shelling out $40 every three weeks to get a pedicure. Then the world shut down and I was faced with feet that needed a belt sander to get them soft. I filed, I scraped, I sanded and buffed and between being hugely pregnant (where are my feet anyway?) and being in flip flops all the time my feet were drier than the desert. My sweet hubs found this in a drawer and started putting it on my tired tootsies and it was so soothing for my sore and swollen preggo feet.” – Catherine W.

• "AMAZING! It's time to get my feet ready for summer - but we are in the middle of quarantine so I am faced with doing this myself - no quick trips to get a pedi for me! I bought this through a Today Show special and started using it because I like the smell of peppermint. In my quest for summer ready feet, I was dismayed by using the pumice stone on my feetin the shower left them ragged feeling, not smooth. I started slathering this on twice a day and I am amazed at how soft my feet are now! It works so much better than I thought - and I've bought extras for my family so we all have soft minty smelling feet!” - Jenea

• “Cracked heels BE-GONE! I recieved this as a gift for Christmas from my sister in law and this is a great product. I have severe cracked feet and to the point where it stings at times so I would highly recommended this product to anyone with cracked heels , when using this consistently I notice my feet are softer and my heels repair faster.” - Megan
