Chocolate Mint Foot Rub

Start with a simple, odorless lotion, or use a foot lotion that already contains strong peppermint extracts, such as the Body Shop’s Peppermint Cooling Foot Lotion (see Shopping Sources Guide, page 143). Or, why not make your own lotion? See page 65 for Hint of Cocoa Body Lotion.
