Ashi-Yu (足湯) is a Japanese practice that involves a therapeutic foot bath, known for its ability to enhance relaxation and promote blood circulation. Inspired by this traditional wellness ritual, I have developed a foot scrub infused with aromatic essences that not only soothes the senses but also offers notable benefits for mental health and aesthetic appeal. This scrub is a fusion of age-old Japanese traditions and modern skincare science, designed to rejuvenate and beautify with every use.”
Rosemary is best known for its aromatic and therapeutic properties, and additionally offers benefits when applied to the feet, including improved blood circulation. Shea butter is packed with vitamins A, E, and F, essential fatty acids & may help to improve skin elasticity and protection of the skin.
Coconut oil in this scrub contains fatty acids, like linoleic acid and lauric acid which is antimicrobial as well as extra hydrating to the feet and hands.
