DIY foot scrub at home
Our feet take a lot during the
day. They may get tanned easily and often for most of us it is the most neglected
body part. You may notice then that your feet are getting rough and have got
dead skin around the toes and heels. Just like our face and hands they also
need equal attention.
You can go for a pedicure
in a parlor/saloon by a professional but that can be expensive while, it is
something that you can do, even if you don’t want pedicures.
You can try to do foot
scrubbing at home which will not cost of anything though the results will be
effective with smoother and hydrated looking feet.
You will need:
A bucket half filled with
warm water.
Half cup Salt
Half cup Sugar
Half cup Honey or yoghurt
Foot file
Foot cream
First of all you will need
to relax your tired feet by soaking them in that bucket filled with warm water
and before immersing your feet put half a cup of salt. Remember, your feet
should not have any cut or injuries as salt will make it burn, if you do have
then, skip using salt just plain warm water.
Put your feet in that salty
water and relax for 15-20 minutes. Read a magazine to pass the time or listen
to music.
In between that you can mix
half cup of sugar in half cup of honey/yoghurt
Once you have taken out
your feet, the warm water would have relaxed and soothed them and also the dead
skin would have been loosened.
Now, take a foot file and
start rubbing in on your heels and in front of the toes to get rid of the dead
skin.
Be gentle, don’t hurt
yourself.
Once you are done with the
filing. Take the sugar and honey or yoghurt mixture and apply it all over the
feet and massage in circular motions. You will notice how good it feels as all
the tension is relived and feet starts to feel relaxed. Do the massaging and scrubbing
with the mixture for good 10 minutes and then leave it on the feet like a foot
pack for 10 minutes more.
Now, dip you feet in the
warm water which by now would have been normal and rinse the mixture off. Then
take a mug of clean plan water and again pour on the feet to clean them
further.
Take a towel and wipe them,
then proceed with a foot cream. Your Foot scrubbing session is done. Our feet
will say thanks to you for that!
They will look and feel
smoother and tanning will also be removed with this procedure is done
regularly.
