I have been experimenting with more homemade skin care
treatments to beautify my feet. This particular recipe does a nice job for
smoothing out some of that tough skin on the bottom and heels of our feet.
Another bonus of this type of scrub is the added advantage
of stimulating blood flow to tired feet. Furthermore, eucalyptus essential
oil in this recipe is an anti-inflammatory agent, which helps keep the skin
healthy.
Massaging this grainy paste against the balls of your
feet, especially seems to restore energy while shedding dead skin. Babying
your feet weekly will make sure foot creams have the best chance of working on the area. Feet will become softer and revitalized.
You will not use the whole recipe. However, don't
worry about the excess because this keeps for several weeks. Divide it up
for at least three or four times.
You can soak your feet first to start the softening
process or simply take some of your mix with you when you are about to
shower. This can be messy, but you are in the shower anyway so no big
deal. All that is left is working this scrub into your feet and give those
puppies that tender loving care they deserve.
Don't be overzealous with this or any
scrub. Otherwise, you risk irritating them.
I hope you try my recipe because it is an amazing homemade
fix.
My Softer Feet Exfoliating Scrub
1-1/2 cups of sea salt
1/4 cup of sweet almond oil
6 drops of eucalyptus essential oil
Mix the ingredients in a small bowl until it resembles a
grainy paste. Then rub this scrub all over those feet, concentrating your
attention on the roughest skin on the bottom before finally showering this
treatment away.
