Easy Homemade Recipe To Pamper Your Tired Feet


After doing all the house chores, a time for some relaxation and pampering is all I want. But it doesn't mean you have to spend a lot of money pampering yourself with facial, or foot spa. You can always innovate and try something that will relax those muscles.
Let me share with you some tips to care and pamper your tired feet.
  • Begin with foot soak. Foot soak is done to soften the calluses and corns. I usually start this by massaging my feet with my favorite lotion or essential oil or baby oil (Or you can start by massaging your feet with petroleum jelly at night, cover it with socks and do the soaking and scrubbing the following morning).Then soak your feet in a basin or bath tub filled with "as hot as you can water" for 15 -30 minutes. You may want to add some sea salt to the water.
  • Its scrub time! Now that the calluses and corns have softened, we can start scrubbing them out. Here are some foot scrub recipes you can try...

Foot Scrub Recipe #1
Mix 2 tbsp. of baking soda, and 2 tbsp. olive oil/ essential oil/ baby oil . I recommend this specially if you have problems with foot odor.


Foot Scrub Recipe #2
Mix 3 tbsp. brown sugar or honey with 2 tbsp olive oil/ essential oil/ baby oil. This is specially good if you have cracked dry heels.


Foot Scrub Recipe #3
You can use St. Ives Exfoliating Apricot Moisturizing Body Wash (still not that expensive, after all its only the jojoba beads that I want from this). Followed by a mixture of 4 tbsp honey and 2 tbsp fresh milk.


...you can start by gently massaging your feet , concentrating on areas with calluses and corns. Use pumice stone, rub it lightly back and forth to file the rough skin. If this is the first time you're doing this, don't force to smooth your feet . After scrubbing, rinse your feet with warm water and pat dry. Apply your favorite moisturizing lotion. You can repeat this 2 to 3 times a week.

If you have tips or recipes that you can share, or have done this, I would like to receive a feed back from you.

Have a happy feet day!!!!
