home made foot scrub

The skin of your feet needs to be exfoliated and renewed like the skin in any other part of your body. There are different types of scrubs that are available in the market today. But you can try this homemade foot scrub and you will realize that is just as good as any of the commercially available foot scrubs. Before scrubbing your feet you can soak it in a homemade foot soak. Given below is the foot soak recipe.

Foot Soak Recipe:
½ cup sea salt
3 slices of lime
5 to 10 mint leaves
5 drops of essential lime oil
Combine all these and add to a basin filled with warm water.

Scrub Recipe
3 limes
2 tablespoons of white sugar
1 tablespoon of sweet almond oil
15 fresh mint leaves (chopped)
5 drops of lime essential oil
Cut the limes into small pieces and pulse these pieces into a thick pulp in a food processor. Mix this lime and the remaining ingredients in a small bowl.

Soak your feet in the homemade soak for 5 minutes. Then apply the homemade foot scrub with your hands using circular movements around the foot, ankles and calf. Remove the scrub with a warm, damp towel and then apply a mint moisturizer all over your feet.

Hi,

Thanks for the wonderful home made foot scrub.

I would like to add a small thing to this:

To keep yourself away from crack heels, I apply mustard oil every night and wear old socks to prevent spreading oil on the bed covers. This makes my feet look healthy & shining and prevents the dryness.
