giving you as many recipes for homemade beauty treatments as we
possibly can! With summer here and cute sandals on sale
everywhere, we're going to give you a nice recipe for a foot scrub
so you feet can definitely look good in those strappy sandals.Lemon
Foot Smoothie:
1 Lemon (peel it and slice in half)
2 tbs. of salt or sugar .
Mix 1/2 lemon and sugar or salt in a small bowl and set
aside. Soak feet in large basin filled with warm water and 1/2
squeezed lemon. then, massage mixture into feet using a loofah
or sponge. This scrub will help slough off dead skin and
calluses.
Callus Smoother Scrub
1 tablespoon sea salt
1 tablespoon calendula oil
5 drops orange or spearmint essential oil
In a small bowl combine all ingredients until the oils completely
cover the salt. Soak and wash your feet to soften the dead, callused
skin. Pat dry. While sitting on the edge of a bathtub or over a
towel or foot tub, massage the mixture into each foot for at least 3
minutes, scrubbing with a moderately firm hand over your callused
areas. Rinse with warm water and roughly rub your feet dry. Put on
socks. A moisturizing calendula oil residue will remain on your
feet; it should continue to soften them for hours. (Recipe
