Your feet are the most hardworking part of your body. They carry you around the whole day. And what treatment are they meted out? They remain uncared for; away from the sight in unhealthy socks and uncomfortable shoes. They need your attention too. Lavish some love and care on them, the nature’s way. You can always buy plenty of foot care products off the shelves. They may be full off natural ingredients but can no where close to foot care remedies that you can prepare at home, with stuff right out of your refrigerator.
Your feet may be way away from your head but that does not mean you don’t have to think about them. If you ignore them, sooner or later they will make their presence felt in a way you will not be happy about. The minimum that you can do is washing them with soap every night and better still if you can soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes before hitting the bed.
Cracked or calloused feet are the most common feet problems. These are caused by very dry feet. Try this simple remedy every night before you go to bed. Add two cupfuls of whole milk to 7 cupfuls of water. Heat it as hot as you can bear. Pour it into a bucket and soak your feet. After 10 minutes rinse off with normal water. Remove the calluses and dead skin form your feet with the help of a foot file or pumice stone. Don’t over scrub, as hard scrubbing can cause bleeding.
You can make a good foot scrub at home to give your feet a treat. Mix half a cup sugar with 2tbsp of lotion. Apply this on your feet and rub it in well. The sugar is a great exfoliant and your feet will love the treat. Rinse with warm water.
Your feet get really dry as they don’t have oil producing glands. It makes sense to use a heavy moisturizer for the feet. If you want really soft and tender feet try this simple and effective remedy. Rub in plenty of olive oil into your parched feet. Especially areas like the heels. Wear plastic wraps on your feet and put on socks. Leave them on for about an hour. Remove the plastic wraps and don the socks as you retire for bed. The plastic traps the body heat and forces the oil to work as a deep conditioner.
How about a natural foot-spray? Take a spray bottle and pour in 14 cups of vodka, #1109; cup baking soda and #1112; tsp of tea tree and peppermint essential oils. Shake the bottle well and spray a fine mist on to your feet. Your feet will love this refreshing spray.
Your feet are a hard working lot and need plenty of care and love. A few simple foot care remedies will go a long way if used regularly. They will keep your feet so beautiful, tender and soft that you will be tempted to show them off at the slightest opportunity.
