9 Easy Home Remedies For Soft Feet
Skin is exposed to harsh elements on a daily basis, from sun and wind to harsh chemicals and drying soaps. Feet can be a beautiful part of the body. Often, though, people neglect theirs. The skin becomes dry, coarse or cracked. This is far from the ideal of smooth, silky feet. Fortunately, making the skin on your feet smooth is a simple and straightforward process. You can do it overnight and the cost for the materials is very low. In fact, you probably already have everything you need.
Items Needed;
- Lavender or rose essential oil, optional
- Sugar
- 1 whole lemon
- Pumice stone
- Cotton balls
- Coconut, almond or olive oil
- Plush socks
Step 1
Step 2
Dry them off using a soft, clean towel.
Step 3
Slice a lemon in half and dip one-half of the lemon into a small amount of regular sugar. Use the sugared lemon half to scrub any rough areas on your feet. Go over your toes as well using gentle circular motions. If you have particularly rough areas on your feet, use a pumice stone or foot file to smooth out these areas.
Step 4
Rinse off your feet using warm water and towel dry them.
Step 5
Pour a small amount of natural oil, such as coconut, almond or olive oil, onto a small cotton ball.
Step 6
Apply the oil to your feet, making sure to sweep the cotton ball around and between all your toes. Reapply oil to the cotton ball as needed until your skin is lightly coated.
Step 7
Pull on a pair of clean cotton socks or plush socks to keep your feet clean while the oil does its job.
Step 8
Keep the socks on for at least two hours and, ideally, around eight hours. Time this process for around bedtime so that the oils can soak into your skin while you sleep.
Step 9
Repeat the exfoliation process about once a week. You can apply natural oil to your skin as often as every day.
Note
Be aware of any allergies or sensitivities your skin may have before applying lotion or oil. Purchase a deep moisturizing lotion for everyday use between oil treatments to keep your skin happy throughout the day. Reapply after bathe.
