face cream recipes
Saturday, April 17th, 2010
We often find our feet callous and cracked, dried out. A foot scrub is what our feet need so that the dead skin layer can be removed and the new one can emerge. Facial exfoliants and body scrubs have the same effect. They should be applied after you have taken a shower or have soaked your feet in a homemade foot soak. This way the skin is softened and easier to scrub off.
Homemade foot scrub recipes come with different ingredients. Each has to have an exfoliating agent: sea salt, brown sugar, Epsom salt, oatmeal. Each one also has to have a relaxing and soothing ingredient that calms the skin down and prevents any possible irritations.
Lets start with a simple scrub
Brown sugar foot scrub
Same as in the brown sugar body scrub, brown sugar helps slough off the dead skin cells.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground oats
2 tablespoons aloe vera gel
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon almond oil (in case you don’t have almond oil, use olive oil, it is a great substitute).
Preparation
- Before you start preparing this scrub, grind the oatmeal using a coffee grunder or food processor. It has to be of sandy consistency, flaky and light otherwise it will scratch the skin.
- Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl. Mix until it resembles a paste
- Use circular motion and massage gently.
- Rinse off with warm water.
Salt foot scrub
Ingredients
- 1 cup of sea salt or Epsom salt
- 1/2 cup of cold water
- 2 drops of lavender essential oil
Preparation
- Start off by gradually adding water to salt and lavender oil
- As you are adding it, you want to make sure the mix starts looking like a paste. It has to be not too liquid and not too solid, it should be like soft though otherwise it will run between your fingers
- Rub your feet and soles in circular motion
- Rinse off with warm water
A friend told me about this foot care tip:
Use a regular foot cream or any greasy cream. Apply on your feet and wrap up in foil. Leave the foil on for a couple of hours. After you remove it, the best thing to do is foot massage after which you wipe off the excess cream.
COFFEE FOOT SCRUB
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons of ground coffee (fresh is the best)
- 3 tablespoons of corn meal (or ground oatmeal)
- 3 tablespoons of sea salt or Epsom salt
- 3 tablespoons of Olive or Almond oil
- 2 drops of lavender oil (or peppermint if you don’t need relaxing, but simply want some energy boost)
Preparation
- Mix all the ingredients well
- Scrub your feet in circular motion
- Rinse off with warm water and pat dry
A perfect finish to such decadent pampering would be foot massage, preferably given to you by someone special 
I hope that some of these homemade foot scrubs intrigued you enough to try them and show off wonderfully pedicured feet
