Homemade Feet Treat

Sure of it my feet just ache some days and they do alot of work, so it will be nice to give them a bit of pampering too.

These recipes sounds great, I`m jotting down the ingredients and off to the supermarket tomorrow. Look out feet, you`re in for a treat!

And another one:

Lavender Foot Bath

Ingredients
5 fragrant fresh roses
10 fresh rosemary sprigs
10 fresh lavender sprigs
10 drops lavender oil
2 lbs Epsom salt

• Remove petals from fresh roses, rosemary leaves & lavender blossoms from sprigs.
• Place epsom salts in nonmetallic bowl, and stir in lavender oil.
• Top with rose petals, rosemary, and lavender. Mix gently and pour into a jar.
• Add a few teaspoons to warm water for a fragrant foot bath.

Here`s one:

What you need –
A few sprigs of peppermint
A few drops of sweet almond oil

What to do –
* Combine peppermint with 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let steep for 5 minutes.
* Fill a foot basin with warm water.
* Pour in the peppermint infusion, along with the sweet almond oil.
* Soak for 10 minutes.

A word of caution – I haven`t tried this myself and I have heard that peppermint can irritate your skin. So if you`ve got super sensitive skin, best be careful before you try it! 😉 Enjoy!

Here is some I`ve found recently!!!

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 grinder 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.

OVERNIGHT FOOT MASQUE

Ingredients

* 1/4 cup almonds
* 1/4 dry oatmeal
* 3 tablespoons food grade cocoa butter
* 2 tablespoons honey

Preparation

* Process almonds in a blender or coffee grinder until finely ground
* Set aside
* In the same blender, pulse your oatmeal until the same consistency
* In a bowl, combine ground oatmeal, cocoa butter, honey, and ground almonds
* Rub into your clean feet, step into cotton socks, and leave on overnight
* The next morning, remove the socks and rinse feet in cool water
* Pat dry
* We recommend you not remove the socks until you`re standing in the tub
