Foot Scrub Recipe

"Think of the magic of that foot, comparatively small, upon which your whole weight rests. It's a miracle, and the dance... is a celebration of that miracle." ~ Martha Washington.

And imagine someone dancing in front of you with perfect swan like poise when you notice her numerously fissured heels which have permanently taken on a shade of gray and people, now can only dare to guess what the original complexion of it originally was. Yuck, isn't it? Anybody with feet like that can not only forget about wearing flip-flop and summer-y sandals ever again, but will also have to think twice before reaching out for those sexy strappy high stilettos which reveal the heels! So, in order to avoid such a predicament, why not keep your feet skin clean, grime-free and well exfoliated. Scrubbing also is a regular foot care requirement, given that the hard skin accumulation process is rather quick in the feet. Pedicures and spa treatments help, yes. But they are all awfully exorbitant and one sometimes has to go without food for the whole of next week after indulging in one such spa experience. So, here are some scintillating homemade foot scrub recipes which can be made with the simplest of larder ingredients, for you to have feet as smooth and soft as a baby's butt! So, let's learn how to make foot scrub.

Homemade Foot Scrub Recipes

Before beginning with the recipes, I must tell you that you must use a foot scrub only after you have soaked your foot in some lukewarm water, for a minimum of 15 minutes. This is because a foot soak softens the hardened dead cells that form a thick layer at the heels. You can also make rather soothing foot soaks at home by either adding 2 cupfuls of black coffee or a single cup of honey in a gallon of water. However, my favorite foot soak is one which can be made from a cup of lemon juice, ¼th cup of and 3 generous tablespoonfuls of gorgeous olive oil. Mix these well and then pour it into a gallon of mildly warm water. You will literally experience bliss! After soaking it into this foot soak, scrub your feet.
