5 DIY scrubs for soft and happy feet
While regular pedicures are beneficial, pampering your tired and undernourished feet with a rejuvenating foot scrub adds an extra layer of defense against aches, pains, infections, and dry skin. Instead of purchasing pricey store-bought foot scrubs, consider making DIY creations with natural ingredients. Let us explore five easy-to-make DIY foot scrubs for that refreshed and revitalized feel.
Coconut lime scrub
In a bowl, combine one cup of granulated sugar, half semi-ground orange peel, one-fourth cup of coconut oil, and the zest of one lime. Gently massage the mixture onto your feet, paying attention to rough areas. Rinse thoroughly to reveal the refreshing and invigorating tropical scent. This DIY scrub provides a natural and aromatic exfoliating experience, bringing the spa day essence to your home.
Peppermint scrub
For a refreshing treat, whip up this peppermint epsom salt scrub. In a bowl, mix cup cup of Epsom salt, one-fourth cup of olive oil, and 10 drops of peppermint essential oil. Gently massage the mixture onto your feet, focusing on heels and soles. Then rinse off to experience a cool and soothing sensation. The nourishing touch of olive oil effectively moisturises feet.
Honey oatmeal scrub
Create a soothing oatmeal and honey foot scrub using half cup of ground oats, two tablespoons of honey, and two tablespoons of olive oil. Combine the ingredients in a bowl and apply the scrub in gentle circular motions, letting the oats exfoliate. Rinse and massage with almond oil. This DIY blend is a natural and enriching way to hydrate dry and itchy feet.
Milk and sugar scrub
Milk, abundant in lactic acid, effectively breaks down dead skin cells, unveiling soft, radiant skin. Paired with sugar, known for extracting impurites, this simple foot scrub soothes and relieves cracked and sore heels. Combine equal parts milk and water (two cups each) in a tub, soak your feet for 15 minutes, then gently scrub with a mixture of sugar and coconut oil.
Coffee scrub
Revitalize your skin and uplift your senses with a DIY coffee scrub. Mix half cup of finely ground coffee with one-fourth cup of coconut oil, and one tablespoon of raw honey for extra nourishment. Blend this to form a paste. Apply the scrub to your feet in circular motions, allowing the coffee grounds to remove grime while the coconut oil hydrates.
