A lot of women fall flat on self-pampering in the process of having to multitask between commitments from career, home and family. In such case, going for regular reflexology is hardly a consideration, the little free time gotten is always credited to quick naps. Plus, reflexology can be rather time consuming and costly, which explains why most of us opt for commercial versions of simple foot scrubs sold in beauty stores instead.
But here is a better deal. Not only do you get to indulge in the fun of creating a homemade foot massage, but also at the same time optimize its benefits by customizing the ingredients used in it according to skin types. Nevertheless, it saves time and is cheaper than your commercial foot scrubs or free at all!
Tea tree + Mint
This is a simple yet refreshing foot exfoliator. Grab a handful of sea salt, and throw it into a bowl. Into the bowl, add about two tablespoons of olive oil and few drops of tea tree and peppermint oil each. Mix these ingredients well and scrub it on your feet. In the case of a cracked heel, a slight sting might be noticed upon scrubbing, don’t freak out. It’s the work of the salt and tea tree oil, which are responsible for killing any bacteria found on skin.
