Subjected to many hardships throughout the year, your feet present a massive dryness and it becomes urgent to remedy it. Locked in your shoes all winter and then exposed to the sun, the beach and walking without shoes in the summer, your feet can suffer from these mistreatments, especially if you do not take care of them. From the simple layer of corn on the sole to the cracking of the heels, the hydration level of the feet needs to be maintained on a daily basis. After the shower or the bath, nothing like establishing a moisturizing ritual with a homemade scrub:mix 1 tablespoon of oil (olive or argan), 1 tablespoon of honey and 1 tablespoon of salt. Massage your feet with this mixture, insisting on the driest areas. This natural exfoliant will eliminate dead skin, smooth the soles of the feet, soften and deeply moisturize your feet. If your darling does not hold it against you, remember, before going to bed, to coat your feet with oil and enclose them in cotton socks. Results ? Wake up to soft feet!
After a busy day of stomping around in the office and on public transport, there's nothing like treating yourself to a relaxing moment that will soothe your aching feet. The foot bath remains a base of foot care to be carried out as soon as possible:in a basin of hot water, add about ten drops of essential oil of lavender (muscle relaxant) or peppermint (refreshing and tones the circulation blood) to relieve tension in your feet. Immerse your feet in this bath for about fifteen minutes and take advantage of these few moments to treat yourself to a reading of your favorite magazine. If your goal is to soften the horns of the feet, add coarse sea salt (a good handful) to hot water as well as white vinegar (2 tablespoons) which will act as an emollient and facilitate the passage of pumice stone or scrub.
If we talk about the beauty of the feet, you should in no way neglect your nails for a perfect finish. Often brittle because they are too hard, toenails undergo all year round the various treatments that you inflict on them. No more problems! Thanks to a miracle mixture of baking soda and lemon juice, find pretty nails so you won't be ashamed to show them off. In a lemon juice, add a tablespoon of baking soda:the chemical reaction will make the mixture foam. Immerse your toes in it for a few minutes then rinse with clear water. Once your feet are dry, massage your nails with avocado oil (or even olive or sunflower, more accessible) to moisturize them. The mixture of soda and citric acid is perfect for restoring vigor to nails that lack strength and helps clean them up.
