Tips For Pampering Your Tired Feet

Show your feet some extra love and attention with these
expert tips and homemade beauty treatments for pampering your feet.

If your feet are dry and cracked from the weather, or just
tired from a long day at work, give your feet a spa-like
treatment at home by using these great tips!

Everyone loves to soak their feet, and a great feet treat
is to fill a pan or bucket with warm water and place 1/2
cup of epsom salts in until dissolved. You can also float
rose petals or add crushed lavender to the water. A few
drops of peppermint oil is also a nice addition for
increased circulation.

Soak your pups in the water mixture and you'll feel the
tension begin to dissolve immediately. This would also be
a good time to experiment with a blended honey and
strawberry mask for the face. Grab a good book or magazine and you're off to the start of a great date!

Foot Massage

Let your feet soak for 10 to 20 minutes and towel dry.
Apply a good moisturizing lotion (preferably with
peppermint) and massage the feet (or better yet have
someone else do it for you) to increase circulation -- or
apply a honey, rosemary and peppermint treat for feet!

Just blend approx 1/4 to 1/2 cup of honey, a sprig of fresh
rosemary and a few drops of peppermint oil and apply to
damp feet. Allow to absorb before applying slippers or
clean socks (or better yet, crawl into bed or elevate your
feet and legs while you finish that book or magazine
article).

If you have hard, dry feet, exfoliation is also key to
softening the soles. Pumice stones are good as are rich
granual exfoliants. One I like is Honey, raw sugar and
grapeseed oil.

Blend approx 1/4 cup honey with 1/4 cup raw or natural
sugar and 2 tablespoons of grapeseed oil. Apply to clean
feet and massage in generously, paying special attention
to the heels and callouses. Wrap them in a warm moist towel and elevate feet for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and apply moisturizer and clean cotton socks. In the morning, your feet will thank you!
