Foot care

The process of self-care is not limited to cosmetic procedures for the face and hair. Beautiful well-groomed legs are of great importance for your appearance.
If you compare the degree of fatigue of individual parts of your body, it turns out that it is the feet that bear the greatest load during the day, and they require care no less thorough than the care of the hands and face.
And all three, they should become a habit and turn into a regular daily procedure.
However, this is not all - at least once a week, your feet need a deep cleaning. For this, you will need a small bathtub with warm water and twenty minutes of free time. After the skin has softened, clean the feet with a hard brush or pumice stone and dry them with a towel. Before cleaning, you can apply a special scrub to the steamed skin, which helps to gently remove the dead epithelium not only on the feet, but also on the entire surface of the lower part of the legs.
As always, natural oils and other natural remedies, which have long and reliably become an integral part of organic cosmetics, come to the rescue.

Moisturization and nutrition
Whichever cleaning method you choose after steaming, the result should be the same - the skin is freed from rough layers and thoroughly lubricated with a nourishing cream, including the areas between the fingers.

One way or another, the use of tea tree, cypress, bergamot, lavender, and sandalwood oils proved to be very good for foot skin care.
- A bath (2 liters) with the addition of sea salt (50 g) and mint, chamomile, and lavender oils (3-4 drops each) will help relieve fatigue.

After the mixture has cooled, add avocado and jojoba oils (2 and 6 teaspoons, respectively), as well as 20 drops of orange ether and 7 drops of ylang-ylang. The ointment is preferably applied to the skin of the feet before going to bed, under cotton socks.
- As a scrub, it is useful to use crushed coffee beans, oatmeal, salt, granulated sugar. Abrasive particles not only effectively clean the skin, but also improve blood circulation, which is important for the health of the feet, especially in winter.
