Easy homemade foot #spa #TNN Follow these tested steps and get an excellent foot-spa treatment. Remove any nail polish and clean your feet. google Fill your bathtub or a small basin with hot water (water should be warm enough to place your feet comfortably in it). Add a few drops of essential oil (your choice), body wash, your favourite bath salts, baking soda or anything else you like. Common ingredients include rosemary, lavender, lemon slices and honey. There are no hard or fast rules, so feel free to customise the ingredients to your tastes and needs. Place your feet in the water and soak for 10 to 15 minutes, (take this time to relax). Remove your feet from the soak and slough off any dead skin using a pumice stone, a sea-salt scrub or your favourite exfoliant. You can also scrub your feet with a homemade foot scrub.

Make sure the basin you use is clean and has not been used for anything that may irritate your skin. The water level should be sufficient to cover your feet and ankles. Don’t scrub too hard with a foot scrub or you can cause irritation. For an easy salt scrub, mix one tablespoon sea salt and one tablespoon olive oil.
