How to Care Your Feet & Hands With Homemade Scrubs

When it comes to beauty, the world doesn’t just stop at your face and hair, your hands and feet need a generous dose of TLC too. So here we are, sharing some skin care tips that will make your hands and feet look just as good as your face. Read on for homemade scrubs that remove dead skin cells and leave you with beautiful and soft skin all over.

A refreshing peppermint foot lotion and scrub

All you have to do is follow these simple skin care tips:
- Step 1 – Collect the following ingredients: 4 spoons of brown sugar, 2 spoons of lemon sea salt, a small shea butter, 2 table spoons of olive oil, a couple of drops of peppermint essential oil and 2 small mason jars.
- Step 2 – Add the lemon sea salt and brown sugar in a glass jar, add a few drops of peppermint oil. That’s for your foot scrub. It should be slightly wet and have a grainy consistency. Make sure there are no lumps and you use dry hands. This is an important skin care tip.
- Step 3 – Soak your feet in warm water for 10 minutes.
- Step 4 – Take a generous portion of the scrub in your palm and rub it gently over your foot, concentrating on your sole.
- Step 5 – Continue the exfoliating process for about 5 minutes per foot.
- Step 6 – Wash your feet with lukewarm water.
- Step 7 – Now let’s get on to make the foot lotion. Melt shea butter over low heat until it gets liquefied. Stir it and allow the mixture to cool down. After which, whip it into a smooth cloudy mixture and spoon it into the second glass jar.
- Step 8 – With dry hands, scoop out a bit of the homemade foot lotion and massage it all over your foot, till everything gets absorbed. That’s it, you’re done! Your feet won’t just feel relaxed, they’ll also smell divine. Plus, you can store these 2 foot care portions for a few weeks.
