The skin on the feet, especially the heels, is often dry, hard and prone to keratosis. This usually happens when we walk a lot or when we have ill-fitting shoes. If you want to deal with this problem, then try these home remedies.
A simple and effective care treatment, i.e. a foot bath
The home treatment of soaking feet in baking soda has been known for a very long time. Soaking your feet in baking soda is a popular way to get rid of dry, chapped heels. Baking soda has a softening effect on the skin – soaking your feet in soda will help remove calloused epidermis.
The recipe for such a procedure is extremely simple and the procedure is pleasant. All you have to do is prepare warm water in a bowl and add 2 heaping teaspoons of baking soda to it. Such a bath should last 5-10 minutes. After drying the feet, it is best to use a moisturizing or urea cream to further soften and make the epidermis more elastic. To combine business with pleasure, to the water you can also add a few drops of tea or lavender oil, which will allow us to relax. Soaking your feet once a week should bring results. You can repeat the treatment more often when you need to relax and relieve your feet after a busy day.
Another use of baking soda, i.e. natural peeling
We can make a soda scrub, which we rub into the feet and leave for a moment to soften. Two tablespoons of baking soda should be mixed with one tablespoon of water to obtain the consistency of a thick paste. Rub the resulting mush into your feet, leave it for a few minutes and wash it off. The epidermis softened in this way should be gently wiped off with a pumice stone or grater. Then dry your feet and apply a moisturizing cream.
Interesting use of salt in foot care. Another use of a product from the kitchen
Soaking your feet in salt is very simple, and on noticeable effects of such treatment do not have to wait long. Pour about 1 liter of warm or cool water into a large bowl. The temperature should be pleasant – be careful not to burn yourself. Add 5-6 teaspoons of sea, Himalayan, Dead Sea or Epsom salt to a bowl. The latter has additional beneficial properties for the body. Stir the water to dissolve the salt. This procedure should take 15-20 minutes. If you want, you can add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to such a bath.
