Foot Scrub

There is no better feeling than taking an entire day to really be pampered and spoiled at a professional and high quality spa. Getting massages, manicures, pedicures, facials, and special treatments is a fantasy for both men and women who need some help to feel great every once and while. While receiving spa treatments are an alluring activity, unfortunately, the majority of people do not have the extra time or money to spend on expensive, professional spa treatments and services.

The encouraging thing to remember is that some of those exotic face and body treatments can actually be performed by the average person. As long as you have the right ingredients and instructions, you can create treatments similar to those used at salons and spas. One common procedure that numerous folks crave, yet cannot always afford, is the foot treatment. If you have the motivation to create the easy concoction and maybe a helpful loved one who would be willing to apply it on your feet, you just might get the same or even better results than a professional spa procedure.

Although there is definitely something to be said about taking a full day excursion to get dotted on and indulged, it is also a great feeling to know that you created a solution on your own that produced similar results. If you choose to create your own foot scrub, you have the added benefit of knowing exactly what materials were used to make it. There will be no questions of harsh chemicals being added or irritating ingredients that you may have allergic or negative reactions to. When producing your own foot rub, you can use elements that you enjoy and can make something that is natural, nourishing, and beneficial to your tired feet!

When making your own foot scrub you can use a variety of items to get the end results. First, decide what type of foot scrub you want to make and then collect the ingredients. Types of foot scrubs include salt based, sugar based, food based and aromatherapy scrubs. Depending on which type of scrub you decide upon, you will then create a list of the ingredients that are needed to make it. For example, for a simple salt scrub, you will need sea salt and olive oil. For sugar scrub, you will need sugar and your favorite scented lotion. For aromatherapy scrubs, you can use a variety of ingredients depending on the scents you prefer. There are a vast array of essential oils available in bath and body stores and you can choose which you like best. Some of our favorites include lavender, peppermint, pomegranate, and citrus. When the oils are mixed with water and either sugar or salt, you will most likely end up with an exfoliating foot scrub that will closely compare to those used in professional salons.  

Always remember to consult with a professional beautician or esthetician to ensure that you are using the best ingredients in your homemade scrub. It is important to make sure you do not have any allergies to your solution so we recommend testing a small portion of the mixture on a section of your body before using the entire scrub. Everyone reacts differently to these scrubs, so be sure to do your research to select the right scrub for you and your body.
