Most of us spend a lot of time and money at beauty parlours to achieve soft and beautiful feet. But is it possible to do a pedicure at home? Yes! Dry skin, dirt, and cracks on the feet can ruin their beauty and even disturb your sleep. Let me share a simple procedure you can follow at home. All you need is a few minutes of your time. Right from your kitchen, you can find many simple and inexpensive items, that can be used for a foot massage to improve blood circulation and help restore the feet’s lost beauty.
How to do a pedicure at home?
1. Take lukewarm water in a vessel and add a little shampoo to it. Then immerse your feet in that solution for 10 minutes. Then clean them thoroughly using a pumice stone or a foot brush. Now you can apply a little groundnut oil to your feet and gently massage it for a while.
2. Now, remove nail polish and clean your nails. A pedicure set is available in shops that can be used to remove dirt from nails and hard skin from either side. If a vitamin E capsule is available at home, break it into small pieces. Then mix it with a little butter and massage again. It adds extra shine to your feet. It can also remove dryness and hardness from your skin.
3. Next step is to massage feet using a foot scrub. Mix a little rava with milk skin (layer on top of boiled milk) and lemon juice to get a homely herbal scrubber. Massage it for five minutes and now remove the skin’s moisture with a cotton cloth. Now mix a little camphor with groundnut oil and gently massage your feet again.
4. Now you can apply the fruit pack. First, mix gram flour with honey and curd. Then use any one of these three – carrot, papaya or cucumber to get a natural herbal pack. Wash it off after 20 minutes. One important thing is clean this pack when it is half dry. Otherwise, wrinkles may appear on your skin.
How often can you do a home pedicure?
You can do this treatment two times a month. Along with it, you can provide daily care for your feet. Yellow yolk, almond oil, rose water and honey – mix them all and apply to your feet every day before bath. Honey-glycerin-lemon juice mixture is also nice.
Drink at least 10 glasses of water every day during the hot summer. It prevents cracks and dryness of your feet. It also helps prevent discolouration and paleness of the skin.
