We all wish to have
feet just as soft and smooth as a baby. These days it is believed that
going to parlours for regular pedicure will make our feet beautiful.
But, the truth is that pedicure can help to only some extent. The best
foot care can be done only when you follow a foot care regime
dedicatedly.
So, we bring you a few simple home care tips to get naturally pretty feet.#1. For treating cracked heels
The most common problem affecting feet is cracked heels.The best way to heal them though, is to look into your kitchen.
Renowned
aesthetician and Cosmetologist and Founder-Director of Alps Beauty
Clinics, Ms Bharti Taneja suggests, “To say goodbye to cracked heels
just create a mixture by heating the candle wax with equal amount of
mustard oil so that it emerges as a thick concoction. Fill your cracks
with it to wave off your worries. You can also prepare a mixture by
adding one teaspoon each of shampoo and table salt along with a few
drops of antiseptic liquid in a two litres of warm water. Now, soak your
feet in it for 10 minutes; scrub off the dead skin using pumice stone
and rinse off with warm water. After your feet get dry, massage it using
a moisturising cream and sleep with cotton socks on overnight to get
ramp-ready feet the very next morning.”
#2. For fair and bright feet
We all usually apply various face packs to have fair and bright skin.
Similarly, with simple homemade packs, we can have beautiful, fair and
bright feet as well. Bharti Taneja says, “For making your feet fair and
bright, prepare a mixture containing equal amounts of glycerin, rose
water and lemon juice. Now, apply this after thoroughly washing your
feet and rinse-off to reveal fairer and brighter looking paws.”
#3. For daily care
To have naturally beautiful feet, you require regular care. Wash your
feet daily; if feasible, then twice a day– at the beginning and end of
the day. You can add aloe vera gel to your daily foot care regime. It
can do wonders for your feet. Rub your feet with this gel to make them
ultra-soft.
#4. For relaxing your feet
Just
like our body, our feet too require relaxation. Take a brisk walk on
the green grass of any nearby park. This is sure to improve the quality
of your vision as well as provide a refreshing dose of nature to your
feet.Another tip suggested by Bharti Taneja
is, “You should also avoid hanging your legs for longer duration as it
may result into restrictive blood circulation. You may also try relaxing
your leg muscles by placing them onto a pillow while sleeping, in order
to eventually, pamper your feet.”
#5. For removing dead skin cells
The easiest way to remove the dead skin cells from your feet is with the
help of honey and lemon juice. Make a mixture of honey, milk and lemon
juice and dip your feet in it for 10 minutes daily. This will surely
remove the dead skin from your feet making them smooth and soft.
#6. For getting rid of suntan
Another common problem occurring with feet is tanning. The best way to
remove it, is by applying either suntan lotion, cucumber or potato juice
on your feet. Another tip shared by Gulshan Arora, who works with one
of the leading beauty parlours, is, “Suntan can be removed quickly. Make
the powder from dry orange peels and add some milk to make the paste;
add some rose water to it and apply the pack for 20 mins. Apply this
pack thrice a week for quicker results.”
#7. For nourishing dry feet
Coconut oil is known to have many healing properties. For those who have
dry skin, coconut oil is the choicest blessing of all. Apply the
coconut oil at night or after daily bath; this will cure the dryness and
will make your feet soft. Coconut oil has medicinal properties, hence
making it beneficial for your body. The lauric acid present in the
coconut oil helps in removing the infections and making feet more
cleaner and softer. You can also replace cocont oil with olive oil.
