Oh my pooor tired feet....I have been walking around alot and its killing my feet!! Ok, I'm kidding...haha...I havent been doing anything much since coming back from Perth. But I just needed a reason to soak my feet just for the sake of pampering myself. But with the whole recession thingy that is going around, I thought why not give myself a home-made "soak me feet" treatment. I found three "I HAVE TO TRY" recipes and I am certain you guys would enjoy.
Soaks are a fantabulous way to cleanse and soothe tired feet. Even if you think your feet arent tired, they probably are. So try it!!!
Pineapple Soak
Pineapple contains an enzyme which breaks down dead skin cells. This soak is especially effective when followed with a smoothing exfoliating treatment.
Potions Needed
- Warm Tap Water
- 2 Cups of Pineapple Juice
Instructions
- Pour juice into the basin
Fill the basin with warm water about halfway - Soak your feet for about 5 - 10 minutes
- Follow with a sugar rub (or any exfoliating scrubs) for best results
Minty Foot Soak
This is a refreshing foot soak, perfect as part of a full pedicure or all on its own.
Potions Needed
- Warm Water
- 3 Herbal Mint Tea Bags
Instructions
- Place teabags in basin
- Fill the basin halfway (ideally to your ankles) with warm water
- Soak your feet for about 5 - 10 minutes
Lavender Salt Soak
Epsom salts soothe aching, tired feet and reduce swelling. Epsom's salts can be found in most drugstores/pharmacies in Singapore.
Potions Needed
- 1/4 Cup of Epsom salts
- Warm Water
- 5 - 10 drops of lavender essential oil (or essential oil of your choice)
Instructions
- Pour salt into basin
- Fill the basin halfway with warm water
- Add essential oils (5 - 10 drops)
- Soak feet for about 5 - 10 minutes
I have tried them all but my personal favourite has got to be the Minty Foot Soak. Your feet feels so light and refreshed after the treatment. Go on! Have a feet soaking party and have fun!!
Till then...
