Our feet take us wherever we need to go. Especially if you are blessed to have them.
To keep your feet 🦶 healthy you need to maintain them! Just like brushing your teeth or washing your hair. They need some care!
Here’s a list of what I like to do:
Once a week I do a refresh. It takes a few minutes or up to 30 minutes if you do the DIY foot bath. It all depends how much time you have.
🦶Foot Cream
🦶Nail file and orange wood stick
🦶Cuticle remover
🦶Cuticle oil
🦶Pedi socks for women I use when doing my toe nails or after a pedicure & going home.
🦶White cotton socks 🧦 for men
🦶Clear Nail Polish with garlic or without
🦶Basin to soak your feet
🦶Towel
1. Weekly, check your toe nails. Trim or file away any rough or uneven tie nails and smooth out your nail bed.
2. Use cuticle remover if needed
3. Apply Cuticle Oil like “Working Girl”. It’s a multitasker.
4. Rinse & wash your feet well. I like to use a nail brush or buffer. Gently dry your feet but leaving them a bit damp.
5 Next apply a good quality foot cream
6. Put on white cotton socks.
Now if you’re in the mood to and really want to relax… You’ve gotta try my “Milk Bath” for your feet. Ever since I fell in love with Hawaii, I have enjoyed using anything coconut 🥥 🌴 It is so hydrating and skin and hair softening. You can even shave with it. Or run some through your hair.
Draw a warm bath in a basin for a DIY foot soak.
Add 1 and 1/2 cups of canned coconut milk. My secret weapon! Not only can you cook with if you can use it on your body and hair.
I prefer the lite coconut milk for this beauty recipe . But if you’d like to use the original canned coconut oil do so. One us just richer than the other.IF by chance you are allergic to any of the above ingredients. Skip it.
Optional* Place a star anise, a couple of cloves and or sprinkle cinnamon to the water.
It will smell like aromatic Chai tea or using “coconut milk alone will remind you of a tropical drink or dessert.
Soak your feet at least 15 minutes. your feet will look better, feel softer, relaxed and YOUR spirits renewed.
If you’re not happy with or having issues with your feet see a podiatrist. I am so happy with my Jacksonville Fl doctor Dr Namen.
Also getting a pedicure monthly or now and then is ALWAYS a good idea! Guys if you haven’t had one… nows the time. You don’t know what you’re missing.
Take care of your 👣 they will take you wherever you want to go and your feet will be sandal ready!
