Green Living Natural Remedies For Foot Care
Published on May 28 2010, in the categories: Living Green
We all know how important it is to keep our skin healthy and good looking. Aside from the cosmetic and apparel impact, a healthy skin will also prevent us from unwanted diseases, mycosis, aches, allergies and so on. And while most of us tend to offer a proper care only to the face skin and, somewhat in the same proportion to hands and body, any times feet are left aside either out of time, either out of preoccupation.
Still, feet are a very important part of our bodies that we need to treat carefully every time we bath or shower, or every day before bed time. Aside from a proper hygiene, our feet can become very picky especially in the hot season. We have to take care of our pedicure, blisters, bumps and so on, so that they will look extraordinary in those high stilletto heels. And speaking of heels, mainly they are the reason why our feet suffer and due to improper shoes we can risk making blisters, our skin to get dry excessively and other problems.

Under these circumstances what can one girl do to assure she will have good looking feet no matter the hour or no matter what she is wearing? There are some simple rules that need to be taken into consideration, just like when you are cleaning or taking care of your skin complexion. First of all, you have to wax/ shave. We all know the importance of smooth legs without unwanted hairs and if you have a sensitive skin, always use moisturizers to prevent leg skin to get all red and irritated. After, always make sure you give your feet a proper treatment, just like on any other surface of the body; you first have to use a peeling gel to get away from all dead cells and have a glowing looking skin, and after you have to apply a foot cream, body butter or any other sooting and hydrating gel.

If you are looking for some natural remedies to keep your feet looking great, here are some tips you might find helpful: after a long day at work, at the end of the day, apply a moisturizing cream and flex the feet from the ankle, pressing the toes and moving them up down - this will relax your feet and improve blood circulation. For cracked heels and skin, you can use rose water mixed with glycerin which is later applied to feet. To remove dead skin surfaces from time to time, never leave the pumice stone.
Also, if you want a natural home-made exfoliant, you can use crushed strawberries with a teaspoon of olive oil and sea salt to remove dead skin. Rub the mixture a trifle hard on the heels, let it stay for 10 to 15 minutes and clean with warm water, then apply a foot cream.
