Exfoliation: the recipe for a homemade foot scrub
The step ofexfoliation is perhaps the most important when talking about pedicure. If you don’t have a specific product available, they come homemade solutions, easy to make with few ingredients. In a small bowl, just mix some coarse salt with coconut or olive oil (nutrients) and rub everything together for a few seconds slightly wet feet.
As an alternative to salt, the most delicate exfoliating solutions remain the same white sugar or coffee grounds.
Always on wet feet, proceed by delicately eliminating calluses, calluses and dryness with the help of special tools such as spatulas or rasps.
Pedicure at home, a restorative massage
To conclude the healing pedicure, a precious restorative massage useful for hydrating and relaxing. Before applying nail polish, start massaging your feet with the cream you usually use, focusing on the points where you feel the most swelling (ankles or sole of the foot).
