How to make a Foot Spa?

Your feet are precious; they carry

you many a mile and help you to
maintain your posture. It is no
surprise that they may feel tired,
calloused, or swollen by the end of
the day. Give your feet the attention
they really deserve by pampering
them with a foot spa. Once you know
the basic procedure, you can
experiment with special soaks and
scrubs to suit the needs of your feet.
1.Create a relaxing environment.
Decide where you
want to have your foot
spa, then dim the
lights. Put on some
music that you find
relaxing. Light some
candles, if desired,
and make sure that all
of your supplies are
close by and ready to
use. This includes your
towels, scrubs, lotions,
and socks or slippers.
2. Fill a plastic tub with warm
water.
Any plastic container
that is big enough to
fit both of your feet
will do just fine. For a
more luxurious
experience, make sure
that the tub is tall
enough to reach
halfway up your
calves. You can also
use one of those tubs
made specifically for

really creative. It can be as
simple as adding a handful of
Epsom salt or sea salt, or as
fancy as creating a milk bath.
Listed below are some ideas to
get you started:
•Squirt some bubble bath solution if you like
bubbles and wish to soften your feet.
•Add 10 drops of essential oil for fragrance
and aromatherapy. Peppermint, lavender, or
lemongrass are all great options.
•If you want a nicer, visual appearance, add a
bit of mint or a handful of rose petals.
•To soften your feet, use 1 cup (125 grams) of
powdered milk (dairy or soy) and 1
4. Soak your feet in the water for
10 to 15 minutes.
• Pull the tub over in front of a
comfortable chair. Sit down in the chair,
then slip your feet into the tub. Read a
book or close your eyes and listen to
some music. You can even combine the
foot spa with another treatment, such as
a face mask or eye mask. Dirty water is not
very relaxing, so make sure that your feet are clean. If
they are dirty, rinse them off first in the shower, bathtub,
or sink.
 5. Exfoliate your feet with a
scrub or manicure brush after
•soaking.
Once the 10 to 15 minutes are up, it is time for
some exfoliation! Use a manicure brush or a small
body brush for a simple treatment. For a fancier
treatment, use a homemade or store-bought foot
scrub instead. Focus the exfoliation on your heels,
where the skin is the most calloused.
•If you used the foot scrub, be sure to rinse it off using your foot soak
water.
•For exceptionally calloused heels, consider using a pumice stone.
•Keep your feet over the tub so that you can splash water on them
whenever it is necessary.
6. Follow up with a foot massage
.•If you added marbles to
the tub, you can simply
roll your feet back-and-
forth across them. You
can also use a store-
bought massager, or
give yourself a
traditional foot massage
using your hands.Don't
stress about doing the massage
correctly as a professional
would. Do what feels the best to
7. Pat your feet dry, then
apply moisturizer.
•Pat your feet dry with a
soft, clean towel first. Next,
massage some body lotion
to your feet. If you don’t
have any lotion, you can use
body butter, body oil, or
even jojoba oil instead. Seal
the moisturizer in by putting
on a pair of cotton socks. It
would be best to leave these
socks on overnight. Skip the
socks if you will be giving yourself a
8. Give yourself a pedicure,if
desired.
•Clean under your toenails with a manicure brush,
then trim them with nail clippers. Dry your feet
with a clean towel, then wipe your toenails with
nail polish remover to get rid of any oils. Apply a
base coat, follow up with your desired nail polish
color, then seal it with a clear topcoat. Let
everything dry before moving on.
•If you need to push back your cuticles, do so with a cuticle pusher
or orange stick before you apply the nail polish.
•It's recommended that you wait at least 45 minutes before wearing
any closed-toe shoes after polish application.
