Homemade Pedicure

Sometimes you may not have the extra casy lying around to enjoy a pedicure at the salon. I found a really quick way to get salon quality results with at home items. :) Enjoy!

What you will need:
  • 1 cup milk
  • Sugar or salt (either will work)
  • Baby oil, sweet almond oil or coconut oil
  • Pumice stone
  • Stridex, found in the acne section of any drugstore
  • Thick moisturizer or a salicylic acid cream
  • Socks
1. Soak your feet for 15 min in a combination of 5 cups warm water and 1 cup warm milk.

2. Create your homemade sugar or salt scrub with baby oil, sweet almond oil or coconut oil. Massage this concoction into the bottom of your feet using circular motions.  Be generous with the scrub!!

3. Grab your pumice stone and get to work right on top of the sugar scrub.

4. Rinse your feet off really well and pat dry.

5. Before going to bed rub a Stridex pad over the rougher parts of your feet. They contain salicsylic acid and will help break down the rough skin. Don't worry!! It's safe.

6. Apply a moisturizer in a thick layer over your feet. Vaseline works really well here or your favorite heavy moisturizer.

7. Slip on some comfy socks for at least 4 hours.

You may have to do this process a few nights a week at first to get your feet looking really nice but once you get it.....you can maintain it by doing this regiment once a week!

Enjoy! Please share your results if you try this out.
