A sole saving foot
scrub
Between waiting in long shopping lines and scuttling through the
grocery store, your feet bear the brunt of the daily hustle. Here, a
simple foot scrub that will invigorate tired tootsies, compliments of
Wyndam Peaks Resort & Golden Door Spa in Telluride, Colorado. You'll
need Vaseline Petroleum Jelly, sea salts, and a little peppermint
essential oil.
1 Fill your bathtub or a large basin with warm water. Soak your
feet in the tub or basin for 15 minutes to help soften the skin.
2 Heat 1/4 cup of Vaseline in a double boiler or in a bowl over
boiling water. In another bowl, mix 1/4 cup of sea salt with three to
six drops of essential oil. Fold in the warmed Vaseline and mix.
3 Begin to massage your feet with the Vaseline mixture. Pay
extra attention to calluses. For added exfoliation, use a pumice stone
to help remove dead skin. When you're done, wipe your feet clean with
a washcloth and slip on a pair of cotton socks. This allows the
Vaseline residue to further moisturize your feet
