Use a pumice soap to reduce the thickness of the hard skin.
If your feet are very dry, cracked and rough, use caution when you simply use a pumice stone. It can be painful if you rub too hard!
HOW TO:  First soak your feet in warm therapeutic footbath.* This process will soften the hardened skin buildup for easy removal.
Begin by using a gentle back and forth motion, rub the pumice soap over rough heals or the balls of your feet. Do not rub hard, but rub lightly back and forth.
The pumice stone works essentially like sand paper and the soap as a lubricant, slowly removing layers of rough, dry skin.
Don’t try and do it all in one day; begin with just a few minutes.
TREATMENT HOW TO:
Treat your feet to a therapeutic footbath at least twice per week.
A rejuvenating and softening treat for weary feet is Buttermilk Fizzy Foot Soak
- Using the herbal footbath soak and very warm water,
- Fill a pan or container large enough to allow you to submerge your feet.
- Soak your feet for at least 5 full minutes.
- Wash your feet using a cloth and pumice soap.
- Once again, using the pumice soap bar, repeat the very gentle back and forth motion.
Because your feet have been softened by immersion in the footbath,
this will remove the dead layers of skin much faster, so be very careful.
- Don’t try to make your feet perfectly smooth the first time.
You may take off too much skin and cause more problems.
Follow the same procedure on the other foot.
- Dry your feet well.
If you are going to bed, cover your feet with a generous coating of Deep Tissue Hand and Foot Therapy Cream.
Then carefully put on a sock.
Follow the same procedure on the other foot and sleep overnight with the socks on.
If you are not going to bed, apply a thinner coat of Deep Tissue Hand and Foot Therapy Cream, and then put your shoes on as usual.
Repeat this entire procedure two or three times a week.
This therapeutic footbath process is key to helping feet become smooth, soft, and crack-free (not to mention more attractive).

Health Tip*
DO's
Proper daily water intake is very important in keeping skin hydrated.
A person should drink at least 6-8 glasses of water per day.
Water helps to flush out our body's impurities and excess salt that hinder healthy skin.
Colas, tea, coffee, and beer don’t count (sorry!). Practice healthy nutrition.
As difficult as it may be in today’s fast-paced world, good dietary habits are important.
Diet has a profound affect on the way our bodies’ function.
When we lack an important food group intake, our skin can suffer unhealthy effects.
Be sure to include plenty of vegetables, fruits and grains. |
and DONT's
Do not use detergent hand soap when washing your feet , if you want the softest skin, you should avoid using detergent hand soap anywhere on your body* it strips the natural oils from your skin (despite what marketing geniuses claim).
Avoid harsh chemicals and detergents in your skincare. They dissolve and carry the natural protective oils away from your skin, causing it to dry and crack.
Select shoes with a good shock absorbing sole.
Avoid open backed shoes or sandals. |
