Hindi kailangan gumastos ng daan-daan o libu-libo para sa foot scrub. There are so many different brands that you can find in the market now, all claiming that they are the best in getting your feet smooth, soft and callous free. Iba-ibang scents and ingredients pa makikita mo.
Una sa lahat, bakit ba kailangan mag scrub ng feet? Hindi lang ito kaartehan, believe me. There are actual health benefits to this seemingly kikay habit. If you’re part of the 90% of the population who walk around for most of the day, and if you happen to be on high heels for most of that day, chances are you’re feet get dry, tough and cracked. If this happens and left untreated, it can cause irritation and even infection on your feet. Unless kailangan mo ng kalyo dahil nakayapak ka sa araw-araw na ginawa ni Lord, you need to take better care of your feet.
What do you need in a good scrub anyway? You basically need a grainy paste that can easily be rubbed and lathered over your skin. You most probably have all the basic ingredients in your kitchen right now. So here’s my recipe for my sugar foot and body scrub:
Ingredients:
1 cup brown sugar
¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
Ginger – about 1 inch long bulb
Directions:
Wash and peel off the skin from the ginger. Best way to peel it is to use a spoon.
Grate the ginger.
Mix up the brown sugar, ginger and the EVOO in a small container.
Done and done.
That’s it! You can start scrubbing away on your feet using your homemade scrub! If you’re wondering why I used ginger, well, besides being an absolute ginger fan, ginger has a lot of anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds called gingerols which promotes even skin tone and smoothness. If you don’t like the fresh gingery smell, you can add some vanilla extract to your compound or your favorite essential oils. Some people use honey instead of EVOO, which I hear is good too… but I reserve my honey for other food stuff. I like it too much to put on my feet. Hehehe…
See? You don’t have to break the bank, and you can do it in the comfort of your home whenever you want.
