At home foot pampering tips
One day when you are free keep some time for foot pampering. For this you may need one large bowl. In the bowl fill with warm water. Add lemon slices. Add rose petals or few drops of rose oil. If you have forming gel add that also. Now dip your feet and splash the water to form bubbles. Keep both legs on this water for another 10 min. Now take out one foot and put on the knee of the other leg. Now you can use scrub. For that mix 4tsp.of green gram flour, 2tsp.of sugar powder, almond oil and sandalwood powder. Use this as a scrub. Scrub all over the foot with light or medium pressure. If you have cracked heel then use pumics/puming stone to rub. Then after finishing this, keep this foot on water and clean it. Then do the same for the other foot. Now the water in the bowl is cool. Take out both the feet and towel dry. If you want you can cut your nails and give shape to them. Now you can apply any moisturizer or cold cream on both feet. I prefer some natural moisturizer. Use crushed avocado fruit pulp. Apply all over the feet and wait for 10 min. Then wash it off, towel dry. Now you can go for nail polish.

How about doing this at home foot pampering once or twice in a month.
