Introduction
Our feet are some of the neglected parts of our bodies. We pamper our faces, skin, and hair without looking at our feet until it’s time to put on those sandals or that moment when we feel the pain of calluses and corns. Considering that we walk all day and move around, they are the parts of the body that take the most beating. Should we not all go for a hot spa foot treatment and revive those tired-looking and weary feet? Take a look at some great advice for spa foot pampering.
Step 1
Dedicate time for your feet
It does not need a lot of investment on your part to indulge in a spa foot treatment. Take a large basin and pour warm water in it adding Epsom or bath salts and other aromatherapy scents. Setting aside a few minutes to half an hour a day to soak your feet can do wonders easing those aches and pain from walking or being up on your feet all day long.
Step 2
Buy a hot spa foot massager
If you have extra funds, invest in a quality hot spa foot massager. The main advantage of buying one is that it heats cold water and keeps the water warm, saving you the time of getting up, throwing old water and putting in fresh one instead of relaxing and unwinding. These machines have also the vibrating massage function which is convenient. Often, there are special attachments that go with the device for various spa foot treatments. The pumice will remove dry, rough, and callused skin on the feet, toes, and soles while the exfoliating brush will stimulate the feet and encourage better blood circulation. Roller massagers will do the trick of massaging the feet and energizing them. Another convenient feature is that there are automatic salt dispensers included in the machine saving you time. You can also regulate the temperature of the water inside the foot bath as you wish.
Step 3
Concoct your own foot packs and study the effects of scents and oils
Preparing your own oils and spa foot treatment not only gives you the flexibility of choosing the relaxing scents that you love. It is also great on the budget. Take time to know the effects of scents on the senses and the body. Salts provide the exfoliating effect, sloughing off dead skin cells. Eucalyptus and lavender give a soothing and healing effect while olive oil is a great moisturizer.
Step 4
Do a home pedicure
Another great way to complement a hot spa foot treatment is to do a home pedicure right after soaking your feet. Rinse and dry your feet thoroughly with a clean towel. Trim nails as needed, apply base coating, or a nail polish as you desire, and you’re all set to finish that spa foot treatment that your feet so rightly deserve.
Step 5
Visit a spa center once in a while
Of course for great feet pampering, there’s nothing like an experience with a spa foot specialist. You might want to include foot therapy the next time you are in a wellness or spa resort or simply do all the foot works at your nearest beauty saloon.
