If you’ve been neglecting your tired hands and feet, here is a 4 step routine to give
them the love they need!
An exfoliating scrub will clean away all the dirt and dead skin on your skin!
Take 1 spoon of grated ginger and add in 1 tbsp of sugar, 2 tbsp of coconut oil,
and 1 tsp of lemon juice and mix it together.
Start gently scrubbing this onto your hands for 3 minutes and then wipe it off using a
wet cloth.
ginger contains antioxidants that help rejuvenate your tired skin,
the sugar will exfoliate, while lemon disinfects your skin and brightens it and coconut oil nourishes and
repairs it.
Take 5 tablespoons of baby oil and mix 3 tablespoons of sea salt in it.
Use this to scrub away all the dead skin and dirt from your feet for at least five minutes
focusing on your heels.
Salt will exfoliate the dead skin and dirt that’s sitting on your feet
and baby oil will take care of repairing the flaky skin and dry patches.
Covering up your tired feet and hands in a luxurious mask or soak is exactly what they
need to feel rejuvenated.
Mix 2 tbsp of cinnamon with 1 tbsp olive oil and a couple of drops of lemon essential oil.
Mask your hands with it for 10-15 minutes.
Cinnamon works as an antifungal to get rid of the clogged gunk in your nails, the olive
oil nourishes and hydrates the skin and the lemon oil makes your hand smell amazing!
Fill a tub with hot water and add a cup of milk and a few tbsps of rose water and soak
your feet in to for 12-20 minutes while relaxing in the luxurious soak.
Milk contains lactic acid which restores and hydrates our feet and rose water soothes any
irritated skin.
The peeling skin around our nails is painful and unattractive!
So here’s a cuticle oil to help.
Mix 2 tbsp of jojoba oil with a few drops of lavender essential oil.
Massage it onto your cuticles and allow your skin to absorb it.
Jojoba oil has anti-inflammatory properties that heal all the cuts and chaffing from our
cuticles, and lavender essential oil soothes them.
Seal in all the effort you’ve made on your skin with an amazing creamy moisturiser.
Mix 1 tsp of shea butter, 1 tsp of almond oil 1 tsp of beeswax and melt it together.
Add in a couple drops of lavender essential oil as well.
Refrigerate this mixture and Apply this before sleeping for ultra smooth skin!
A mixture of shea butter and beeswax will not only hydrate your skin but also make sure
the moisture is locked in, the almond oil will prevent wrinkles and the lavender oil
will soothe your skin.
Mix your base of 1 tsp of shea butter and 1 tsp of beeswax with 1 tsp of coconut oil
and melt them together again.
Now mix in a few drops of peppermint essential oil.
Apply a thick layer of it and massage your feet to absorb the cream.
The beeswax and shea butter will prevent cracked heels and skin while coconut oil will help get rid of flakiness.
The peppermint essential oil is cooling, antifungal and will make your feet smell like candy!
Now no more hiding your feet in closed shoes or peeling dry skin around your fingernails!
Until next time, stay tuned and stay GLAMRS.
