Want To Have Perfect Feet ? Here Are The Steps

Sometimes it's difficult to keep up with everything in your personal life or job and we tend to forget to take care of our skin, nails or feet. As a busy college student I barely have time. but I try to at least take care of my feet once a week although I admit sometimes I forget. But I found the easiest way to always have your feet nice, moisturize and not DRY it's one of my biggest pet peeve to have dry cracked soles. I mean who wants that,  no one especially us girls. Here are some of the products I use and some you can find in your kitchen and also very affordable.

Here are the Steps

1. Exfoliate your feet once a week, What i do is mix 1 to 2 tablespoon of brown sugar with 1lemon. I squeeze the juice of 1 lemon and mix it with the brown sugar. I exfoliate for 2 to 3 minutes on each foot.

2. After I exfoliate I moisturize my cuticles, I use olive oil and rub it all around my cuticles and toe nails I leave it for 5 minutes and I wash it after.

3. After I have exfoliated and moisturized my cuticles I apply Almond oil. Almond oil is very good for you skin because it moisturize your skin on top of that is natural. 

4. After I have moisturize my foot I put on a pair of cotton socks and sleep with it over night.

I do this once a week before going to bed, of course everyday when I take a bath I apply Almond oil I use it as my foot and body moisturizer.  Trust me you will have the softest, and nicest feet and soles. It is also very relaxing to do. You can find the olive oil at your local grocery store and the almond oil in a natural store, or Amazon, I buy mine at Whole Foods Supermarket.

Have Fun

winter face care


First Aid Beauty face moisturizer / First Aid Beauty oatmeal face mask / Clarins / Cetaphil / Nivea lip treatment, $4.70

Cold weather can be extremely damage for our skin, It can get really dry and no one wants that. I have decided to write a blog post on different steps you that  should take for your winter skincare routine. it's is important to  switch up your skincare routine every season. Products that will keep your face from getting dry patch areas and just very dehydrating. Here are some steps to keep your face hydrated, and free of flaky or cracking skin during the winter time. Cetaphil face wash it's just one of the best facial cleaner I have ever used. It's great for all year round and it's good for dry skin. A face toner that will make your face smooth and natural. A good hydrating moisturizer that I recommend is the brand First Aid Beauty it's not oily or sticky and it's great for when your face is itchy, flaky and very dry and overall for everyday. A lip balm that  is very hydrating and have a high percentage of Petroleum or cocoa butter. I use the Nivea it's very good and affordable.  The last product I included is A face scrub, It is important to use a face scrub during the winter as I said before for the flaky skin and it will also smooth your face. It's good to use it at night before going to bed and applying your face moisturizer. It removes all your dead skin cells. It is very important for everyone to take care of their skin especially us girls, we always want to look our best and trust me I have been their with my skin all red burning and dry and it's not comfortable or pretty. That's why is important to take care of our skin early instead of lamenting over it.
