To restore sore feet, most people choose to do it foot spa (foot spa) at the salon. Why don't you try doing it yourself at home, which is certainly cheaper, easier, and no less effective?
Foot care tips with a foot spa at home
Instead of going to the salon, let's do your own foot care at home with foot spa through the following ways.
1. Prepare the tools
Foot care with foot spa does not require a lot of tools, really. You only need to prepare a chair, a large basin, warm water, Epsom salt or table salt, essential oils, moisturizer, and a towel.
Choose one of the most comfortable and quiet rooms, for example in the backyard or in your own room. Put some aromatherapy in every corner of the room to make it feel more comfortable.
After that, sit in the position you feel most comfortable with. Turn off your cellphone so you don't interfere with this foot care process.
2. Fill a basin with warm water
Now, put the warm water in the basin at least so that it covers your ankles. You can also add a few tablespoons of powdered milk so that the skin on your feet is softer and brighter.
Or, pour in a few cups of brewed herbal tea to detoxify feet. After that, soak your feet and feel the comfortable sensation.
3. Add gravel to the basin
Fine pebbles or river stones serve as a massage tool to relieve sore and sore leg muscles. The trick, step on the stone slowly and occasionally apply a little strong pressure as acupressure therapy.
4. Add salt and essential oil
Mix a few teaspoons of Epsom salt and essential oil in a basin. Choose whatever essential oil you prefer. But if you want maximum results, choose the scent of lavender, tea tree (tea tree), eucalyptus (eucalyptus), lemongrass, or chamomile.
5. Relax
While stepping on the rocks, lean back in the chair and close your eyes for a moment. Let your body relax for 15-20 minutes while inhaling the soothing aromatherapy fragrance.
After that, rub the soles of your feet with a scrub of coffee beans, sugar, or oats. Massage all over your feet and focus on the area of the leg that is sore.
Rinse with warm water until clean afterwards. Don't forget to apply moisturizer so that the skin on your feet is more supple and tighter.
