Shea Butter Foot Spa Treatment

By: Kim Mujahid

A luxurious Shea Butter Foot Spa treatment is an excellent way to relax, with an effective home spa treatment that makes feet look and feel incredibly soft and smooth.  Our feet really take a daily pounding and can be overlooked when we focus on caring for and moisturizing our skin.  Feet are often one of the driest areas of our body.  Soaking, exfoliating, and moisturizing feet keep them feeling smooth, soft and comfortable, with general relaxation benefits for the entire body.  Exfoliation is key for removal of dry skin, and pure shea butter is an superb moisturizer, that softens and conditions dry feet, and works exceptionally well for softening and smoothing rough dry heels.       

Your feet will look and feel softer and smoother than ever with a Shea Butter Foot Spa treatment.  This treatment includes soaking feet in pure sea salts, Dead Sea salts, and or epsom salts, to soften dry callused skin, followed by scrubbing with an exfoliating pure sugar scrub moisturizing with a rich shea butter cream.  This treatment not only softens rough, dry skin, but it also relaxes sore, aching feet and is a wonderful pampering treatment, that leaves you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.

Soaking feet in a relaxing foot bath with bath salts that contain epsom salt hydrates and softens skin.  A foaming sugar scrub is a great choice for exfoliating and removing dry skin and exposing newer, younger skin cells, which allows moisturizing products to be absorbed more effectively.   

  For your Shea Butter Foot Treatment, you will need:

- Bath Salts (My favorite sea mineral bath salts are a fragrant blend of sea salts, epsom salts and pure essential oils for a relaxing foot spa experience.)

- Olive Oil Body Scrub, an all natural foaming sugar scrub, scented with pure citrus and fresh herbal essential oils.

- Shea Butter Moisturizer.

Directions:

Add 2 tablespoons of Bath Salts to a tub or foot bath with warm water.  Soak feet for 5 to 10 minutes.  Apply sugar scrub and work into lather, scrubbing feet, paying special attention to extra dry and rough heels.  Rinse feet.  Pat dry and immediately massage feet with shea butter to seal in moisture and soften skin.   

For a complete spa foot treatment, trim toenails and apply nail polish (if desired).  Now, your feet feel as great as they look!

Note: Sugar scrubs contain natural alpha hydroxy acids from the sugar which dissolves dry skin while you massage the scrub onto your feet.  Natural foaming sugar scrubs contain cleansers that deep clean your feet while exfoliating, and do the best job of softening extra dry feet and removing dry skin.
