Tips for Foot Care

We usually give all attention to our skin problems but only for our face and hands and usually overlook the problems our feet are going through. Today we'll share some easy home made tips to make your feet soft & beautiful.

Exfoliation is very important for feet. It helps remove dead, dry skin cells and debris trapped under the skin, and helps remove calluses.

IMPORTANT: If during the exfoliation the skin feels too sensitive to the process or appears inflamed, stop exfoliation immediately.
