We take our feet for granted, so isn’t it time that we treat them with the respect that they deserve. Homemade foot scrubs can be made with a brood of ingredients depending on what you’re looking to cure. Treat your feet to this sweet and luscious brown sugar foot scrub and help sooth those cracked heels, calloused toes and dry skin. Brown sugar also helps to slough off dead skin cells for faster skin regeneration and self repair. Apply this salt scrub to pre-soaked damp feet for the best results.
