Homemade foot scrubs can be a real treat for tired feet. Sometimes a good foot scrub is just what your feet need before you put some foot lotion on them. The scrub helps remove all the dead dry skin; so that your foot lotion can moisturize more effectively.

Here are three recipes for homemade foot scrubs:

1) Honey Almond Foot Scrub

1/2 small jar of cold cream
1 pound of honey

4 ounces of almonds

Chop the almonds in a blender or "food chopper/processor" until they are a fine powder.
Add cold cream and honey and mix.
Place the finished product in a jar and refrigerate.

This recipe makes enough to last for a while, so you don't have to make more every time you want some. Also, with this recipe if you let the scrub remain on your feet for a few extra minutes after "scrubbing", the cold cream and honey will act as a natural moisturizer and you won't have to use lotion afterwards.

2) Lemon and Honey Scrub

Juice from 1 medium lemon
2 tablespoons finely ground almonds
1 tablespoon honey

Combine all ingredients.
Massage onto feet.
Leave on for 5 minutes.
Rinse off with warm water.

This recipe just makes enough for one application. The acid in the lemon helps remove more dead skin and helps kill any nasty bacteria and fungus that may be lurking.

3) Cornmeal Scrub

2 tablespoons of cornmeal
1 teaspoon of lemon juice
2 tablespoons of plain yogurt

Mix all ingredients together into a paste and let it sit in the bowl for 5 minutes.
Massage onto feet and let it stay on for 5 minutes.
Rinse off with warm water.

This recipe makes a single application and you don't need to grind any almonds to a powder; so, it is simpler and quicker to prepare. The lemon juice and "good bacteria" in the yogurt are very good for your skin and help get rid of any "bad bacteria" or nasty fungus you may have encountered.

So go ahead and pamper your feet with one of these homemade foot scrubs.
