Secret for Smooth and Clear Feet

My Dearest Beauties,
As the warmer weather approaches we need to get ready to rock our beautiful pairs of sandals. We all want clear, silky smooth looking feet. Well, I have what you need to sport the most gorgeous feet out there.
All you will need is a couple of lemons, petroleum jelly, some heel filers, a big bowl and your preferred cuticle removing instruments.
Lemon is known for its many benefits on the skin. It gently removes dead skin, it lightens age spots and discolorations on the skin, it smoothes skin and it makes your skin look fresher and younger. Last but not least, it has a very uplifting natural scent without forgetting that the acid that it contains will gently exfoliate.

So, what you’ll need to do is squeeze one lemon and a half. Pour the lemon juice in your preferred soaking bowl (mind that both of your feet must fit), add enough water for your toes and heels to be covered. Soak for five to ten minutes. Use the other half of the lemon to rub on your toes and heels. File the heels of your feet gently, go in with the rougher side first and then with the finer side next in order to get a polished feel and look to the heels. Then go ahead and apply petroleum jelly on your toes concentrating on those cuticles you aim to remove. You can choose to cut them off with a cuticle cutter or to just push them in with a cuticle pusher.
And Tadaaaa!! You are good to go wash the lemon and petroleum jelly off your feet. Do this, once per week for a month or two and you will definitely see and feel the difference.

You can even go as far as rubbing the lemon juice on your feet, following in with the petroleum jelly, put some socks on and sleep on it. Wash off the next morning do some filing and your feet will just shine.
This is how my grandma takes care of her feet and it has passed down onto my generation.  

When life gives you lemons, use them on your skin. So go ahead and rock those sandals girl!

Bisous,
Samar
