Olive Oil Foot Treatment

    In order to keep my feet looking and feeling fabulous, I soak them at least 3 times a week. Over the years, I've tried bath oils, salts, pumice stones, and lotions but my all time favorite foot treatment is pure extra virgin olive oil. I prefer to use it in conjunction with a foot spa like the Homedics Jet Action Footbath, although a regular container will work just fine. I pour about 1/4 of a cup of extra virgin olive oil into warm to hot water and soak my feet for 30 minutes to an hour. Make sure you keep a clean towel nearby to dry your feet, as well as a clean pair of thick socks, because your feet will be extremely oily and slippery after this treatment. The last thing you need is fabulous feet and a few minor injuries. Pain is not always beauty beach bunnies! Back to the treatment, after thoroughly drying your feet, massage a small amount of extra virgin olive oil onto them, focusing on your heels and soles. I recommend only using thick socks, as the oil will soak through thinner ones. Again, safety first. Thanks to this treatment, I now only use a pumice stone every other week and my feet always look and feel fantastic. Follow these simple steps 3 times a week and you will find yourself pumice-ing less and flaunting more! Hope everyone is able to enjoy your Sunday with your family and friends XO
