Step 5 : Foot Soak in a Spa Style :
Preparing foot soaking solution:
-Take one Basin Warm water.You can use any home container as a bowl.
-Take 2 table spoon Epsom salt.or you can use normal salt we use in cooking.
-Put 2 or 3 drops of essential oil.The best one is Lavender oil.Alternate way,you can put 1 table spoon Rose water in the bowl.
-Put 3 or 4 table spoon Lemon Juice.
-Now mix Foot wash in the solution.If you don't have a foot wash you can use any shampoo.But i personally do not like using shampoo for pedicure.I mix foaming shower gel in the solution.
-Mix everything well & prepare a warm,soapy & runny solution.
Preparing Warm Pebbles :
Put some smooth pebbles in the warm water before starting your pedicure.
Now put those pebbles in your pedicure solution.
Here's start your Foot Spa.Soak your feet in the warm soapy solution for 20 to 25 minutes.Within this time turn on your favourite music & relax.After 20 minutes towel dry your feet.
Step 6 : Exfoliating By Scrub :
Use foot scrub to exfoliate your legs' & feet's skin.I use meena herbals hand & foot scrub.Price : 100 tk.
You can use homemade scrub as well.Make scrub by rice powder,sugar,lemon juice & olive oil.Exfoliate your feet & legs' skin with the scrub to slough away dead skin cells.
Step 7 : Smoothing Heels :
For this step you need Pumice stone,Foot brush & nail brush.You can alternately use this type of pedicure brush too.See this picture :
This type of brush has pumice stone,brush,heel scrubber & heel smoother.
First,by the pumice stone rub your heels to remove the dead cells of feet.You can use single pumice stone.
Rub the pumice stone in a back & forth motion.Also rub at the side of your heels.
Now you can use the Heel scrubber & heel smoother like the pumice stone.If you feel your feet is soft after using pumice stone then you do not need to use the rest of them.

If you feel after using scrub you need to clean your feet then you can do this step.Take a foot brush & clean your feet by foamy shower gel.You can also clean your nails by nail brush.You can use sticks to pull out the dirts inside the nail beds.See the picture :
