Winter days require certain payment from your skin and they are causing big skin catastrophe. Sudden temperature differences, cold and wind are leaving skin marks and injuries. That’s why is important to pay a lot of attention to the skin, taking care of it and spoiling it. And doing that we certainly must not forget about our feet.
In a world where all we does is stand, run, walk and lift – our feet support us the entire way. While being stifled in shoes and socks all day, they have restricted circulation and air contact. Be kind to someone close to you and give them the gift of a foot rub.
TIPS:
- Have receiver lean back against a pillow or a couch, and make sure he or she is relaxed and comfortable. Perhaps include some relaxing background music or lightly scented candles.
- Massage slowly and gently to induce relaxation, and massage more quickly and deeply to induce stimulation.Throughout massage, if you feel tension building up in your hands, periodically shake hands loose of energy and continue massage.
THINGS YOU’LL NEED:
- Towels
- Cream and/or oil
- Warm water in a tub or basin
- Bath salts
- Favorite essential oil (preferably lavender or peppermint)
- Pillow
- (Optional) Soft background music
- (Optional) Lightly scented candles
STEPS:
- Soak feet in warm water for about 10 minutes. You may wish to include drops of your favorite essential oil or bath salts. Peppermint or lavender oil is preferred by many. Make sure feet are completely dry before starting massage.
- Apply a moderate amount of cream or oil to hands to add to comfort and ease. Make sure hands are warm to avoid discomfort. Mineral oil is not absorbed in the skin, and it wipes off cleanly.
- Start massaging and just use your imagination.
