The milk and honey combination smoothes and moisurizes tired feet. Honey is wonderful in protecting and rejuvinating with its antioxident properties which act as skin rejuvinators, while its hydrogen peroxide properties aid in clensing.

Honey also has humectant properties that trap and seal in moisture, leaving skin soft and supple.

Step 1) Choose from one of our two honey baths:

Skin softening bath: Add a generous dollop of honey to foot bath water for a fragrant, silky soak.

Foaming vanilla honey bath: Mix one cup of sweet almond oil with 1/2 cup of honey, 1/2 cup of liquid soap, and one tablespoon of vanilla extract. Carefully stir the honey, liquid soap and vanilla extract into the oil until fully blended. Pour into a clean plastic bottle with a tight-fitting stopper or lid. Shake gently before using. Pour a dollop into your hand-soak bowl or foot bath then add warm water.

Step 2) Mix one tablespoon of honey with two tablespoons of finely ground almonds and 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice. Rub gently on the feet, then rinse with warm water.

Step 3) Next, choose one of the two moisture masks below:

Moisture mask: Mix four tablespoons of honey and three tablespoons of milk. Smooth over feets. Leave on 10 minutes, then rinse with warm water and pat dry.

Rose oil & honey mask: Mix two tablespoons of honey with two tablespoons sweet almond oil and five drops of rose essential oil. Massage onto clean feet, relax for 15 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water Gently pat dry.

Step 4) Smoothing lotion: Mix one teaspoon of honey with one teaspoon of vegtable oil and 1/4 teaspoon of lemon juice. Rub onto feet and let dry.
