Poor feet! They take a daily beating and rarely get the attention they deserve. Because they often are hidden from a healthy flow of fresh air and moisture, they can get very flaky, itchy and dry. Here’s a natural way to give your feet the tender lovin’ care they deserve.
Strawberries, with a little help from oil and salt, work wonders to slough off dead skin cells, so you can say good-bye to dry, flaky feet.
In a blender, combine one cup of sliced strawberries, two tablespoons of olive oil and two teaspoons of coarse (kosher) salt. Pulse the mix until it has a pulpy consistency. (Don’t purée it!) Then gently massage it into your feet, especially on the heels where skin is usually the flakiest. Let it stay on for about two minutes, then rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly. Do this whenever your foot bottoms get that dry, flaky look.
