Saving $ on a Pedicure?

if you have a footbath or a large bowl you can eaily do this yourself. fill it with half a cup of baking soda(or milk, both act as exfoliants and make your skin so soft), one tea bag (black, white or green contain tannic acid which will soak up any odours and dirt) and sea salt (to detoxify). adding essential oils if you have them is also beneficial. (rosemary, lavender, peppermint all increase circulation -making your feet smoother and moist) soak them for about 10min, then if you have a pumice stone/foot filer gently rub all over your feet concentrating on rough areas. soak your feet again for a few moments. and after you dry them off moisturize with an oil. (you're skin is made up of oil, not 'cream' or lotion' so use oil. olive oil is great, as if avocado, coconut, almond etc..) then seal all that in with socks.Saving $ on a Pedicure?
Get the new Ped Egg from as seen on tv or bed bath and beyond...you remove old skin, then use your lotion to keep them smooth.
ur feet must b really crusty if lotion dont take the ash away!!!
