DIY Pedicure: Cracked heels and tanning of feet will be cured, make tomato foot scrub at home like this

News India Live, Digital Desk: The scorching sun and dust have the worst effect on our feet. Often we take care of the face, but ignore the tanning and dryness of the feet. The result is blackened skin and cracked heels. If you also want to avoid the expense of going to an expensive parlor to get pedicure done, then ‘Tomato’ is the panacea for your problem. The lycopene and bleaching properties present in tomatoes not only remove stubborn tanning from the feet but also give them a velvety feel.

Why is tomato foot scrub special?

Tomato is naturally acidic, which helps in removing dead skin cells. When mixed with sugar or coffee, it works as a great exfoliator. It removes the darkness of the legs, makes the skin tone even and is effective in eliminating tanning from its roots.

Prepare ‘magical’ scrub at home like this (Step-by-Step)

It is very easy to make and use. Just follow these steps:

Material: One ripe tomato, two spoons of powdered sugar and one spoon of honey.

Method of preparation: Cut the tomato into two parts from the middle. Now apply sugar and honey on one half.

Method of use: Wash your feet with lukewarm water first. Now scrub the feet and ankles with a piece of tomato gently in circular motion for 5-10 minutes.

For tanning: Give a little more time to the tanning area. After this, wash your feet with plain water and apply moisturizer or coconut oil.

Follow these tricks for better results

Coffee seasoning: If there is a lot of dead skin on the feet, then mix half a teaspoon of coffee powder with sugar. It increases blood circulation and gives instant glow to the feet.

Take care of time: Follow this remedy at least twice a week before sleeping at night. Feet will be nourished overnight and your skin will feel soft by morning.
