Direction :
*1 cup green tea leaves or if you’re using the green tea bags use
about 5 of the tea bags.
*Steep the tea leaves or tea bags in boiling water for 20 minutes
(use a medium to large pot to steep the leaves in depending on the size of your
foot bath.
*After 20 mins fill up your foot bath with the green tea let it
sit until you’re able to put your foot in comfortably. While you’re waiting for
it to cool down grab your favorite essential oil and put in a couple of drop
2-3 is a sufficient amount.
My favorite essential oil to add to my foot bath is tea tree it's
very soothing. Tea tree oil itself has many beneficial properties that is why I
choose to use it plus my feet feel amazing after using this essential oil. I
must say if you use tea tree oil it is very strong so use only 1-2 drops.
*Soak your feet in the green tea for 15- 20 mins
*After your feet have been soaking take your foot file and buff
away the dead skin on the bottom. Focus on your heels and wherever you think
you need it most. Don’t forget to push back your cuticles as well with a
cuticle stick.
*When you’re done pushing back your cuticles and buffing away the
dead skin it’s time to wash your feet with warm water. Now your feet should
feel so relaxed and smooth.
*But were not done just yet take a towel and dry your feet. Once
that is done take a little bit of olive
oil and massage it on each foot.
oil and massage it on each foot.
And you’re done! You should now have soft spring ready feet.
