Exfoliating foot mask at home

Before studying and choosing a specific recipe, you should familiarize yourself with the rules for the procedure:

  • The composition of the home mask should not include ingredients that can cause allergies. If a person has a history of inadequate body reactions to food, house dust and any other irritants, then you should especially pay attention to the natural components of the product.
  • Before applying the mask, the legs must be thoroughly cleaned and steamed.. They do this with the help of an ordinary bath: the feet are immersed ankle-deep in moderately hot water and kept there for 10-20 minutes (while the temperature is maintained). For the bath, you can use decoctions of herbs (chamomile, sage), soda or saline.
  • In order for the effect of the exfoliating mask to be complete, it is recommended to wear cotton socks while applying it. And after the procedure, the treated feet are smeared with a moisturizing or nourishing cream for the lower extremities.
  • Foot care should be carried out regularly, so homemade masks can be applied daily for a quick effect. Subsequently, such procedures are carried out 1 - 2 times a week constantly.

There are several recipes for homemade foot masks, each of which has an exfoliating effect, softening the skin along the way and showing anti-inflammatory abilities.

The duration of the procedure is 1 hour minimum, you can leave the product on your feet and all night. If dried vegetable raw materials are used to prepare the mask, then it is combined with a small amount of kefir, sour cream or natural yogurt.

With cereals

Rice, buckwheat, corn grits and oatmeal can be successfully used to make exfoliating foot masks, but they must first be ground in a blender or coffee grinder. The effect of the procedure will be similar to the result of deep cleansing of the skin - peeling, there will be no trace of dried particles of the epidermis. The most popular compositions of such funds include:

  • Rice + calendula decoction. The components are taken in such quantity that a mushy mass is obtained “at the exit”. A decoction of calendula flowers is prepared according to the classic recipe: 1 tablespoon of raw materials per 250 ml of water, boil in a water bath for 10 minutes. If the skin of the feet is excessively dry, then boiled calendula flowers can also be used in the preparation of the mask.

Decoction of calendula

The mask is applied on the feet with a thick layer, you can lightly massage the skin. From above, everything is wrapped in cellophane, socks are put on. It is advisable to carry out the procedure at night, and in the morning wash everything off with warm water, but the minimum time is 3 hours.

  • Rice + kefir + vegetable oil. The last ingredient is heated in a water bath to a warm state, kefir and rice grits are added to it in proportions of 2: 1: 1.5. The mass is thoroughly mixed, pounded into a homogeneous gruel with the smallest abrasive grains.

The mask is applied to the feet for only 30 minutes, the first 5 minutes you need to actively massage the skin with circular, rubbing movements, focusing on the heel area.

  • Oatmeal + nuts + kefir. The flakes are crushed into flour, any nuts crushed into small grains are added to them (almonds should be preferred) and kefir (can be replaced with sour cream) in a ratio of 3: 1: 2, respectively.

The composition is applied to the feet for only 20 minutes; it is not necessary to organize "greenhouse" conditions for it. After washing off the mask with warm water, treat the surface of the skin with a pumice stone and lubricate with a moisturizer.

With Aspirin

A prescription for such a drug with a drug exists in only one version. It is highly effective, so it is used only once a week, but constantly. The mask is being prepared from:

  • 10 tablets of Aspirin;
  • 10 ml of pure water;
  • 10 drops of lemon juice.

Tablets are crushed into powder, to which liquid components are added. You will get a mushy, rather coarse abrasive mixture. The mask is applied to the feet in an even layer, everything is covered with cling film on top and cotton socks are put on. The duration of the procedure is at least 3 hours, but it is better to leave the product on your feet all night.

With salt

Such funds cannot be used in case of existing injuries on the feet, but if there are shallow cracks, they will heal very quickly, and inflammatory processes have no chance of developing. The most simple, but very effective options include:


The resulting mass is applied to problem areas of the foot and incubated for 15-20 minutes. Then everything is washed off with warm water, and the skin must be lubricated with a moisturizer.

  • Tomatoes + salt. First, tomato puree is prepared by chopping fresh peeled tomatoes. To 100 g of the main component, add 50 g of table salt (ordinary kitchen salt), mix everything. The mask is applied to the feet and aged for as long as possible.

If there are small wounds on the skin surface, then saline products can corrode them, in which case a burning sensation and discomfort will appear. No need to be heroic - the mask should be quickly washed off with warm water. Salt products with an exfoliating effect are used for foot care no more than 1 time per week.

With coffee

The mask with this product can be used for any damage to the skin of the feet, but if there are cracks on it, they will turn dark. Experts recommend using this tool in the cold season, when the legs are covered with socks and stockings.

An exfoliating mask is prepared from ground natural coffee and sea salt (2 tablespoons each), cinnamon powder (1 tablespoon) and vegetable oil (olive oil should be preferred). The last ingredient is added to the dry mix in such an amount that the result is a homogeneous pasty mass.

A mask with coffee is applied for only 15 minutes, then the skin is cleaned with a pumice stone and washed with warm water. At the end of the procedure, you should lubricate the feet with a moisturizer.
