Walking, running, jumping, skipping - these are but a handful of activities our feet need to do, yet most of the time we take them for granted. Without doubt, our feet are the most active part of our body which contains 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments and 19 muscles. The fact is that most of the times they are definitely overworked.

Fill a bowl with some warm water. Put the feet in the bowl and use lotion or foot scrub to soften the feet. Then rub the hardened skin of the feet, as well as the calluses of the feet with a pumice stone. Remember to wait about 5 to 10 minutes until the feet are softened by the water before stone it.

Dry the feet thoroughly and then apply a thick layer of lotion from the top to the bottom of it. Then massage the feet with an upward circular motion.
