Banana Foot Bath
Banana is rich in vitamins and
antioxidants that protect and heal damaged skin and cracked heels. Banana
exfoliates your skin removing dead skin cells at the same time moisturizing
your feet. To prepare a banana foot bath, blend or mash up one banana with 2
cup of warm water until smooth. Then pour the mixture into a small basin or
bucket and place your feet into the solution. Allow you feet to soak in the mixture for 20 minutes. Then rub the solution
over your toes and heels for about 2 minutes using a pumice stone. Then rinse
off with water and moisturize.
