Cheap Mom Spa Treatment

by JillM

Sometimes when we become single, we find our finances for things like pedicures go completely out the window! A friend of mine on a social site I belong to had a great idea for a foot and elbow scrub that she created all on her own. Directions are as follows:

Scrub Ingredients:

1 Tablespoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Baking Soda
1 Tablespoon KY Jelly or Hair Conditioner

Presoak your feet in chamomile tea, if you have any. Scrub your feet and elbows in the mixture listed above.

She said that her feet turned out as smooth as a baby’s bottom, along with her elbows. She did warn against using it on your face as it is pretty harsh and works like something of a chemical peel! Ow!

I’m going to try this today and see how it works. She used the KY, but I don’t happen to have that on hand so she suggested conditioner instead. Will be interesting!
