Let’s face it, skin care in general can be a pretty expensive pursuit. You could randomly pick a women out of a crowd, go to her home and check her medicine cabinet and you would be shocked at the amount of money that has been invested in creams, ointments, and elixirs. But if you have made the conscious choice to pursue skin care on a wholly organic level, you might just break the bank entirely.

And the worst part is you are never completely positive that you are getting authentic organic skin care in the products you buy. Even if they are certified, most folks have that nagging voice in the back of their heads that always asks, “Is it really true?” The only real way to guarantee yourself organic skin care is to make your own solutions and remedies yourself. Here are a few simple, organic treatments you can give to one of the most neglected parts of your body: your feet.

There are 26 bones in the human foot, and after a day of standing or walking, you can feel every one of them ache. We all want to find that perfect cream or rub that not only makes the skin on your feet shine, but also soothes and heals them, too. Here are some great concoctions you can try at home, and the best part, they won’t cost you an arm and a foot.

It is amazing what the contents of your cabinets can do for your skin. One of the most underrated cleansers for your skin, and especially for your feet, is honey. An excellent and very inexpensive scrub that you can do at home is to simply take a single tablespoon of all-natural organic clover honey and apply it to a warm, clean washcloth and scrub your feet.

Pay extra attention to the toes and around your nails. The honey is naturally antibacterial and nothing on earth acts as a better moisturizer for your tender and stressed-out tootsies. You will, most likely, need a shower afterwards, however.

Maybe no single treatment is more relaxing after a long day at work than a long, hot foot soak. But other than using Epson salts and hot water, what can you do to benefit your skin, while at the same time relaxing your feet after a day of standing? Well, it depends on what you want to get out of it. Some foot soaks are for energizing, others are for relaxing and some aren’t even soaks at all! Let’s start with the first category.

Most people would buy organic milk to drink, or at the very least have on their cereal. But organic milk can also make for a great foot bath. Add in a few cups of organic milk to a mixture of hot water, Epson salts and a fragrant, moisturizing oil of your choice. Any essential oil will work. It is best to choose the one you find the most soothing and relaxing. Combine the ingredients and soak your feet for 15 minutes. You’ll love the way your feet feel afterwards.

Another good soak includes adding hot water, Epson salts, essential oils and the peels from 3 middle-sized organic oranges. The oils in the orange peels will slowly blend in with the other essential oils you added and create a super-moisturizing bath that will have your feet thanking you again and again.

Organic skin care for your feet isn’t a complicated chore, nor does it have to be expensive. Some essential oils can be pricy, but they last a very long time. You can concoct your own magical formulas, too. The ultimate goal here is relaxation and beautiful, all-natural skin care.
