While we tend to take special care of our faces and our bodies, we often tend to miss out on caring for our feet. Just like the skin on the rest of your body, the skin on your feet also requires moisturising and nourishing or else it can be prone to dryness, tan and pigmentation. One way to care for your feet would be to get regular pedicures done but we all know that most of us have neither the time nor the money to hit the spa so frequently. So, if you're planning on giving your feet some much-needed care, opt for home remedies instead. Here are some easy ways in which you can care for your feet at home. Take a look.

One thing that everyone hates is cracks on their feet. They can be painful and annoying plus they make your feet look bad. There are multiple hacks out there that can help you keep your feet in tip-top condition. One hack is to apply some Vaseline or petroleum jelly on your feet before bed every night and then wash your feet the next day. They're bound to become smooth and soft in no time.

Olive oil doesn't just come in handy when you want to cook something; it works wonders in skincare too. Soak a cotton ball in olive oil and then apply the oil to your feet while massaging in a gentle circular motion. Do this for about 20 minutes and then wear a pair of socks. Take them off after an hour and wash your feet with lukewarm water. Repeat this process twice a month for best results.

If you're wondering which kitchen ingredient we're talking about, say hello to baking soda! Take a bucket of water and add two tablespoons of baking soda to it. Add some bath salts for added effects and soak your feet in this water for about 30 minutes. Once done, rinse your feet and voila! You'll have soft feet in no time.

As much as you like to ignore your feet when you take a shower, you actually need to pay most of your attention to them. Your feet tend to collect bacteria, dirt, grime and sweat in huge quantities, which is why you need to clean them properly. Dip your feet in lukewarm water and then use a brush or a loofah and some soft bathing gel to gently rub your feet. Rub your feet from the top, the soles and even in between your toes. Once you're done, wash your feet and then pat them dry.

When you get home from work, the one thing you should do is take a long hot shower and then soak your feet in warm water to help get rid of all the tiredness and stiffness from your body. Fill a bucket with lukewarm water and squeeze some lemon juice into it. Next, opt for a herbal body wash or oil and pour a few drops into the mix as well. Then, soak your feet in the water for a good 5-10 minutes and then use a regular foot file to file away all the dirt and bacteria from your skin.

Like we mentioned earlier, natural ingredients can really work wonders for your feet. So, if you're looking for a foot scrub, it's best that you make one yourself. Heat some milk in a pan and add a dash of salt and some lemon juice to the mix. Let, it cool and then beat the ingredients into a paste. Take this paste and rub it on your feet in gentle circular motions and ensure that you give your feet a good massage. Leave the mixture on for 15-20 minutes and then wash it off with lukewarm water.

Why use artificial moisturisers when you have all the moisturising ingredients you need at home. One of these ingredients happens to be honey. Fill some lukewarm water in a bucket and then pour a scoop honey into it. Mix well and then soak your feet in the water for around 20-30 minutes. Once done, pat your feet dry with a towel and voila, you'll have silky smooth feet in no time!
