Of the existing on the shelves can be noted scrubs from Organic Shop: polishing "Crystal Slipper", softening "Itchy" and renewing "Latte to go, please"; brand Lush "Pink Heels", which guarantees you pink and smooth heels. In addition, since one of the useful properties of the scrub is regeneration, today there is also transdermal scrub.

In addition to the benefits, you can also harm your legs, since this remedy is very hard on the skin. But there are special cases when the use of a foot scrub should be completely abandoned:

1. Vascular diseases of the legs;
2. Dermatological diseases, including trophic skin changes;
3. The sensitivity of the skin itself to the effects of the scrub;
4. Sensitivity or intolerance to the components that make up the scrub;
5. Injuries and swelling at the places of use of the product;

7. Inflammation and damage to the integrity of the skin, for example, wounds.

But preparing the mixture at home is often much more economical. Therefore, now you can get acquainted with some recipes for foot scrubs that you can cook with your own hands and use at home.

Based on coffee. It is worth noting that there are many options for preparing coffee scrubs, here is one of them: you will need 1 tablespoon of ground coffee (preferably not fine), 1 teaspoon of sea salt, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, which can be replaced with any other vegetable oil. Mix everything until thick.

Chocolate scrub recipes are also widely available. For one of them you will need: 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, the same amount of ground coffee and cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg, 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

The next remedy for your legs is based on citrus fresh. You will need 1 orange (half a grapefruit or 2-3 tangerines will also work instead of an orange). We remove all the seeds from the fruit, and grind together with the peel in a meat grinder or blender.

The last recipe that you can read in this article is an unusual mixture for ingrown hairs on the legs based on paracetamol, since it has an anti-inflammatory effect after depilation or epilation. To prepare this remedy, you will need 2-3 paracetamol tablets, a small amount of water and any body lotion. The consistency should be of medium thickness to make it easy to apply.

And now a video recipe for a scrub mask for pimples on the legs.

Before using it, you need to wash your feet, preferably with soap.

It is necessary to steam the skin of the legs before peeling. To do this, you can hold the legs in hot water for 10 minutes, while the water can be either pure or with the addition of herbal infusions, flavored oils, it is also possible to use sea salt, dry citrus peels or soda. Steaming your legs will not only soften your heels, but will also help soften your cuticles.

After completing the procedure, the product must be washed off with warm water, thoroughly wipe the skin and only then apply a cream (nourishing or moisturizing). Do not immediately put on socks after applying the cream, as it takes time for it to be absorbed.

• Use the product infrequently: no more than 2 times a week. However, the frequency may vary depending on your skin: if you have a very rough scrub, you can use more often.
• Best done before bed: during sleep, the legs rest and are at rest.
• It is known that after a scrub, useful substances are better absorbed.Therefore, after using it, it is advised to apply a special mask for the legs.
