After a long, harsh winter, are the bottoms of your feet looking less-than-attractive right now? You could scare your next pedicurist … or you could try an easy at-home foot treatment. This hybrid DIY beauty project works well as both a scrub and a mask. Exfoliate your feet with sugar and oatmeal, then let it sit on your feet for a few minutes so your toes can soak up the benefits of the moisturizing vitamin E, olive oil and sweet almond oil.
