Steps:

- Add a few pebbles to the bottom of the tub ( I took some marble stones from the river and painted it)
- Now dip your feet into the tub. Soak for 15-30minutes. If you are doing it regularly 15 min is enough.
- Cleanse your feet with rose water and Glycerin.
- Take a pumice stone or a foot file and work on the rough skin
- Use a scrub. Sugar and olive oil will work good
- Rinse the feet with cold water
- Trim and shape your nails
- Give a nice massage to the feet. You can use a massager too

Massaging your feet:
Take any massaging cream or oil and rub it in your both palms. Apply to your feet with both hands. Work to and fro with light strokes in the direction of toes. Gently pull your fingers. Rotate clock wise and anti-clock wise. Push thumbs to and fro in the sole. Apply sight pressure to the heels and ankles with a firm motion. You can use a massager as wekk. You can use a marble pebble and using it do circular motions in feet. You are done! Soft, silky feet are all yours!
