DIY : GIVE A RELAXING FOOT MASSAGE!

Today’s TuesTorial is great because you can either do it on yourself or give to a lucky friend! Who doesn’t love a relaxing foot massage after you have been standing on your feet all day?!?! Ummmm… EVERYONE! 🙂 So next time your feet are worn out, unwind with these great tips from Ashley Waggoner & Karina Garcia (Students from our Cosmetology program at La’ James International College).

Items Needed:

• Gentle Sanitizer
• Lotion
• Worn out & tired Feet!

Step 1: Begin by applying a gentle sanitizer to both your hands & the foot. Karina is using CND Cool Blue Sanitizer on classmate Ashley.

Step 2: Next grab your favorite lotion or body cream. Always put the product in your hands first. & warm it up by rubbing your hands together. Then apply to the foot, down the leg & back up with firm pressure & long sweeping motions. Karina & Ashley are using their favorite CND Earth Hydrating Lotion.

Step 3: Use your knuckles, fingertips and/or palms to massage up the calf.

Step 4: With your thumb and index finger, gently pull and rotate each toe. Rotate 3 times to the right & then 3 times to the left.

Step 5: Next, use firm pressure & your thumbs in a circular motion to massage the bottom of the foot. “Up & out, up & out”… starting at the heel and working your way up the foot. This is very beneficial & feels amazing since most nerve endings are at the bottom of the foot.

Step 6: Continue with your circular motions… “Up & out, up & out”, all the way to the back of the toes.

Step 7: Next, gently flex the foot down and sweep your hands up the foot towards the toes.

Step 8: Finish by sweeping right off the toes. Repeat step 7 & 8. Once the massage is complete, repeat on the other foot.

Optional Step 9: Convincing your friend that it’s your turn for the relaxing foot massage! 🙂
