How To Remove Dead Skin From The Soles Of Your Feet

Our feet naturally exfoliate themselves and shed dead skin cells, which is why we sometimes find loose skin forming on the soles of our feet. However, this dead skin can begin to build up due to a lack of moisture and from our feet always being covered with shoes and socks.

Because of that, we need to take care of our feet by removing the dead skin. To do so, we have to exfoliate and scrub them, which will help them stay healthy.

Pumice Stone

A pumice stone is simply a natural lava stone that you can use to remove the dead skin from the soles of your feet. It helps remove callouses as well. To use a pumice stone, either dip it into some warm water or soak your feet in warm water for at least ten minutes. The latter allows the skin on the feet to become softer and easier to remove.

You can then use the pumice stone in circular motions on the feet to remove all the dead skin. Always focus on the top layer of skin to promote healthier skin cell turnover.

Once done, apply a nourishing and hydrating foot lotion to further soften your feet. Avoid using a pumice stone if you have an injury, experience foot soreness, or suspect that you may have some kind of infection.

Foot Scrub

A good foot scrub contains granules that can help remove the dead skin from the soles of your feet. You can find a good foot scrub in stores, or you can easily make one yourself at home. All you need to do is to dilute a couple of tablespoons of sea salt into an equal amount of both baby oil and lemon juice.

Apply the foot scrub to your feet, and rub it in gently with the palm of your hand. You can also use a foot scrub brush or sponge to make it easier. Once done, rinse your feet with warm water.

Salt Scrub

A salt scrub is another excellent way to remove dead skin from the feet. Magnesium sulfate, or more commonly known as Epsom salt, is a mineral compound. When you soak your feet in warm water and Epsom salt or use an Epsom salt foot scrub, you can exfoliate dry, cracked feet while removing dead skin.

Sea salt is equally beneficial to your feet. A bamboo charcoal salt scrub, for example, helps uncover the fresh skin lying underneath. The addition of charcoal provides a detoxifying benefit for the skin, removes toxins from the pores, and draws out any impurities.

No matter how you decide to remove the dead skin from the soles of your feet, you will want to do so regularly. That way, you can have smooth, healthy feet and avoid irritation and dry, cracked skin.

Why Natural-Looking Lips Are Making A Comeback

The way we look is constantly changing, and trends come and go. That is why more women today are embracing what they already have. Natural-looking lips are making a comeback, and here are a couple of reasons as to why that might be.

The Dangers Of Fillers

Depending on the type of filler used in beauty products, they can negatively affect our skin and health. Lip augmentation was once a popular procedure that women used to achieve fuller and plumper-looking lips.

Many fillers contain elements that are similar to hyaluronic acid. This is a natural substance found in the body and can help increase the volume in our lips. However, there are still potential risks involved in using lip fillers, such as the following:

• Infection
• A lumpy appearance under the skin
• The filler moving away from the lips
• Scarring
• Blocked blood vessels in the face

Lip fillers can also cause allergic reactions and the death of skin cells.

No More Touch-Ups

A more cosmetic reason for switching from lip fillers and other enhancements to a more natural look is not having to constantly touch up your lips while you are out. Instead of worrying about how your lips look everywhere you go, you can fully enjoy your time with others knowing that your lips look fantastic on their own.

Healthy, Natural Lips

So how can we achieve healthy and natural-looking lips? We have to stay hydrated and pay more attention to our lips as we go through our daily beauty routines.

Exfoliation with a good-quality lip scrub and a nourishing lip balm is all we need. For example, using citrus is a great way to wake the lips up and make them appear brighter naturally. In addition, good mint oil can help refresh and soothe the lips, which is especially beneficial if they are dry and in need of some TLC.

Before you turn to artificial fillers and other enhancements to make your lips look full and plump, look at your other options. Consider what a bit of exfoliation, hydration, and care can do to make your natural lips stand out.

Mengapa Clean Beauty Menjadi Tren

Di dunia sekarang ini, semakin banyak konsumen yang ingin bisa mengenali dan mengucapkan bahan-bahan yang ada di skincare favoritnya. Mereka ingin tahu apa yang mereka gunakan sekaligus mengalihkan fokus mereka ke produk yang lebih sustainable dan ramah lingkungan. Semakin sedikit bahan yang digunakan, maka semakin kecil pula dampaknya pada lingkungan kita.

Mari kita lihat mengapa Clean Beauty menjadi tren dan cari tahu bagaimana kamu bisa mencapai rutinitas perawatan kulit ala Bali yang lebih alami.

Mengapa Clean Beauty Begitu Populer?

Kata “clean” atau “bersih” dapat memiliki arti yang berbeda bagi tiap orang begitu juga dengan merek nya. Istilah itu sendiri tidak diatur dalam industri kecantikan; oleh karena itu, tidak ada definisi tunggal. Setiap merek keluar dengan interpretasi mereka sendiri tentang clean beauty seraya menggunakan bahan-bahan yang menurut mereka alami dan dapat diterima.

Clean Beauty populer karena orang-orang mencari produk yang bebas dari bahan beracun dan bahan kimia dan juga yang lebih sustainable dan lebih aman untuk digunakan.

 Bahan Yang Harus Dihindari

Meskipun masih ada ketidaksepakatan mengenai bahan mana yang tidak boleh dianggap sebagai bagian dari program clean beauty, ada dua bahan yang lebih diterima secara universal sebagai bahan yang harus dihindari. Kedua bahan tersebut adalah paraben dan SLS.

Paraben adalah pengawet yang digunakan di banyak produk agar tidak membusuk. SLS merupakan bahan yang menghilangkan minyak dan menghasilkan busa di beberapa produk yang kita gunakan seperti sampo dan sabun mandi.

Keduanya biasa ditemukan pada produk-produk kecantikan, meski dapat memberi iritasi pada kulit. Paraben juga pernah dikaitkan dengan kanker.

Membeli Produk Clean Beauty

Clean Beauty sedang naik daun di skincare Bali karena menawarkan cara yang lebih aman dan alami untuk merawat kulit dan tubuh kita. Namun, apakah itu tren yang ingin kamu ikuti? Bagi konsumen, penting untuk mengetahui dan memahami produk dan bahan apa yang mereka gunakan, supaya mereka menjadi lebih sadar tentang bahan apa saja yang dianggap berbahaya.

Kalau dipikir-pikir, bahan yang bersih dan tidak beracun memang terbukti lebih baik untuk kesehatan kulit kita. Jadi kalau kamu tertarik untuk memiliki kulit yang sehat dan penampilan yang lebih awet muda, maka clean beauty adalah tren yang pastinya patut kamu pertimbangkan.

Produk clean beauty, seperti yang dapat kamu temukan di Utama Spice, dibuat dan diproduksi dengan penuh perhatian dan tanpa menyertakan bahan-bahan yang berbahaya ataupun beracun. Bahan-bahan di dalam produk clean beauty ini bersumber secara etis serta dibuat dengan mempertimbangkan kesehatan tubuh dan lingkungan.

Meta: Clean Beauty adalah tren yang sedang naik daun di kalangan skincare Bali karena semakin banyak orang mencari bahan yang bersumber secara etis serta aman untuk digunakan di dalam produk kecantikan mereka.

Try These DIY Lip Scrubs You Can Make At Home

When you use a good lip scrub, you can exfoliate your lips and remove the dry, flaking skin that may have built up there. After all, you can’t always achieve the shine, softness, and smoothness you want for your lips without exfoliation.

Scrubbing and exfoliating our lips is recommended one to three times per week. If you have cracked lips, you want to make sure to moisturize before exfoliating. Otherwise, you will end up making them worse.

Most areas of our skin contain oil glands. That is not the case with our lips. Since our lips cannot produce their own moisture, we need to give them a helping hand.

Take a look at some of the easiest DIY lip scrubs you can make at home to exfoliate your lips, boost their shine, and make them softer:

Citrus DIY Lip Scrub

The citrus oils in this recipe have high antioxidant levels. The lemon can help your lips stay healthy while preventing damage from free radicals and protecting the collagen in your lips.

What You Need:

• 1 drop lemon essential oil
• 1 drop grapefruit essential oil
• ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• ½ tablespoon sugar
• Lip scrub container

What To Do:

Start by mixing together the coconut oil, sugar, and vanilla extract. You can then add the essential oils and combine them. Afterward, you can store the scrub in your lip scrub container of choice.

Lavender Scrub

Lavender oil mixed with coconut oil is great for relieving dry, chapped lips. It is also perfect for creating a nourishing lip balm you can use daily.

What You Need:

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons raw honey
• 4 drops lavender essential oil
• 1 teaspoon lavender buds
• Lip scrub container

What To Do:

Combine the coconut oil, honey, and sugar and mix well. Add four drops of the essential oil and the lavender buds. Blend everything with a fork, and then transfer the mixture into your lip scrub container.

DIY Mint Lip Scrub

Mint provides a refreshing scent and a cooling effect that can be good for dry lips. It also helps heal cracked lips, which is why it is one of the more popular active ingredients you can find in many commercial lip balms and lip glosses.

What You Need:

• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• 4 drops mint essential oil
• 2 drops vanilla extract
• Lip scrub container

What To Do:

Start by combining the sugar and coconut oil. It is easier to do this when the oil is solid. You can then slowly add in the mint essential oil. Feel free to use more or less of it, depending on your personal preferences. Keep in mind, however, that mint essential oil is strong. Next, add the vanilla extract and mix well. Place the mixture into your lip scrub container.

As you can see, there are DIY lip scrub recipes you can quickly make at home in your spare time. With these, you no longer have to spend a lot on commercial variants.

Meta: Using only a few simple ingredients, you can make your own DIY lips scrubs at home. These are natural and completely safe for use.

How To Keep Your Lips Healthy

We all want soft and supple lips, right? Well, keeping our lips hydrated and healthy is actually what is most important. You won’t be able to have plump, pink lips without paying a little more attention to your lips and mouth.

Exfoliate Your Lips

Before going to bed at night, apply a high-quality lip balm. When you wake up in the morning, you can use a damp washcloth or a lip scrub to gently remove any dead or dry skin that may be on your lips. Exfoliating the lips is a good way to increase blood circulation in that area as well.

Stay Hydrated

One extremely common cause of dry skin is the fact that not enough water has been consumed. Dehydration can wreak havoc on your skin’s health. That is why you need to make sure you are drinking at least eight glasses of water per day. Staying properly hydrated does wonders for your skin and can help make your lips look plump and healthy.

Use The Right Lip Balm

Not all lip balms are created equal. So, before you apply your lip balm, see what ingredients it contains. You want to find lip balms that contain shea butter, cocoa butter, and coconut oil because these create a natural barrier of protection for your lips from the heat and pollution. Other ingredients commonly found in lip balm, such as camphor, can dry your lips out.

Beeswax is another commonly used ingredient in lip balm. Instead of drying out the lips like camphor can, it hydrates them and helps the lips retain moisture. This makes beeswax ideal for dry or chapped lips.

Sun Protection

Just as we have to wear sunscreen to protect our skin, we need to give our lips the same kind of care with adequate sun protection. Keep in mind that even lips can get damaged by harmful UV rays because of sun exposure. Find a lip balm that contains SPF 15 or higher, and reapply it hourly for the best results.

Try Grapefruit Oil

Another way to boost circulation in the lip area is to use grapefruit oil.

Simply mix the grapefruit oil with a carrier oil like coconut oil for an easy DIY lip balm you can apply throughout the day. All it takes is a couple of drops of grapefruit oil for your lips to reap its benefits.

If you want to have healthy lips, remember to stay hydrated and exfoliate your lips a few times a week. See to it that you use a lip balm with SPF too.

Meta: To keep your lips soft and healthy, you need to focus on staying hydrated, using the right products, and exfoliating regularly.

Personalizing Your Skincare

When we aim for a more personalized skincare routine, we can take full advantage of the products we use because they will be more suitable to our skincare needs and problems.

Benefits Of Personalized Skincare
When we personalize our beauty products, we know that the products we choose to use are free of ingredients that could ultimately cause skin sensitivity, reactions, and breakouts. Doing so can help us achieve any skincare goal, whether it is to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, prevent breakouts, or improve the overall tone of our skin.
When it comes to skincare, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. At Utama Spice, we understand this and have created a DIY shop that allows you to get the exact products that you want.

DIY Skincare
Our Utama Spice location in Jakarta has an interactive DIY skincare area where customers have the opportunity to make personalized lip balms, body scrubs, body mists, and bath salts. They can even customize liquid soaps by adding in some of their favorite scents. So not only will you know the ingredients you are putting into each product, but you will have the chance to personalize their aromas as well.

Choosing Your Ingredients
In addition to choosing your favorite scents, you are also selecting the ingredients. When doing this, keep in mind your skin type and what you are hoping to achieve.
For example, if you have dry, chapped skin or want to encourage hair growth, then jojoba oil is an ingredient you may want to add to lotions and shampoos. Jojoba oil is also good to incorporate into face and hand lotions as well as cleansing products.
For an anti-aging lotion, consider adding tamanu oil. It is used in many anti-aging products, and it is rich in fatty acids. It helps keep the skin moisturized and also contains antioxidants that can fight against damage caused by free radicals.
As you can see, the options are endless when it comes to personalizing your skincare routine. Use the DIY areas in our store to find what will work best for your skin and body.

Meta: Personalized skincare is targeted to your own unique needs and can help you have the best complexion. You can opt for jojoba oil, tamanu oil, and more.
