    If you prefer sitting with your feet closer, place the towel on a bed or lounge and place your feet. This will protect the carpet/bedspread/sofa, etc. from oil and will also soak up excess oil.

    Pay particular attention to the hardened areas and work the oil in.

      Tips

      • This is a good thing to do just before going to bed. You can shower first in order to have lovely, clean feet.
        Thanks
      • Soaking your feet in water and using a pumice stone on calluses before using olive oil will hydrate the skin. Putting oil on after water will help to 'seal in' the moisture.

      Warnings

      • Wear bed socks with grip pads after oiling your feet - it will keep the oil from rubbing off onto the ground, and stop you from slipping.
