Sugar scrub for dead skin - Dead skin cells are a huge hassle to deal with. They end up clogging your pores which can lead to multiple skincare issues. One easy way to get rid of dead skin cells is to use a sugar scrub. Mix one tablespoon of sugar with one tablespoon of olive oil or honey and then rub this mixture all over your body. Rinse it off after about ten minutes and you'll see how efficiently it can clear off dead skin cells.

Salt solution for soft feet - If you want to give your feet the love they deserve you should opt for a salt solution. In a tub, pour warm water and some salt. Dip your feet in the tub and let them soak for 5-10 minutes. Salt contains antibacterial properties that will help get rid of all the bacteria and smell from your feet.

Aloe vera gel for wounds and burns - Aloe vera gel contains some amazing antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties. All you need to do is wash the affected area and then apply some aloe vera gel to it. Leave it on and let it work its magic. You can reapply the gel 2-3 times a day for best results.
