After a long stressful day spent on your feet almost nothing feels better than a relaxing foot soak. If you can convince your significant other to oblige, an accompanying foot rub isn't so bad either. If not, well at least you can still have that revitalizing soak, made even better with this super simple Rosemary Foot Reviver from Jo Fairley's do-it-yourself treatment guide, The Ultimate Natural Beauty Book.

The mint and rosemary in this recipe are naturally cooling and invigorating, while the lactic acid in the milk is soothing. If you put pebbles or marbles in the bottom of the bowl, you can roll your toes over them while you soak your feet, which is totally relaxing for body, soul - and soles.

Ingredients 

225ml (8fl oz) milk
50g (2oz) fresh mint leaves
6 large sprigs of fresh rosemary
6 drops peppermint essential oil

Put the milk and fresh herbs in a small pan over a low heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, and pour into a bowl large enough to bathe your feet in. Top up with warm or cool water, as preferred - or, best of all, some more milk. Add the peppermint essential oil, drop by drop, and swish.
