DIY BAKING SODA FOOT SOAK TO CURE DRY CRACKED FEET
INGREDIENTS:
- 4-5 liters of water in a bucket ( make sure your feet fit in)
- 3 tbsp of baking soda
- Epsom salts ( optional)
- Lavender oil
- Soft scrub sponge/ pumice stone/ brush
- Moisturizer
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First, pour the baking soda in the bucket of water
- Mix well so that the baking soda is fully dissolved
- Add a few drops of lavender oil, if you want to mimic a home spa. The relaxing aroma of lavender oil will calm you down after a tough day at work
- Soak the feet in this solution for 15-20 minutes
- When done soaking the feet, run the underside using a soft scrub sponge, a pumice stone, or a scrub brush
- When done, coat the feet in a moisturizer high in glycerin, Vaseline, or coconut oil
- Put socks on to seal the moisture. It is recommended to sleep with the socks on all night
- Repeat this process a few times a week and one or two times a month during the winter season
- If you are interested in making this routine even more intense and effective, mix baking soda with water to create a paste to scrub the feet prior scrubbing them with a brush or pumice stone
Homemade spa treatments are very inexpensive and fun! Practicing this routine regularly ensures having pretty feet regardless of the season, so you can stay out with confidence.
