Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons of baking soda
- 1 bucket of warm water
- 5 drops of lavender essential oil (optional)
- 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Foot Soak: Fill a bucket or basin with warm water, enough to cover your feet. Ensure the water is comfortably warm, but not too hot.
- Add Baking Soda: Measure out 3 tablespoons of baking soda and add it to the warm water. Stir the water with your hand or a spoon until the baking soda is fully dissolved.
- Optional Additions: If you’d like to enhance the soak, add 5 drops of lavender essential oil for a relaxing aroma, and 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt for extra soothing benefits. Stir again to mix everything well.
- Soak Your Feet: Immerse your feet in the solution and relax for 15-20 minutes. During this time, the baking soda will work its magic by softening your skin, neutralizing odors, and helping to exfoliate dead skin cells.
- Rinse and Dry: After soaking, rinse your feet with clean, warm water and pat them dry with a soft towel.
- Moisturize: To keep your feet soft and hydrated, apply a good quality foot cream or a natural oil like coconut or olive oil after drying.
What Happens:
After trying this foot soak, you’ll likely notice how soft and smooth your feet feel. The baking soda helps to neutralize any foot odor, and the exfoliating effect leaves your skin feeling refreshed. Regular use can even help alleviate minor foot discomfort.
Note: If you have any open cuts or wounds on your feet, avoid using this soak until they have healed.
