4 Homemade Foot Soak Recipes ( Part of Beauty Rescue # 4 Dry and Cracked Heels)

After you have finished with my dry and cracked heels rescue, treat your feet with these homemade and DIY soaks. The ingredients are easy to find at home or at the grocery stores.


Recipe Directions:
Unless otherwise noted, mix together all ingredients thoroughly then store in an airtight container.
Use 2 to 3 tablespoons per gallon of water used in soak.

Water temperature is at personal preference, but I find the hottest water my feet will comfortably tolerate gives the most relief and comfort.

Foot Soak Recipes

Recipe #1

1 part table salts ( Table salt will not only relax the sore muscles but also increases your blood circulation, besides exfoliating your skin.)
1 part Baking soda
drops of choice essential oils (optional)
