In our busy modern lives, it's easy to neglect the health of our feet. They ache, rub, and are often squeezed into tight shoes. It's usually not until the end of a long day that we notice the roughness of our skin and the numerous tiny cracks that have appeared. However, this issue can be addressed swiftly, effortlessly, and most importantly, inexpensively.
You will need:
- 5 tbsp of baking soda
- Shower gel
- A few drops of essential oil (lavender, orange, or lemon are good choices)
To use this remedy
Begin by soaking your feet in hot water for five minutes to steam them, which enhances the effectiveness of the treatment. Combine the shower gel, essential oil, and baking soda until you have a uniform paste. Massage this mixture into your feet. If the skin feels overly rough, employ a brush or pumice stone to work in the paste. Finally, rinse off the mixture and apply a moisturizing cream to your feet.
Baking soda is not only an effective treatment for tough and coarse skin on the feet, but it also neutralizes bad odors, accelerates healing, and combats fungal infections. Visible improvements are typically observed within two weeks.
