Homemade Baking Soda Pedicure: A Simple Way to Have Healthy Feet

ADVERTISEMENT

Preparation:
Preparing a Foot Soak
In a large bowl or pedicure bowl, dissolve 2 tablespoons of baking soda in warm water. You can add a few drops of essential oil to enhance the aroma of your bath and provide extra care for your skin. The water should be warm, but not hot, to avoid scalding.

Foot Soak:
Place your feet in the prepared bath and soak them for about 15 to 20 minutes. The baking soda combined with warm water will help soften the skin, remove dead skin cells, and soothe irritation. In addition, the essential oil will have a relaxing effect.

Exfoliation and Cleansing
After bathing, use a pumice stone or foot file to gently remove hard skin from your heels and other hard areas of your feet. Be careful not to press too hard to avoid irritating the skin.

Moisturize
After your pedicure, apply your favorite moisturizer to your feet. You can also use special foot balms or oils, which will further regenerate the skin and make it soft.

Serving and Storage Tips:
You can do a baking soda pedicure regularly, at least once a week, to keep your feet in good condition.
To enhance the effect, add tea tree oil to the bath, which has antibacterial and antiviral properties that will help fight skin infections.
Use moisturizers that will provide the right amount of moisture and keep the skin on your feet smooth and elastic.
