foot soak recipe

Get a Pedicure or Do a Foot Soak Recipe to get your feet flip flop ready?

I used to get a pedicure once or twice a year. I’ve since stopped that. One: because it costs a lot of money. Two: after watching some news stories about the flesh eating bacteria (among other diseases) that you might could get if they don’t sterilize their materials right. I decided it just isn’t worth it to me. I also got a foot fungus from a pedicure that took me almost a year to get rid of. Um, yeah done. So I bought one of those foot soak tubs from my favorite neighbor at a yard sale for $5. It had never been used. I’ve used it repeatedly since I bought it and dearly love it. It’s a great way to remove the dead skin on the bottom of my feet and get my feet flip flop ready. I used a simple soak recipe.

Here’s the pic after I soaked and was about ready to scrub the bottom of my feet. You can see it was a much needed spa time for my poor feet!

Just a little scrubbing with a foot brush from the dollar store and that skin came right off. Did you see my daughter getting her feet done in the background? Love her. She’s a mini me if there ever was one.

This was after the soak and before the scrub and moisturizer. I love this foot soak recipe. I’m so happy with my results. Check out the last pic after my girl and I gave each other pedicures.

This simple and inexpensive foot soak recipe you will come back to over and over.

My foot bath has bumps on the bottom that I rubbed my feet on over and over again to loosen up the skin and get it to come off. My feet are soft and smooth because of the foot soak recipe and now flip flop ready and my wallet is happier for it. I considered doing the mouthwash recipe but I’m always looking to put less chemicals in and on my body and not more. I’d rather do a simple soak and scrub then use the chemicals in a mouthwash. And now I don’t have to worry about diseases because I clean my tub and wash it out myself. Is there any beauty treatment you do yourself instead of paying to have it done? Share it with me in a comment.

    I actually just got a pedicure so that my tootsies looked perfect in flip flops last week when I was away. I should try this next time.

    I have also heard about those nasty bacteria in salon foot soaks. The only time I can treat myself to diy foot soak is after the kids are in bed. I am going to give your helpful recipe a try. Thanks.

    I’ve never used Epsom salt as a food soak, but I know that it works well on skin. I need to try this the next time I am in need of a pedi!

    That sounds so nice right about now. The weather is back down in the 40s and rainy here after a gorgeous weekend. A warm foot bath sounds great!

    I’ve been wanting to get myself a foot spa for awhile now because pedicures are way too expensive! I also heard about bacteria from nail salons and I don’t want that to happen to me!

    My daughter was just looking at my foot tub. She was fascinated by it. I was thinking maybe I should give her a little pedicure and get her flip flop ready. She’s 1. 🙂

    Yes, epsom salts are AWESOME. As a ballerina, I use that quite often to soak my feet and legs (for sore muscles) in.

    DON’T. try the Listerine recipe where she says the blue is her favorite! I’m sure she cracks up every time she reads it because it doesn’t work! But I did have Smurfette feet I had to scrub to get the blue off….even around my toes!
