A homemade foot soak recipe is one of the easiest skin care recipes to prepare. There are generally 3 things required to make it: water, Epsom salt (or sea salt), and an essential oil of your choice.
A foot soak is a great way to pamper your feet year round. It takes a few minutes to prepare and can be done any time you feel like relaxing or boosting your energy.
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
Water (enough to cover your feet)
1/2 cup of Epsom salt (or sea salt)
2-3 drops of essential oil of your choice
Step 1
Water needs to be hot so either boil it and let it cool down or use hot tap water.
Step 2
Add Epsom salt to water.
Step 3
Add essential oil of your choice.
Step 4
Soak your feet as long as you're comfortable and as long as you feel you need to.
Tips & Warnings
Epsom salt is generally used more often in preparation of homemade foot soak recipes because it contains magnesium sulfate. Magnesium sulfate relaxes the muscles and draws toxins out of skin. As I said, you can use sea salt if you don't have Epsom salt handy.
You can customize the recipe by choosing the essential oil you want. For example, lavender essential oil is used if you need to relax and calm down. Peppermint or eucalyptus essential oil is used when you need a boost of energy.
Be careful with the temperature of water. Remember: foot soak should be an enjoyable experience, water needs to be warm enough to make it relaxing but not too warm.
