Feet have a rough job! They carry us around everywhere, they get stuffed into shoes, they get stubbed sometimes, they go through a lot! See if any of these sound familiar:
- Tired/sore feet
- Dry, cracked feet
- Dead skin
- Calluses
If you can relate to any of the problems above, it’s time to give your feet some extra loving! Don’t worry though, you don’t have to spend a fortune. These cheap DIY foot soaks will help you relax, and they’ll leave your feet softer, healthier, and refreshed.
1. DIY Clay Foot Soak
This foot soak helps remove toxins from your body because it contains bentonite clay. This clay expands while in water and attracts, absorbs, and traps toxins. The other ingredients in this recipe help soften your skin and detox further.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons bentonite clay
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Water to thin mixture (if needed)
- 1/2 cup Epsom salt
- 6 quarts of hot water (or enough to fill your container)
- A few drops of essential oils (optional)

Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of baking soda
- 1/3 cup Epsom salt
- the contents of 2 orange tea bags
- 5 drops of orange essential oil.
3. Listerine & Vinegar Foot Soak

Conclusion
