Baking soda is a staple in most kitchens, but its uses extend beyond cake-making and freshening up the fridge. When it comes to foot care, a baking soda soak can soften the skin and make it easier to remove roughness. Soaking in baking soda also helps eliminate foot odor. So if your feet are in need of some TLC, give them a spa treatment with an at-home baking soda foot soak.
Fill a basin with enough warm water to cover your feet.
Add 3 tablespoons of baking soda to the water, then use your hands to stir up the mixture.
Add a few drops of essential oil, such as rosemary, lavender or tea tree, along with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil or whole milk to help incorporate the oils into the water. Use your hands to combine the ingredients.
