Baking powder: The unexpected hero of foot care
Quick and simple methods often turn out to be the best. It's worth turning your attention to the kitchen when you're struggling with rough feet or an unpleasant odour. There, you'll find a product that will work wonders for foot care.
In the daily hustle, it's easy to forget about regular skincare, especially for the feet. In winter, they're hidden in wool socks and warm shoes, and they usually don't resemble the smoothness seen in commercials. However, there's a way to improve the condition of your feet faster than with expensive cosmetics—without spending a fortune at the store. You can find the necessary product in your kitchen cabinet.
Homemade method for rough heels
Are your heels as rough as a grater? During the fall and winter, they're "doomed" to prolonged confinement in shoes under damp conditions. How can you remedy this? You don't have to rush to the pharmacy or store to find the perfect product. It's worth rummaging amongst products you have on hand. Our choice is baking powder, which you surely have in your kitchen.
It turns out it's useful not only for baking holiday cakes. You can also use it to prepare a foot soak.
How to prepare a baking powder soak?
Simply dissolve one tablespoon of baking powder in about 1 litre (approximately 4 cups) of water, then soak your feet for about 10 to 15 minutes. Afterwards, thoroughly clean your feet and apply a moisturizing cream. The soak can be used two to three times a week.
Soaking your feet in water and baking powder smooths the skin, eliminates unpleasant odours, and soothes irritations. The skin becomes delicate and soft, ready for further care, like removing dead skin cells.
