Your feet take more wear and tear than most parts of your body.
A long day of walking, standing, jumping, and trekking up stairs can take its toll.
They are also one of the most neglected parts of the body! While we spend lots of time caring for our face and hair, our feet rarely get pampered.
With sandal season coming around again, it’s time to think about caring for those hardworking soles. Dry, flaky, or cracked skin is unsightly and uncomfortable in the warm months when your feet are out and about!
You don’t need to schedule an expensive appointment or invest in a lot of store-bought products. You can care for your feet at home with these simple, natural DIY recipes.
Make sure your summer self care includes a little TLC for your feet. They deserve it and so do you!
Now, let’s dive into the recipes you’ll need to get started!

A foot balm stick is similar to foot lotion, but thicker, richer, and a little less messy to apply. It comes in an easy-to-use application stick, similar to homemade lip balm or DIY deodorant. All you need to do is swipe it along the heels, soles, or tops of your feet for DIY foot care in seconds!

FAQs
Soft feet are the result of regular exfoliating and moisturizing! Removing dead skin keeps the tough, callused patches at bay and allows the moisturizing products to work their magic. Then keeping the skin hydrated with foot baths, masks, lotions, and balms will have your feet feeling luxuriously soft. Incorporate these natural, homemade foot care products into your routine for silky smooth feet every single day!
That depends on the product and how hard you are on your feet. I recommend exfoliating and soaking on an as-needed basis whenever the skin is feeling flaky or tough. Moisturizing with foot lotion or foot balm can and should be done more often, even up to once a day.
