- Let your feet soak for 10-15 minutes, and then pat them dry with a clean towel.
- Exfoliate any dead skin and follow up with a moisturizer.
Notes
- Test the temperature of the water before submerging your feet. I like to check it with my elbow first! We want warm water, not hot water!
- After soaking your feet, follow up with a gentle exfoliator such as homemade salt scrub for feet to remove any stubborn dry, or dead skin. If you have sensitive skin, a homemade sugar scrub may be better for you.
- Salt is naturally drying to the skin, so limit use to 1-2 times a week.
