Treat Your Feet: A Secret At-Home Spa Ritual for Softer, Prettier Feet Bath & Body DIY Skin Care Mindfulness Women's Health
Fed up with hard skin on your feet? Don't have the time or funds to keep up with pedicures? I hear you. It's time to give your feet some love! Here's an inexpensive way to keep your feet in tip top condition, and it's best performed at night. It's my secret at-home spa ritual for softer, prettier feet!
My foot-spa ritual is a treat for your feet. It's like a mini-pedicure that you can do while relaxing in the comfort of your own home and in only five steps. The secret is Epsom salts, also known as magnesium sulfate. When Epsom salt is dissolved in water, it releases magnesium and sulfate ions that may be absorbed through your skin. Learn about the health benefits of Epsom salts.
After soaking your feet, you then apply vitamin E oil. Vitamin E oil serves as an antioxidant and moisturizer. Learn more about the benefits of vitamin E oil.
But mostly, this at-home spa ritual is about self-care. Taking time for yourself is not only good for the feet, but also for the mind. Exhale and enjoy the mindfulness time for you (and your feet)!

You'll need:

Here's how you do it:
